Canada's Rebagliati is cleared
Snowboarder Ross Rebagliati shows his gold medal to reporters Feb. 12 after learning he will not have to give it back after all. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) had stripped him of his title after he failed a drugs test, but the decision was overruled on a technicality by the independent Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). Japanese police filed no charges against him following more than five hours of questioning earlier in the day. Police also searched his personal belongings at his hotel but found no marijuana.
