Italian police have raided the hotel where two of the world’s leading sprinters are staying as doping scandals threaten to engulf the sport-- the Jamaican runners Asafa Powell and Sherone Simpson, both tested positive for a banned substance on Sunday. In a separate development, the American sprinter Tyson Gay, who’s also tested positive for doping, has temporarily lost his sponsorship deal with Adidas as Alex Capstick reports.

The German sportswear firm said it was shocked at revelations of Tyson Gay’s positive test. It said any of its athletes found guilty of doping would have their contracts terminated. The American, one of the fastest men in history, insisted he had never knowingly cheated. Asafa Powell, another high-profile sprinter, gave a similar explanation following his failed test. He’s been training with a group of Jamaicans in Italy. Police have seized several substances in the hotel where he’s been staying.

Israel has criticised as totally unacceptable Poland’s decision to ban the ritual slaughter of animals according to Jewish and Muslim law. Israel’s foreign ministry said the ban was at odds with Poland’s claims to be an open and modern society. And Poland’s chief rabbi Michael Schudrich said he would resign unless a solution were found.

A row has broken out in France over the revelation of the image on a new postage stamp is modelled on the leader of the feminist movement Femen, which specialises in topless protests. The artist who designed the stamp said he was inspired to use the Ukrainian activist Inna Shevchenko as the latest incarnation of the stamp depicting the mythical French revolutionary icon Marianne. Hugh Schofield reports.

法国一枚新邮票印上以无上装抗议知名的女权运动费曼领袖的头像，这引发一场争论。设计这枚邮票的艺术家称突发奇想，想用乌克兰活动人士舍夫琴科作为法国神秘的革命领袖玛丽安的化身。休·斯科菲尔德报道。

The artist Oliver Ciappa said that he chose Ms Shevchenko because the original Marianne, had she really existed, would certainly have been a member of Femen, demonstrating topless for the revolution. The model herself, who recently was granted political asylum in France, told Twitter followers that she was delighted. Now all homophobes and fascists would be forced to lick her derriere, she said, using a more vulgar term, whenever they send a letter. But conservatives say that they are astonished that the person they see as an angry, Ukrainian provocateur should become the official symbol of France.

艺术家Oliver Ciappa称之所以选择舍夫琴科，是因为如果玛丽安真实存在，那么她肯定会成为费曼的成员，为革命进行无上装的游行。而模特本人最近在法国得到政治避难，她在Twitter上告诉粉丝自己很高兴。她说，现在所有的恐同性恋者和法西斯者只要想寄信，都要被迫舔她的臀部了，她用了一个下流的词。但保守人士称，这个被他们看来是愤怒的乌克兰挑衅者竟然成为法国官方的符号，这令他们震惊。
