US medal hopeful Williams tests positive for marijuana
He also accepted a three-month period of ineligibility, which can be reduced to time served upon completion of an anti-doping educational program, USADA said in a statement.
Williams had been expected to meet British European champion Dwain Chambers over 60 meters in one of the highlights of the indoor championships, which begin in Doha today
Isinbayeva seeks redemption
After her debacle at the world championships last year, Russian pole vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva is sensing she’ll redeem herself with a gold medal at the world indoors.
Chinese hurdler Liu Xiang is happy just to be competing again, two years after an ankle injury at the Beijing Olympics started an all too long road to recovery.
Even now, the former world and Olympic champion says only that making the final is his goal, not winning. The role of favorite in the 60-meter hurdles belongs to Liu’s rival Dayron Robles, the Cuban who took over his reign as Olympic champion in the 110 hurdles.
In the women’s hurdles, Lolo Jones will seek to become the first woman to successfully defend her indoor title but will face tough challenges from fellow US hurdler Ginnie Powell and Canada’s Priscilla Lopes-Schliep, the season’s top performer.
In a season without a major outdoor global championship, victory at the three-day world indoors could go a long way to defining a season for many of the world’s greatest stars.
