LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- International Olympic Committee President Jacques Rogge cleared up the confusion (see my Monday Blog) over
what will happen if the IOC members vote down one or both of the two
sports that the IOC executive board recommends to join the Summer Games
sports program. Rogge said today that such a rejection in the Oct. 9
vote will not create an opportunity for one of the five other sports
trying to get on the program. "There cannot be a proposal for a third or fourth or fifth sport,'' Rogge said. -- Philip Hersh
