Skier Lindsey Vonn remained hospitalized in Colorado with “severe intestinal pain” that has been affecting the four-time World Cup champion for the past two weeks. Vonn’s ski technician, Heinz Haemmerle, said that Vonn hasn’t trained since going out in the second run of the season-opening giant slalom Oct. 27 in Soelden, Austria. “She told me she feels bad and has pain all over her body and that her bones are hurting. … She’s been [to the hospital] two or three times. This is the first time she’s stayed overnight,” Haemmerle said in a telephone interview.

University of Iowa President Sally Mason said she is reviewing the school’s handling of an athletic department official who resigned after being accused of improperly touching student athletes for years. Peter Gray, 59, resigned last week after working for the last decade at the athletic department, where he was in charge of monitoring the academic progress of student-athletes. An internal report, obtained by the Iowa City Press-Citizen, concluded that Gray violated the university’s sexual harassment policy by rubbing, massaging shoulders and hugging students and athletes — behavior that allegedly took place since 2002 and also marked an earlier employment stint at Iowa from 1993 to 1995.
