tunning transvestites and transgenders from all over the world have converged on Chon Buri to participate in the 5th annual Miss International Queen pageant. The Miss International Queen 2009 will be crowned on Saturday night. “The contestants come from more than 30 countries,” Tiffany Show Pattaya assistant managing director Alisa Phantusak said yesterday. Her company has organised the pageant with support from the Tourism Authority of Thailand. Yesterday, the contestants participated in activities in Nong Nooch Garden. “The pageant will boost tourism in Thailand,” Alisa said. The crowned beauty queen gets a cheque for US$10,000 (Bt335,000) among many other prizes. The first runnerup will get $2,000, or about Bt70,000, while the second runner-up will receive $1,500 (Bt50,000). Both will be showered with gifts from sponsors too. The gal judged Miss Congeniality at the pageant will get $300 (Bt10,000) plus gifts, with a similar reward going to Miss Photogenic. The aim of the Miss International Queen Pageant is to advance and support the transgender/ transsexual community, and offer its members a great opportunity to present their “individual beauty and intelligence” in a friendly atmosphere. “These days, public acceptance of transvestites and transgenders has clearly increased,” Nong Nooch Garden sales manager Jirapreut Sodorn said yesterday.

New dawn for Kritichai Poverty-stricken schoolboy looks to the future after Their Majesties respond to his plea for help with scholarship By Pratheep Nanthaparp D A I L Y X P R E S S , Lampang
T
hirteen-year-old schoolboy Kritichai Krajai from Lampang’s Muang Pan district said yesterday he was overjoyed and deeply grateful for Their Majesties the King and Queen’s response to his letter appealing for help for his poverty-stricken family. Following news that Privy Councillor Admiral Chumpol Pachusanon would on Their Majesties’ behalves present a vocational fund, a scholarship and other items, and also give royal-granted items to 500 locals at Muang Pan School on Monday, Daily Xpress yesterday visited the Mathayom 1 student
of Jaeson Wittayalai School at the dilapidated home where he lives with his grandparents. Kritichai described how, after his parents separated when he was only eight months old, his impoverished grandparents had worked hard to raise him. He does odd jobs at weekends and holidays to help earn money for the household.
Birthday wishes come true He said he wrote the letter to Their Majesties in January 2008 after the birthday he shares with His Majesty – December 5 – failed to deliver the gift of a better future he was desperate for. In it he described his family’s impoverished living
conditions and expressed his wish for a new home and a scholarship. “I’m so grateful to them for showing such compassion. I will pray for their good health and longevity with all my heart. “I’ll study hard and get a bachelor’s degree. I want to be an army officer and take care of my grandparents.” Kritichai and his grandparents pay daily homage to the image of Their Majesties that hangs on one wall of their home. Jaeson Wittayalai School director Sanguan Taemdee said Kritichai was a good student who was helpful and got along well with classmates. He added that the boy was excited about the ceremony on Monday and had been practising the speech he would give every day.
Deputy Bangkok Governor Theerachon Manomaipiboon yesterday handed out a Bt2,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of men apprehended with an elephant in Lat Phrao and said that from November 6 the city would be getting tough on such animal abuse. Three Buri Ram men apprehended on Tuesday night allegedly begging with a six-year-old elephant at Soi Lat Phrao-Wang Hin 5 will face charges, while their two elephants will be transported to Kanchanaburi’s Elephant Shelter. Theerachon said anyone ringing the 1555 hotline with information leading to the arrest of beggars with elephants would be rewarded with Bt2,000.
All aboard! Good news for wannabe sailors: Merchant Marine courses are being developed at Nakhon Si Thammarat Seaboard Industrial College and Rayong’s Ban Khai Technical College, a senior official said yesterday. Vocational Education Commission secretary-general Chaleyo Yoosimarak signed an agreement with SC Management, Siam Gas and Petrochemicals, and PSP Fibertech to develop courses to meet the country’s demand for skilled manpower at sea and increase its ability to compete. SC Management also granted 30 scholarships per year to the Ban Khai Technical College’s Higher Vocational Certificate in Vessel Mechanics programme.

