OLYMPIC NOTES

          The SYDNEY MORNING HERALD reports this morning that
     DaimlerChrysler has "threatened to cut three decades of
     financial support for the Olympics," including its
     involvement in the 2000 Games, because of the current
     scandal.  DaimlerChrysler makes Mercedes cars and has been
     "providing the Olympics with cash and luxury vehicles since
     1964" (S.M. HERALD, 3/10)....The IOC "will examine" News
     Ltd.'s contract with Sydney Games (SOCOG) organizers which
     gives its newspapers "first coverage rights to the Olympic
     torch and ticketing programs" (S.M. HERALD, 3/10).
          EXPULSIONS? In Chicago, Philip Hersh reports that
     expulsion "will be recommended for no more" than two of the
     19 IOC members still under investigation in the Salt Lake
     City scandal.  Both Hersh and AROUND THE RINGS quote sources
     who say that Western Samoan member Seiuli Paul Wallwork will
     be expelled (CHICAGO TRIBUNE, 3/10, AROUND THE RINGS, 3/9).
