Now implicated in the mess are the gold-winning French ice-dance team of Russian-born Marina Anissina and Gwendal Peizerat.

...summers, I've met friends for drinks at the Greek Club downtown in the Egyptian capital, but this year there's a new ritual to our gathering: Before sitting down, everyone tosses their pack of cigarettes onto the table for a brand inspection. Gauloise (French), Cleopatra (Egyptian) and Rothmans (Canadian) pass without comment, but a pack of Marlboros demands explanation. Boycotting American cigarettes has become a standard political statement in a city where the vast majority of urban professionals are both smokers and fierce critics of Israel's military campaign in Palestinian territories.
