IOC president: No regret, no apology

BEIJING -- Jacques Rogge was adamant in defending an untenable position Saturday night.

Responding to a firestorm of criticism about China's ham-handed censorship of media access to the Internet, the International Olympic Committee president's bottom line was "absolutely no regrets'' about the IOC's having awarded the Games to China.

Rogge wound up praising China in much the same way some Italians lauded their World War II dictator, Mussolini, for making the trains run on time.

Do not support those who give a bad name to running, boycott all Devine Racing events: Marathon of Palm Beaches, New Jersey Marathon, Las Vegas Marathon, & Salt Lake City Marathon.
