Names In The News

England int'l HARRY KANE has signed a new contract with Tottenham "that will tie him to the club" until '22. The deal, reportedly worth more than £100,000 ($125,788) a week, "replaces the five-year agreement he signed" in Feb. '15. Kane: "To sign another contract is a special feeling" (BBC, 12/1). ... The Association of National Olympic Committees said that it loaned former IOC member PATRICK HICKEY bail money so that "he can be released from legal custody in Brazil." Hickey was arrested three months ago during the Rio de Janeiro Olympics "on ticket scalping charges." A Brazilian judge two weeks ago set bail at R$1.5M ($430,000). In a statement on Thursday, ANOC said that "the payment was made as a temporary loan" so Hickey can receive medical treatment in Ireland. It added that it must be repaid "in full" (AP, 12/1).
