ETC. NO EVIDENCE OF DRUGS, ALCOHOL FOUND IN KULWICKI CRASH VICTIMS

No drugs or alcohol were found in the bodies of NASCAR champion Alan Kulwicki and three others who died in a plane crash in Blountville, Tenn., Sullivan County Sheriff Keith Carr said. Carr said Dr. William McCormick, medical examiner, told him there was no evidence of drugs or alcohol. Federal investigators have recovered the engines and propellers of the Fairchild Merlin 300 twin-engine plane and still are investigating the cause of the crash.

The International Boxing Federation announced a pension plan for its fighters, a move officials said is designed to erase the image of down-and-out former boxers. The IBF plan requires all champions and challengers in title fights to contribute 2 percent of each purse to the pension plan, up to a maximum of $30,000 annually.