hai students walked away with a whopping 28 awards from the Inter City Robot Olympiad 2009 in Hong Kong on Tuesday, beating competition from cities such as Beijing, Hong Kong and Shanghai. “Our students have shown they can compete and beat their peers in other countries,” Educational Innovation Development Centre director Wanpen Sujiputto said yesterday. Her centre is supervised by the Office of the Basic Education Commission, which selected the teams participating in the Robot Olympiad, which started on Saturday and ended Tuesday. Of the 18 Thai teams competing in the 16 categories, nine were made up of primary students, one of junior-secondary level students and eight of students from seniorsecondary classes.
The Thai delegation returns home from the Inter City Robot Olympiad 2009, which was held in Hong Kong, with 28 awards.
Tug-of-war triumph The star performers in the competition were the team from Anuban Chumpuang Wittaya School, which bagged three first prizes in various categories including the robot tug-of-war. A Phitsanulok primary-
school team took gold in the robot triathlon along with two more first-prizes and a third in other categories. The Triam Udom Suksa Pattanakarn School team bagged a bronze medal, while the Paphayom Phittayakhom School team clinched a silver,
a bronze and a fourth prize. The Tessabarn 1 Sangkhawit School team won a bronze in the amphibious-robot category and a fourth-place elsewhere. The Nongsoong Samakkee Wittaya School team bagged a gold, while a Chiang Rai primary-school team won silver in the tug-of-war and bronze in the speed test. The Benjamaratrangsarit 2 School team took home a gold from the triathlon along with three silvers and a bronze, and the Benjamatheputit School
team clinched a single silver. Other impressive results came from the Triam Udom Suksa Pattanakarn Nonthaburi School team – two golds, a silver and a bronze – and the Montfort College team which won fourth prize in the highly competitive fighting-robot category. Arriving back in Bangkok with the Thai delegation yesterday, Wanpen said: “We are sending Thai students to the upcoming World Robot Olympiad in South Korea too.”

M
ichael Jackson fans were left blown away as powerful winds provided a fittingly turbulent backdrop to the tortured King of Pop’s concert movie send-off. Several of them expressed delight after watching early screenings of Jackson’s film “This Is It” at Los Angeles’s Nokia Theatre. The mood at simultaneous premieres around the world on Tuesday and yesterday was tearful yet celebratory. At the Los Angeles premiere near the arena where much of the rehearsal footage was shot, “This Is It” director and longtime Jackson collaborator Kenny Ortega introduced the film to the audience, calling it the “last sacred documentation of our leader and our friend”. Said Jessica Childs, a 21year-old aspiring dancer who caught the Los Angeles premiere: “Michael looked better than he did when he was 30. His voice stood out.” Four of Jackson’s brothers –
Jermaine, Marlon, Tito and Jackie – attended, saying afterward that seeing their brother on film filled them with love and pride. Before the premiere, Ortega wiped away tears as he greeted dancers and celebrity guests, including Paula Abdul. Among others attending were Will Smith, Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton and Neil Patrick Harris. “It was beautiful. It was sad. It brought you closer to who he was as a person,” said Abdul afterward. Clocking in at one hour, 51 minutes, the film was culled from more than 100 hours of footage that captures Jackson as a showman, a mentor coaching back-up talent and a goodwill ambassador. Near the film’s end, Jackson and the crew hold hands as he gives them a pep talk about the London shows. “It’s a great adventure,” Jackson tells his colleagues. “We want to take them places they’ve never been before. We have to bring love back into the world.”
‘Doctor fed Smith’s addiction’

Anna Nicole Smith’s doctor was feeding her addiction to prescription medications by excessively prescribing opiates, including a drug nicknamed “hospital heroin”, a pain management expert testified on Tuesday.

Gagne testified at a preliminary hearing to determine whether Kapoor and two other defendants should stand trial on charges that they illegally funnelled drugs to Smith. All have pleaded not guilty.

