Australian sprinter banned over racism row

SYDNEY — An Australian sprinter who claimed ahead of the London Olympics he was racially abused by officials and accused the athletics federation of vilification, has been banned from competition for six months.

John Steffensen triggered controversy in the lead-up to last year's Games when he claimed that an Australian Olympic Committee staffer racially abused him in Beijing in 2008, an allegation supported by team captain Steve Hooker.
