POT SINKS SWIMMER
PHOENIX (AP) - Gary Hall Jr., winner of two gold and two silver medals in
the 1996 Summer Olympics, has been suspended from competition by the
international swimming federation for a positive marijuana test. Hall, 23,
who lives in Phoenix, issued a statement Wednesday saying he will fight the
allegation but will be unable to compete in this month's Goodwill Games in
New York. If that test also is positive, FINA, the sport's international
governing body, would determine the length of the suspension.