The flawed script of ‘Lom Haichai’ leaves Boyd Kosiyabong’s songs a ghost of a chance By Pawit Mahasarinand S P E C I A L T O D A I LY XPRESS
T
he success of “jukebox musicals” – plays based on popular songs – lies in the script and how it uses the tunes in a plausible and entertaining way. When the writer or musical director, due to a lack of time or creativity, fails to give the familiar tunes a new shine, the show becomes merely a revue – or a concert. Such is the case with “Lom Haichai the Musical” (“Breath”), based on the songbook of Boyd Kosiyabong and heavily inspired by Hollywood movies like “Always” and “Ghost”. Although the ads suggest otherwise, the show is not directed by Boy Thakonkiet, but Thailand-born, Singapore-bredand-based Ekachai Uekrongtham, who’s best known for his award-winning film “Beautiful Boxer”. Unfortunately, he doesn’t use Action Theatre, his Singapore team. “Lom Haichai” simply looks, sounds and feels like just another Boy musical. One unmemorable scene, supposedly romantic, interprets the hit tune “Dokmai” (“Flower”) with an amateurish dance you might have seen at the Royal Flora botanical show in Chiang Mai a few years ago.
COURTESY OF SCENARIO
That explains everything Ekachai’s direction falls prey to a script from Scenario’s team that’s stocked with onedimensional characters, cheesy lines and predictable twists. It’s as though they assumed that viewers leave their brains
at the door, so everything needs to be explained, repeatedly. As in other Scenario musicals, the actors often face the audience rather than their scene partners, like in a concert. Meanwhile spectacular lighting effects prevent us from empathising with the characters and their dramatic situations. Patiparn “Mos” Pataweekarn’s performance is never credible as an architect who can’t commit to marriage before his untimely death, and then as a god-like spirit from the afterlife who returns to solve his friends’ troubles. He’s still in character from the hit movie “Kling Wai Kon Phor Son Wai” almost two decades ago and, as in “Fah Charod Sai”, his singing skills fall short. Nicole Theriault has a superior voice, but when she’s not singing, she adopts the youngand-innocent image that made her famous more than a decade ago.
Scene stealers With the shortcomings of the two leads, Pongsak Rattanapong steals the show in his theatre debut. His portrayal of Tor, Pad’s younger friend who has a secret crush on Fon, is filled with credible sincerity. Rudklao Amratisha, in the meatiest stage role since her college days, is another audience favourite, so much so that we wish her character Chan found new love and got married. She can both sing and act effortlessly, and when she sings she does so in character. Read the full review at Blog.NationMultimedia.com /DanceAndTheatre.

A
photograph of a young woman in a contemplative pose, “Laura”, has won first prize in the US National Portrait Gallery’s triennial competition for new styles of portraiture. The winning entry, by Dave Woody of Fort Collins, Colorado, was created when the photographer was a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin. Working in a studio with natural light, Woody asked a female fellow student to sit. In the picture, she is dressed plainly in a green sweater and white shirt with a brown curl framing the left side of her face.
The award-winning portrait ‘Laura’, by Dave Woody of Fort Collins, Colorado.
Working very slowly and with a large-format 8x10 non-digital camera, Woody captured an expression of a woman lost in her thoughts, but also one who hopes to sneak a glance at what the photographer is doing.
The finalists from among 3,300 submissions, along with the winner, were announced recently at the museum, which is part of the Smithsonian Institution. Second place went to Stanley Rayfield of Richmond, Virginia.,
who painted “Dad”, a picture of his father standing in a hospital room with oxygen tubes coming from his nose, a patch over his eye. Rayfield posed his father in a determined, almost boxer’s stance, with his robe open, his girth exposed, but with a clear look signalling that he’s still in charge. Third prize went to a solo figure by Adam Vinson of Jenkintown, Pennsylvania. Vinson chose oil to memorialise his wife, sitting with a tattered doll in her lap and fingering a magnifying glass. “Dressy Bessy Takes a Nap” is Vinson's homage to the European vanitas style and the works of the Dutch masters. As winner, Woody will receive a cash award of $25,000 and a commission to do a portrait for the gallery. As a final phase of the competition, the museum announced that it will also be giving a People's Choice Award, based on votes received from the public, at the museum or online at www.NPG.si. edu, through January 18.

