Cross wins another CSRA Women's title

Jan Cross, of West Lake Country Club, won her fourth CSRA Women's Golf Association 54-Hole Championship, moving her to within one victory of the all-time record in the 43-year-old tournament.

Cross, who opened with 78s at The Reserve Club and Midland Valley to build a five-shot lead, ended up winning by two shots after a final-round 89 at Jones Creek Golf Club in Evans.

Liz Scheuer, of Midland Valley, closed with 86 to finish second.

"Today, just about everybody played poorly," Cross said. "I played less poorly, or my lead was big enough going in. I thought I'd blown it, but I'll take it."

Cross also won this title in 1989, 1996 and 1998.

Betty Wren and Sandra Moody share the record for most victories with five.

Cross is now tied with Elaine Montano and Walton Horton with four wins.

Montano, who had won the previous three titles in this event, did not play this year.

Dee Newberry won the senior division, followed by Jan Chuey.

Cycling

President of the UCI supplied documents

The president of cycling's world governing body supplied L'Equipe with documents the French sports newspaper used to accuse Lance Armstrong of doping at the 1999 Tour de France, World Anti-Doping Agency chief Dick Pound said.

Pound said he received a letter from Hein Verbruggen, head of the cycling body, known by its initials UCI, saying he had provided L'Equipe's reporter with forms indicating Armstrong had tested positive for EPO during his first Tour victory.

"Mr. Verbruggen told us that he showed all the forms of Mr. Armstrong to L'Equipe and that he even gave the journalist a copy of one of the documents," Pound said during a conference call from Montreal.

"I don't understand why they're not stepping up to that and saying, 'Well, I guess we do know how the name got public, we made it possible,'" he said.

A week ago, the UCI said it had not received enough information to make a judgment on the accusations. It also criticized L'Equipe for targeting Armstrong and Pound for making public statements on the "likely guilt of the athlete" without knowing all the facts.

NHL

Crosby impresses teammates quickly

In Pittsburgh, Sidney Crosby needed all of a half period to get his name on the training camp score sheet.

Crosby, the NHL's No. 1 draft pick and a prospect many are comparing to the likes of Mario Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky, had a game-high three assists in leading his team to a 4-1 victory in a camp game Thursday.
