...President for the sake of restoring constitutional order." There is no provision in the Russian constitution that allows for canceling elections because of a state of emergency. However, the rules for imposing a state of emergency do empower the President to ban meetings and mass rallies and to suspend political parties.

U.S.S. president Carol Zaleski appealed for a clarification. Last month the U.S.S. board of directors said that while it believed Foschi, it had to suspend her. Then FINA issued a mere "strong warning" to Australian swimmer Samantha Riley after she tested positive for a banned but non-performance-enhancing drug. Zaleski reappealed, this time to get Foschi's ban rescinded...