A focus on breasts

Don’t shy away from medical help if you find a lump in your breast – it could save your life By Parinyaporn Pajee D A I LY X P R E S S
E
very single day, seven Thai women will find a lump in their breasts. Some, of course, will be benign. But others will not. And of those who do consult a doctor, most have already left it too late to get the kind of treatment that won’t be invasive. Breast and cervical cancer all too often prove fatal for Thai women. Yet most Thai women remain too shy, or perhaps too scared, to go for check ups until the cancer develops into a more dangerous stage. Every year, organisations like the Thai Breast Disease Society (TBS) launch new awareness campaigns, often giving out free booklets that urge Thai women to be more alert and conduct regular checks on their own health.

Saying yes to noni New fruit drinks promise health benefits DEUTSCHE PRESSEAGENTUR
D
rink manufacturers increasingly promise their wares can boost health with just a few swallows. Nowhere is this more common than at the recent Anuga nutritional conference in Cologne, Germany. For example, a fruity concoction of nettles, ginkgo and ginseng is supposed to ward off stress. Additional magnesium is meant to relax muscles. A special juice that won the Anuga Innovation Award, Taste09, uses the noni fruit, reportedly to build up the immune system, reduce in-
flammation and protect from cellular ageing. Cranberry and pomegranate extracts promise cell renewal and protection from prostate cancer. Most manufacturers are responding to improved health awareness among consumers, most of whom want to ward off disease and improve their general health, reported the Cologne Convention Centre, which sponsored Anuga. According to the GfK market research company, in Germany spending on healthy food increased 33 per cent between 2002 and the first half of 2008. Trend researchers say they see a
growing market for functional food, which provides nutrition while providing an extra health boost. Exotic super fruits like pomegranates, acia, acerola and noni play a special role. They contain large quantities of vitamins and cell-protecting antioxidants, making them the “ideal” for the “well-food zone”. Another trend: a lot of fruit juices, smoothies and energy drinks are now coming in single-serve containers, so-called shots. Many of these are supposed to contain the same kick as a large serving, making them perfect for travel.

By Eugenia Last
Today’s Birthday: This is a great year to take a fresh look at some old ideas and make changes that enhance your outlook, image and your home environment. It’s time to open up and include the thoughts and suggestions of the ones you love into your own game plan. Accomplishment will come easy and your journey will take you to a place you can call home.
Yesterday’s Puzzle Answer Complete the grid so that every row, column and 3x3 box contains every digit from 1 to 9 inclusively.
ARIES *** March 21-April 19 Don’t set yourself up by giving out too much information. You can be sure someone will go above and beyond the call of duty to get your attention. Get all the facts and figures you need. TAURUS **** April 20-May 20 Don’t be so predictable. It’s the element of surprise that will give you the edge when it comes to advancement. Avoid arguments with people to whom you are emotionally attached. GEMINI ** May 21-June 20 Tying up your cash or your time cannot be allowed. You have to protect what you have and refuse to give in to pressure. Concentrate on work and the relationships you feel are worthwhile.
DIFFICULTY RATING ★★★★
CANCER ***** June 21-July 22 New experiences will do you good and will help to shape what’s to come. Make physical and emotional changes that will boost your confidence and get you moving down a positive path. LEO *** July 23-Aug. 22 Do your best to please the people you care for. A change within a partnership will catch you by surprise. Be upfront. Love is on the rise and can play an important role in your financial future.
CELEBRITIES BORN ON THIS DAY
VIRGO *** Aug. 23-Sept. 22 You can make some emotional pleas that will help you sort out any personal problems you’ve been harbouring. Some alterations could make a difference to someone you are trying to please. LIBRA *** Sept. 23-Oct. 22 Make a move that enables you to put your talents to better use. Look for a position that will allow you to do what you do best and you will gain security and greater stability in your life financially. SCORPIO ***** Oct. 23-Nov. 21 Don’t do anything that isn’t necessary, especially if it entails travel or dealing with government or institutions. Keep things mellow and avoid anyone who appears to be argumentative. SAGITTARIUS ** Nov. 22-Dec. 21 You will be tempted by an offer. Before you decide to accept, consider the consequences and whether you are prepared to deal with someone who may not approve. Face any dilemma head on.
Richard Dreyfuss
Guitarist Denny Laine (Wings) is 65. Singer-actress Melba Moore is 64. Guitarist Peter Green is 63. Actor Richard Dreyfuss is 62. Actress Kate Jackson is 61. Actor Dan Castellaneta is 52.

