...I.O.C. came down harshest on 16-year-old Romanian gymnast Andreea Raducan, who forfeited a gold medal after being given a cold medicine by the team doctor. "We have applied the law," said I.O.C. director general Francois Carrard. "In the fight against doping we have to be tough and refrain from emotions and feelings." Crackdowns are seldom pretty...

Thursday, Busch brought charges of involuntary manslaughter against 19-year-old Jamelle James, who lived in the same house as the young killer. Although Michigan recently adopted some of the nation's harshest juvenile penalties, a six-year-old is universally considered too young to understand the consequences of his behavior. Busch alleges that by making the gun available to the boy, James was "grossly negligent" and contributed to the delinquency of a minor - a misdemeanor that led, Busch claims, to the shooting...
