WILL THIS SWISS MISS HER DEALS? FOURTH CO. DUMPS SCHNYDER

          In response to 20-year-old Swiss tennis player Patty
     Schnyder's relationship with "mysterious 42-year-old German
     guru" Rainer Harnecker and her "increasingly strange
     behaviour," another of her sponsors, Triumph Sportswear,
     "decided to drop her contract, valued at" US$47,063,
     according to Steve Keating of the Toronto GLOBE & MAIL. 
     Triumph became the fourth of Schnyder's seven companies to
     drop her as an endorser, joining Crossair, AMAG and Asetra
     (See THE DAILY, 4/16).  But "no matter what the cost of the
     lost sponsorships," which is about US$336,192, Schnyder is
     "determined to stand by her man."  Schnyder's manager Tons
     Haltermann, on the lost deals: "I have to say I saw it
     coming due to the conversations I had with sponsors.  The
     negative publicity of her and her boyfriend was just too
     much for sponsors" (Toronto GLOBE & MAIL, 4/21).
