NFL to investigate Lewis injury report
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The NFL will investigate whether the Kansas City Chiefs improperly withheld information from the media and the Dallas Cowboys about an injury to cornerback Albert Lewis, a league representative said vetteday.
"We'll look into finding out the details, then take it up privately with the Chiefs," said Pete Abitane, the NFL's director of information.
Lewis said a decision to keep him out of Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Cowboys came just before kickoff.
NBC announcers Dick Enberg and Bob Trumpy said during the game that they were not told of Lewis' injury.
For nearly 30 years the NFL has required injury reports twice a week. Abitantale said. NFL clubs are required to notify the league, local media and the other team if an injury occurs after the final injury list comes out on
"The integrity of the injury reports is something we're very concerned about," Abitante said. "Everybody out there has a right to know exactly who's going to play.
Lewis said he injured his ribs against the Los Angeles Raiders three weeks ago. However, he said, the ribs were re-injured in the hours after the Oct. 15 injury list came out, making it impossible for the injury to appear on the list.
As to whether an injured player can be pulled immediately before game time, Abitane said, "That can be a coaching decision."
But the NFL should be told so that lineup changes can be announced to the media, he said.

Chiefs' leading scorer in 1991, veteran kicker Nick Lowery, is injured and may not play Sunday against Pittsburgh.
Gubicza to file for free agency; four other Royals may do same
Lowery injured
Lowery did not practice yesterday for the second consecutive day because of a strained groin muscle, and he is listed as probable for the Steelers game, the team said.
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Pitcher Mark Gubicza, who missed the last half of the season because of shoulder injuries, plans to file for free agency but would like to stay in the Kansas City Royals, he said.
"Ive played my whole career in Kansas City, and I like to say at the end of my career someday that I played it all there," Gabicza said Wednesday in a telephone interview from his home in Northridge, Calif.
"I like Kansas City, and I would like to stay there," the right-hander said.
"But you never know what might happen. What you hope and what happens isn't always the same thing."
Many teams are expected to delay signing their own free agents until after the Nov. 17 expansion draft so they can avoid protecting players on the 15-man protected expansion list.
"I don't have any problem with that... But as a player you have to protect yourself."
Gubicea, 30, made $2.95 million in the final year of a three-year contract, and his agent started negotiations this
Gubicea is working his way back into pitching shape after an injury-riddled season, which ended before the All-Star break with a 7-6 record and 3.72 earned run average.
"I'm working out pretty hard now, and I'm anxious to see how the arm feels in December," he said. "I know I can come back and be the type of pitcher I was in the first half of the season."
Gubiza is one of five Royals eligible to file for free agency, including infielder-outfielder Juan Samuel, who was dropped from the 40-man roster Wednesday to make room for Kevin Morton, a newly acquired pitcher.
Morton, a 24-year-old left-hander,
was acquired on waivers from the Boston Red Sox. He was 6-5 with the苏 in 1991 but spent last season with his Pawtucket farm club and was only 2-12 with a 5.45 earned run average. Other Royals eligible for free agency are catcher Bob Melin, infield curler Wilkerson and outfielder Jim Eisenreich. All are expected to file.
Jordan testifies in drug, money laundering trial
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Professional basketball's Michael Jordan testified in federal court yesterday that a $57,000 cashier's check he gave to a suspected drug dealer covered gambling losses from a weekend of golf and poker at an exclusive South Carolina resort.
Jordan, a guard for the Chicago Bulls and a former University of North Carolina player, testified briefly during the money laundering and drug trial of James "Slim" Bouler, 41.
The government claims Bouler used his role as a golfer as a front to his real job as a drug courier for cocaine kingpins Pee Wee Givens, who is dead, and Edward "Ned" Johnson, who is serving a 20-year drug sentence.
When the money was seized last October by the government, Bouler and Jordan said it was a loan from Jordan for a golf driving range. Last week, Jordan told a Chicago newspaper it was a gambling debt. Then he said he was misquoted.
Yesterday, when defense attorney James Wyatt asked Jordan what the $57,000 was for, he responded, "For what I lost gambling on golf and later in poker when he loaned me some money. I didn't have any money."
Wyatt asked Jordan if he was obligated to pay Bouler any money at the end of the weekend at Hilton Head, S.C.
"I was obligated, but I did not," Jordan replied. "I paid him at a later date."
Jordan testified that when he gambled on golf with Bouler, the stakes ranged from $20 to $1,000 a hole.
During cross-examination, assistant U.S. attorney Frank Whitney asked Jordan why he originally described the money as a loan.
"It was not represented as a loan at all," he said. "It was my immediate reaction to the media after a game to save embarrassment, pain and the connection to gambling."
Before the defense rested yesterday, Bouler also took the stand. He cried while testifying about his ordeal since the government seized the check he says he
"It was not represented as a loan at all. It was my immediate reaction to the media..."

Guard for the Chicago Bulls
won in a golf match with Jordan.
Several convicted drug dealers testified about Bouler's drug business during the three-day trial, but Bouler said yesterday he had never met most of the men who testified against him.
Prosecutors want the jury to force Bouler to forfeit the money if they convict him.
Attorneys will give closing arguments today before the case goes to the jury.
At the request of prosecutors, U.S. District Judge Robert Potter dismissed three money laundering charges against Bouler, who still faces seven other money laundering charges, one count of conspiracy to possess cocaine with intent to distribute and one firearms count.
Jordan said he met Bouler through a "third party."
Bouler said it was his idea to call Jordan's $57,000 check a loan.
He said he had not spoken with Jordan since the money was seized.
"I told him there probably would be a lot of nosy people asking about it," Bouler said. "I told him if they ask me, I'll tell them it was a loan."
When Wyatt asked Bouler what has happened since the government seized the money, he covered his eyes with his hands and began to cry. After composing himself, he told the jury he won the money from Jordan in the golf match at Hilton Head Island.
