Corrections and Clarifications

An item "Montgomery gets five years prison term" ("Snapshots - Sport" , October 11, 2008) said that Tim Montgomery was an Olympic champion. Some readers raised a doubt. He was one, having been a part of the U.S. 4x100m relay team which won gold in the 2000 Olympics and the 4x100m silver in the 1996 Olympics.
