BARCELONA ’92 OLYMPICS / DAY 6 : ROYAL TREATMENT, OLYMPIC STYLE

Olympic dope testers play no favorites.

Prince Felipe de Borbon, Olympic yachtsman and 24-year-old heir to the Spanish throne, came in off the water the other day to discover that he had been chosen at random for testing.

With the prince a crewman on a Soling class boat for Spain, the sailing races have become the center of interest for Spain’s royal family.

Queen Sofia has been in town all week with Princesses Cristina and Elena. Although the Spanish team made her the gift of a uniform, the queen takes her sports in the blouse-and-Bermudas ensemble that has become the international standard for well-dressed Olympic watchers.

King Juan Carlos flew in from Madrid Thursday to join the Olympic parade. Aides said the king, who will stay through the weekend, was determined to see as much as possible and would tour venues around the city, cheering on Spanish participants.