CAPRICORN **** Dec. 22-Jan. 19 Keep things out in the open so you cannot be accused of going behind someone’s back. An old lover or friend is likely to come to mind. You may want to get in touch but don’t get lured in. AQUARIUS *** Jan. 20-Feb. 18 It will be easy to set someone off who doesn’t like change or feels threatened by what you are doing. You must avoid errors now by being honest about the way you feel. PISCES *** Feb. 19-March 20 Before you make a poor judgement call, ask someone you trust for an outsider’s opinion. It’s better to be safe than sorry when dealing with issues that concern both emotions and finances.

Police charged a 43-year-old woman with prostitution yesterday after she offered sexual services in exchange for tickets to the upcoming World Series. Susan Finkelstein, of Philadelphia, was arrested after police responded to an advertisement she posted on online classified site Craigslist, the Bensalem, Pennsylvania, police department said on its website. Finkelstein’s ad, which was still posted on Craigslist on Tuesday, described her as a “desperate blond” in need of tickets to the World Series featuring her hometown Philadelphia Phillies against the New York Yankees. – AFP

THAI ON A MISSION Thongchai out to clinch Asian merit crown in Singapore AFP, Singapore
T
hai star Thongchai Jaidee hopes a strong showing at the Barclays Singapore Open this week will help him wrap up an unprecedented third Asian Tour Order of Merit crown. The 12-time Asian Tour winner spearheads the regional challenge at the Sentosa Golf Club in the co-sanctioned five million dollar event which has attracted a stellar line-up from the Asian Tour and European Tour. Fresh from a week’s break at home, Thongchai is on a mission and knows a good week will also help him achieve his goal of breaking into the world’s top-50 which comes with exemptions into the Majors. “It’s a big field and it’s very exciting for the Asian Tour as it is a big event for us. I’m trying to get better and will keep trying. It’s an important week,” said Thongchai, who is currently ranked 60 in the world. The former paratrooper has
been in superb form this season with wins in Indonesia and Malaysia, followed by an impressive tied 13th finish at the British Open in Scotland. He has earned US$869,872 this season and leads the merit race by $475,000 from secondplaced Anthony Kang. The Thai ace knows he will have to be at the top of his game if he is to take the bumper first prize cheque of $833,330 here. “You never know who will win the tournament. All the players are very strong. If you win this week, you’ll jump up the rankings,” he said. “I’ll try my best and I think I have a good chance as well. There are big world ranking points here. Top-50 is a priority for me but it’s not easy to achieve.” His title aspirations will be put to the test as he has been paired with world No 2 Phil Mickelson for the opening two rounds. But Thongchai is ready for the challenge. “I’ve not played with Phil before. I always enjoy playing with any [top] player. I hope to enjoy a good week,” he said. Singapore’s Lam Chih Bing is also relishing a return to
Sentosa, which sparked a career breakthrough last season. He played his way into the final group on Sunday and although he eventually finished tied 18th, the confidence gained saw him secure a maiden title on the Asian Tour several weeks later. “I have been waiting for this week all year. I am playing alright and I’m hoping to peak at the right time,” said Lam. “I can pretty much remember every shot from last year. It was one of the best experiences I had last year playing with Phil [Mickelson] on the last day and I learned a lot from the last round, how to handle myself.” Meanwhile, two golf magazines have reported that Michael Whan has been selected new LPGA Tour commissioner and was to be introduced later yesterday morning in New York. Golfweek magazine obtained a memo from acting commissioner Marty Evans informing players that Whan has “extensive brand management and marketing experience, including two stints in the golf industry with TaylorMade and Wilson.”
rnie Els hit out yesterday at the European Tour for scheduling the World Matchplay Championship to clash with the Singapore Open. The big South African is the defending Matchplay champion and a seven-time winner of the event, but instead of being in Spain he is in Singapore where he is committed to play under contractual obligations with sponsor Barclays. It is the second time in three years that Els has found fault with the scheduling after being unable to play the Volvo Masters in 2007 when it too clashed with Singapore. At the time he was leading the European Order of Merit and claimed missing the Masters prevented him finishing the year on top of the money list. “It has been a little controversial for me,” he said about this year’s scheduling. “The one year here the European Tour put the Volvo Masters up against the Singapore Open [in 2007 when it was an Asian Tour event] and I could not play the final event on the European Tour and it cost me the money title. “So I was not very pleased about that and the fall out from that, the criticism I got about European Tour players playing in an Asian event. “We have got more controversy this week because of the Matchplay which they have put up against the Singapore Open, I do not understand that. It is a tournament I have won seven times.” The World Matchplay Championship, which has run since 1964, leaves England’s Wentworth Golf Club this year for the first time in its history after a break in 2008 after HSBC pulled out as headline sponsor.

