Winter Olympics briefs
 Doping
NORWAY'S PROPOSAL: Angered by cheating at the Salt Lake City Games, Norway gave a 10-point anti-doping plan to IOC president Jacques Rogge on Thursday.
Norwegian Prime Minister Kjell Magne Bondevik also called on Spanish cross-country skier Johann Muehlegg, who won three gold medals but was stripped of one because of a failed drug test, to surrender all his medal from the 2002 Winter Games.
Bondevik said he and Rogge discussed doping during a short meeting. Earlier this week, Norwegian sports officials challenged the IOC in a world sports court over Salt Lake City medals.
Norwegian officials insist that athletes caught for doping in Salt Lake City must surrender all medals from the games, not just those linked to failed doping tests. The IOC has rejected the Norwegian position.
Cross country
MUEHLEGG RETIRES: Johann Muehlegg, who was stripped of a gold medal because of drug use at last month's Winter Olympics, has retired while insisting he is innocent.
"I am retiring because I want to," the Spanish cross-country skier told the daily ABC in an interview. "The last 50 meters of the 50K race, I knew that they were going to be the last of my career."
The German-born skier was stripped of his 50-kilometer gold medal — his third gold of the Salt Lake City Games — after testing positive for darbepoetin, which boosts production of oxygen-carrying red blood cells.
Muehlegg faces a fine and a possible two-year suspension from the International Ski Federation.
Figure skating
HEARING SET: The International Skating Union will hold a hearing April 29-30 in Lausanne, Switzerland, on the figure skating scandal that shook the Winter Olympics.
The ISU said Thursday it was unable to schedule the hearing earlier because of a busy competition calendar, including next week's World Championships in Nagano, Japan.
The investigation centers on the conduct of French judge Marie-Reine Le Gougne, suspended by the ISU after voting for the Russians in the pairs' competition in Salt Lake City.
The Russians received the gold medal, but the International Olympic Committee later awarded duplicate gold to Canadians Jamie Sale and David Pelletier.
