HIP CHECKED: USOC NOT SATISFIED, WANTS TEAM USA APOLOGY

          USOC Exec Dir Dick Schultz said the recent statement of
     apology and $3,000 check from Team USA hockey Captain Chris
     Chelios was a "wonderful gesture," but it will not end the
     USOC's investigation into the matter, reports Bill Brubaker
     of the WASHINGTON POST.  Schultz suggested that the guilty
     players step forward and accept responsibility, and that the
     entire 23-member team make a "strong" apology in a newspaper
     ad addressed to the American people.  Schultz: "There needs
     to be something a little more personal. ... I guess I'd like
     to see them maybe take out an ad in The Washington Post or
     USA Today and maybe the New York Times where they really
     apologize to the American public."  Schultz said the USOC
     has not ruled out "any option," including banning all 23
     players from future international competition (POST, 3/17).