REAL MADRID SHAMED Spanish media mock Meringues after Cup shock D P A , Madrid
he Spanish press poured ridicule on Real Madrid yesterday after their expensively assembled team slumped to a 4-0 cup defeat to third-division part-timers Alcorcon. Tuesday’s away defeat in the King’s Cup was on the front pages of practically every newspaper in the country, with some calling for coach Manuel Pellegrini to be sacked. New president Florentino Perez spent US$342 million on eight new players ahead of the season, and although Real were missing some of the signings there were plenty of big-name players on view in the astonishing defeat. Cristiano Ronaldo and Gonzalo Higuain may have been absent while Pellegrini also decided to rest Kaka and Lassana Diarra, but only one player in the starting line-up (Esteban Granero) was not a full international. Sports daily Madrid called the defeat a “historic disgrace” and called for Pellegrini, who has only been in the job for five months, to go. An online poll taken by Marca showed that 83 per cent of readers believed the defeat in Alcorcon was the “biggest ridicule in the history of Real Madrid,” ahead of Real’s 6-2 meltdown at home against deadly rivals Barcelona last May. Alcorcon, an unfashionable industrial suburb to the south of Madrid, play in the regional third division. Their players are part-timers who work or

Rival daily AS called the thrashing “The Ridicule of the Century”, and 69 per cent of readers voted for Pellegrini to be sacked. Prestigious daily El Pais said Real players were “apathetic and indolent”, and that Pellegrini “seems to have lost control of them.” Radio station Cadena SER even hinted that the players might have been “making Pellegrini’s bed”, in other words deliberately losing in order for the Chilean coach to be sacked. Pellegrini annoyed the players by insisting on a two-day training camp before the match, instead of giving them a

teners that “player power” has caused many a Real Madrid coach to be ousted over the years – and could also get rid of Pellegrini. The second leg of the cup tie will be played in Real’s Estadio Bernabeu on November 10. Whether Pellegrini lasts that long is another question.
Coach blames injuries Pellegrini blamed injury disruptions for his team’s recent poor run of results. Meanwhile, Madrid director general Jorge Valdano stopped short of guaranteeing Pellegrini’s job was safe. “There are lots of players who are out of form who have been returning from injuries,” Pellegrini said.
Robson to experiment in Phuket final Thailand coach Bryan Robson will continue his policy of experimenting with different players and formations when his Thailand XI take on Vietnamese outfit Hong Anh Gia Lai in the final of Phuket Kata Group Cup today. Robson’s reign got off to a winning start when Thailand XI, mostly comprised of players from the Asian Cup squad, notched up a 2-0 win over Burmese champions Yadanabon in a rain-soaked encounter. Despite his side making it to the final, the ex-England and Manchester United captain admitted there was still much room for improvement, particularly in the defence, which he feels is not tight enough. The Englishman also warned that no player was guaranteed a place in his line-up and that team selection would be based only on individual player’s form. It seems certain that there will be a number of changes when the Thai team sheet is released for today’s fixture as Robson has hinted he will give as many players as possible the chance to prove their worth. The Vietnamese made it to the final the hard way, requiring a penalty shootout to eventually beat newly-crowned Thailand Premier League champions Muang Thong United. Hong Anh Gia Lai coach Dusit Charoemsan, a former national player, reckoned that his team would start as underdogs in the match to be played at Surakul stadium. DAILY XPRESS
Spurs boss sees brighter future for Bentley A F P , London

