TRAINING STINT AT CHELSEA IN DOUBT
BEIJING: The Chinese Olympic soccer team's two- week training stint at Chelsea's training ground next month has been jeopardised by visa problems.
Chinese media reported yesterday that the Under-21 side are scheduled to arrive at the English champions' training centre in Surrey on Feb 1.
But a failure to apply in time for their visas from the British consulate at Marseilles may force them to reconsider their London trip and stay on in France, Sohu.com reported.

NOT AMUSED BY ON-LINE SPOOFS
BEIJING: Beijing Games organisers have threatened legal action against on-line pranksters who poke fun at official Olympic symbols.
A rash of digital spoofs on the 2008 Olympic emblem and mascots had appeared on the Internet, in Chinese websites and chat rooms.
The Beijing Organising Committee for the 2008 Olympic Games condemned the practice as 'tarnishing the Olympic spirit'.
