Rowdy Denver fans clash with police during party
DENVER — Police marched in riot gear and tossed tear gas at fans who celebrated the Broncos' Super Bowl victory by turning over cars and benches, lighting bonfires and breaking windows.
The Associated Press
"It was like following the path of a tornado," said Andrew Hudson, a spokesman for Mayor Wellington Webb. "It was just a really ugly scene by a lot of obnoxious people who were drunk. We are lucky no one got killed."
fans milling around Civic Center Park awaiting the arrival of the team. The Broncos arrived at Denver International Airport just after noon, two hours before their victory parade and rally.
There were 20 arrests in Denver and damage was estimated at $160,000. Hudson said. He added that windows at historic Brown Palace were broken and trash Dumpsters were set on fire.
It was far quieter yesterday, with
firecrackers. When the estimated crowd of 1,000 would not disperse in Larimer Square, police threw tear gas canisters at taunting youths and pounded their shields with clubs. Some youths threw bottles at the officers.
Police had predicted problems in rowdy fans, based on trouble
that erupted in 1988, when the Broncos won their first Super Bowl.
This year, they blocked access to downtown and banned parking along some streets.
In several spots downtown, officers on horseback kept crowds in check. People waved special newspaper editions, climbed poles and waved Bronco pennants.
Bars were havens of orange and blue. After the 34-19 victory over the Atlanta Falcons, many fans took their drinks and celebrations outdoors.
Last year about 30,000 people gathered downtown after the Broncos beat Green Bay in the Super Bowl. There were more than 25 arrests and 50 people were overcome by tear gas after vandals smashed shop windows, overturned cars and set fires in Larimer Square.
Drug summit overshadowed by scandals
The Associated Press
LAUSANNE, Switzerland — The International Olympic Committee, scrambling to keep its drug summit from being overshadowed by the Olympic corruption scandals, ran into disputes Monday about key issues in the anti-doping fight.
On the eve of what was billed as a watershed meeting in the war against performance-enhancing
drugs, differences emerged about the structure of a proposed international drug agency, the definition of doping and the severity of sanctions.
The IOC executive
board, meanwhile, met under tight secrecy to discus the twin crises of corruption and drugs.
In action directly linked to the bribery scandal, the board started the IOC's first ethics commission and code of conduct.
Director general Francois Carrard said the ethics panel would police the general conduct of IOC members and their business practices.
He said the five-member panel would include three officials from outside the IOC.
A major dispute is expected about the proposed agency for coordinating the worldwide drug fight.
The creation of an Olympic Movement Anti-Doping Agency is a centerpiece of the conference. Among other things, the agency would be responsible for instituting random, out-of-competition drug tests.
Olympic officials were divided on whether the agency should be run by the IOC or have a more independent status.
IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch said Sunday he would oversee the agency as president or chairman. And he proposed that the IOC medical commission chairman, Prince Alexandre de Merode, should run the agency on a day-to-day basis.
Critics contend De Merode has been ineffective in combating doping.
There were calls for the drug agency to be fully independent. Critics claim the body would lack credibility if it's run by the IOC, reeling from the worst corruption crisis in its 105-year history.
Carrard said no final decision had been made on the issue.
Falcon safety faces solicitation charges
The Associated Press
MIAMI — Eugene Robinson spoke with his usual passion. For the first time, though, Robinson faced a skeptical audience.
After a Super Bowl that went terribly wrong, the Atlanta Falcons' Pro Bowl safety paraded in front of a horde of media Sunday to discuss his arrest on charges of soliciting an undercover police officer for sex the night before the biggest game of the season.
It was one part denial, one part confessional, a series of conflicting messages from a deeply religious man who always had seemed so firm in his beliefs.
"I really believe and strongly believe I will be found innocent in this deal." Robinson said. "However, I'm not righteous in this deal."
He apologized to his family, his teammates and the entire organization for causing such a shocking distraction the night before the Falcons appeared in the NFL title game for the first time in their 33-year history.
The Falcons lost 34-19 to the Denver Broncos, with Robinson burned on the game's biggest play — an 80-yard touchdown pass to Rod Smith.
"I know a lot of people are saying that I'm just another hypocritical Christian," Robinson said. "I deserve that."
Falcons coach Dan Reeves allowed Robinson to start the Super Bowl, even though the player admitted that he didn't
sleep at all the night before the game. He was consolled in his hotel room by a group of teammates
including Cornelius Bennett, Ray Buchanan and William White — and spent five hours in prayer.
"It was a little distracting, but I don't think it was a major factor," Reeves said. "My major concern was whether he was going to be ready to play, and he said he was. I thought he did a good job."
Robinson added, "I was extremely focused on the game today. It didn't affect my play because it was pretty much therapeutic."
The Falcons defense took the field just more than five minutes into the game, and Robinson broke up Denver's first play: a pass from John Elway that was intended for Terrell Davis.
But Robinson was beaten by Smith down the middle of the field on the long touchdown pass, giving the Broncos a 17-3 lead late in the first half. In the third quarter, Robinson broke his left pinkie try to tackle terrell Davis, limiting his effectiveness the rest of the way.
A few hours before his arrest, Robinson was honored with the Bart Starr Award by the religious group Athletes in Action. Balloting is conducted among NFL players to select the person who displays "high moral character."
Robinson, who played in the last two Super Bowls with Green Bay, is the NFL's career leader among active players with 53 interceptions, including four this season.