ottenham manager Harry Redknapp is optimistic that misfit midfielder David Bentley may have turned the corner at White Hart Lane after inspiring his team to victory over Everton in the fourth round of the League Cup. The former Blackburn star created the first of Spurs’ goals in a 2-0 win on Tuesday which heaps more pressure on dis-
gruntled Toffees manager David Moyes, who refused to turn up to the post-match press conference. “His [Bentley] attitude in training has not been as good as it could have been, I’ve told him and he accepts it, but I thought he was fantastic here,” Redknapp said of his inconsistent midfielder. “He’s a decent boy with great ability but with Aaron Lennon playing so well I think he
couldn’t see any light at the end of the tunnel. “He got the opportunity and took it with both hands. It will be very hard not to play him at the Emirates,” the ex-West Ham boss said, referring to Saturday’s north London derby with Arsenal. “It all depends on David Bentley. It’s up to him to keep performing like that, whether he wants to stay or leave, but I
want to keep him.” Former Arsenal player Bentley was named the manof-the-match but admitted when picking up his award that his attitude had been questionable of late, claiming that his mind had wandered away from football. “It’s been a difficult time since I’ve been here. I’ve encountered every problem in the book and it’s just nice to get my head down now.”

AGASSI Eight-time grand slam winner writes in his autobiography that he used the drug in 1997
A
ndre Agassi’s upcoming autobiography contains an admission that he used crystal meth in 1997 and lied to tennis authorities when he failed a drug test – a result that was thrown out after he said he “unwittingly” took the substance. According to an excerpt of the autobiography published yesterday in The Times of London, the eight-time Grand Slam champion writes that he sent a letter to the ATP tour to explain the positive test, saying he accidentally drank from a soda spiked with meth by his assistant “Slim.” “Then I come to the central lie of the letter,” Agassi writes.
“I say that recently I drank accidentally from one of Slim’s spiked sodas, unwittingly ingesting his drugs. I ask for understanding and leniency and hastily sign it: Sincerely. “I feel ashamed, of course. I promise myself that this lie is the end of it.” Agassi said the ATP reviewed the case, accepted his explanation and threw it out. ATP spokesman Nicola Arzani said yesterday he would not comment “at the moment,” and the International Tennis Federation’s Emily Bevan referred all questions to the ATP. Agassi retired in 2006.

