LONDON -- British Prime Minister David Cameron ruled out a boycott of the 2014 Winter Olympics in Russia, saying Saturday that attending the games is a better way of tackling prejudice against gays. Cameron was responding to a letter from British actor and writer Stephen Fry, who called for the games to be taken away from Sochi, Russia, because of a new Russian law that bans "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations" and imposes fines on those holding gay pride rallies. Fry was among hundreds of people protesting in London on Saturday against that law, which he called "preposterous." The demonstrators waved placards calling for a boycott of Sochi, and banners with the Olympic rings rendered in black. They chanted "Gay Rights for Russia" as they protested across from Downing Street, where Cameron resides. The British prime minister thanked Fry for his note, saying on Twitter that he shares Frys "deep concern about the abuse of gay people in Russia." "I believe we can better challenge prejudice as we attend, rather than boycotting the Winter Olympics," Cameron said. Camerons words echoed remarks made a day earlier by President Barack Obama, who said he was deeply offended by Russias new law cracking down on gay rights activism but does not think it is "appropriate" to boycott the Olympics. While Fry acknowledged Saturday that it was "probably not realistic to call for a move or a boycott," he urged athletes to make symbolic protests at the games, such as crossing their arms over their chests. Such a move would "show they are thinking of the gay people of Russia who are being tormented and brutalized every day," Fry told the BBC. Cheap Grizzlies Jerseys .

MOSCOW -- Russias top rowing official says a champion rower disqualified from the Olympics did not dope intentionally.Former Olympic gold medalist Sergei Fedorovtsev tested positive for the banned substance trimetazidine in May, causing Russias mens quadruple sculls to be disqualified from the Rio de Janeiro Games on Thursday.Russian Rowing Federation president Veniamin But says Fedorovtsevs positive test wasnt an intentional act by him, but an accident, in comments on Friday to Russian agency R-Sport.He did not specify how the banned substance entered Fedorovtsevs system.But adds Russia sees no way to get Fedorovtsev reinstated for the Olympics, but that the three other rowers from his crew could be sent to strengthen other Russian crews for the games.Trimetazidine was found in a urine sample given by Fedorovtsev in an out-of-competition test on May 17. He competed a week later at the final Olympic qualifying regatta in Switzerland, where Russia finished first to qualify for Rio.As Fedorovtsev, who won a gold medal in quadruple sculls at the 2004 Athens Olymmpics, provided a positive doping test, the World Rowing Federation said the results of all competitions in which the rower participated after 17 May 2016 are therefore automatically disqualified.ddddddddddddNew Zealand replaced Russia, after finishing third behind Russia and Canada in the qualifying event.