I WAS ACTUALLY EXCITED ABOUT TELLING THE WORLD THE WHOLE STORY. Andre Agassi
November 9, are being published this week in the London newspaper, as well as Sports Illustrated and People magazines.
In a story posted on People magazine’s website on Tuesday, Agassi says: “I can’t speak to addiction, but a lot of people would say that if you’re using anything as an escape, you have a problem.” According to The Times of London website, Agassi writes in his book that “Slim” was the person who introduced him to crystal meth, dumping a small pile of powder on the coffee table. “I snort some. I ease back on the couch and consider the Rubicon I’ve just crossed,” Agassi writes. “There is a moment of regret, followed by vast sadness. Then comes a tidal wave of
euphoria that sweeps away every negative thought in my head. I’ve never felt so alive, so hopeful – and I’ve never felt such energy.” “I’m seized by a desperate desire to clean. I go tearing around my house, cleaning it from top to bottom. I dust the furniture. I scour the tub. I make the beds.” Among the most successful – and, without a doubt, one of the most popular – tennis players in history, Agassi drew attention not just for his play, but also for his outfits, his hairstyles and his relationships with women, including a failed marriage to actress Brooke Shields.
A-Rod and Howard add lustre to Series
Official shocked by Noppawan’s Games decision
AP, New York
The Lawn Tennis Association of Thailand (LTAT) expressed its unhappiness over the withdrawal of rising star Noppawan Lertcheewakarn from the national SEA Games team. The LTAT secretary-general Admiral Bunnawit Kengrian said he was disappointed that the former world No 1 junior has quit the team, citing comitments to a personal training in the US. Last week the 18-year-old officially withdrew from the national team for the December Games, saying she has to work on her fitness with American coach Chuck Kriese in Washington. “First it was confirmed that she is going to play in the SEA Games, and all of a sudden she pulls out. This is disappointing because she carries a sports ambassador passport,’’ Bunnawit complained.
yan Howard thought about the World Series and his eyes widened. “Between Yankee Stadium and Philly, it’s going to be, I would have to say, probably one of the rowdiest World Series – just between the fans,” he said. It will be if Howard and Alex Rodriguez start teeing off in their high-profile slugger showdown. For the first time in 20 years, the World Series will feature a pair of former Major League Baseball home run champions when it opens, weather permitting, today. No player in MLB has been scrutinised more than New York Yankees infielder Rodriguez, a play-offs star following a scandalous spring training that included hip sur-

And Howard has carried the defending champions Philadelphia Phillies every bit as much as Rodriguez has propelled the Yankees to their first Series appearance since 2003 – and the first of his career.
“Ryan, along with his power, he’s also become a great hitter,” Rodriguez said on Tuesday. “And that’s bad news for the National League and bad news for us.” The 34-year-old Rodriguez already has succeeded Reggie Jackson as the favourite
Yankees target of wannabe amateur psychologists, who try to analyse past play-off flops and his relationships with Madonna last year and Kate Hudson this season. Now he wants to follow Mr October as a champion. A three-time American League MVP, Rodriguez entered these play-offs hitting .136 since 2004, and hitless in 18 consecutive play-off at-bats with runners in scoring position. What a change. He led the Yankees with a .438 average, five homers and 12 RBIs in the victories over Minnesota and Los Angeles Angels, hitting tying home runs in the seventh, ninth and 11th innings. “I think everyone is looking for a profound answer, and I don’t have one,” he said.

THESPORT England’s Football Association launched an investigation yesterday after Manchester United supporters were accused of causing substantial damage to Barnsley’s stadium by ransacking catering areas during a League Cup match. Police arrested four United fans and four Barnsley fans as the violence marred the visitors’ 2-0 victory on Tuesday in the fourth round. The trouble flared at half-time in Oakwell’s north stand, where about 4,000 United supporters were sitting. Eight catering staff were trapped inside a food kiosk and had to barricade themselves in a store room for about 25 minutes as fans broke in and stole cash and food, police said. Police wearing protective riot clothing were pelted with bottles as they attempted to restore order on the concourse of the stand and police dogs were deployed to drive fans back from the field. South Yorkshire Police said one of its officers had a minor facial injury. English football’s governing body is awaiting reports from referee Chris Foy and an FA crowd control adviser, who was at the match, while it plans to gather evidence from both clubs and the police. “There is no place for anti-social or violent behaviour in our game,” the FA said in a statement. “Any culprit found to be involved in these disturbances and identified as such by either the police or clubs should be subject to a lengthy ban from attending football matches.” Two more people were arrested after the match when fans jumped onto railway tracks in a bid to stop a train from Barnsley to Sheffield before it had started moving. Barnsley, who play in the second-tier League Championship, were scouring through video footage of the incident yesterday. “The club is going to launch a full investigation as soon as possible after substantial damage was caused in the concourse of the north stand,” Barnsley said. “A complaint has been made to the police and we will be taking a look at CCTV footage of the incident.” Goals from Danny Welbeck and Michael Owen guided United into the fifth round despite some spirited resistance from Mark Robins’s Championship side. “A start and a goal, you can’t ask for more than that?” commented Owen.

Agassi tested positive for crystal meth in 1997 but convinced the ATP not to punish him after writing a letter claiming the use was accidental.
