		The 10th World Juniors in Italy will be the largest ever with 181 countries and 1429 competitors, not surprising with their return to Europe after six years.
		In 2001 at the IAAF World Youth Championships, Robinson placed fifth, but a year later at the World Juniors in Kingston he threw only 63.97m, going into the event with a best of 69.45m.
		World Youth discus champion in 2003, Ronnie Buckley, although only ranked eight, is within a few metres of the top-3 and looks a good hope to at least place in the top-6.

	Jamaica Gleaner - IAAF blocks Bolt's record - Friday \| October 3, 2003
		JAMAICAN USAIN Bolt's sizzling run at this year's Junior Pan American track and field championship in Barbados is not being recognised as a world junior record because the track was not officially certified.
		The IAAF also refused to ratify American Alyson Felix's 22.11 world junior record victory at the Mexico Grand Prix in May, because the meet organisers were not prepared to do drug testing.
		He still has two more years as a junior and unless he breaks a leg or something he is going to break that record several times again, but it is unfortunate that the athlete is penalised when the local organisation does not do what it is supposed to do," Francis said.

	Budd in emotional return to spotlight \| Athletics \| Other Sports \| Sport \| Telegraph
		After all, it was a long time ago when, as Zola Budd, the then 17-year-old became the world's most infamous athlete as she was whisked from her native South Africa and granted a British passport in double-quick time.
		In a public act of reconciliation that took the 600 guests by surprise, Diack welcomed Budd into the heart of the athletics family by recalling events of 20 years ago, when they were on opposite sides of the sporting and political chasm created by the apartheid regime in South Africa.
		Then, as the head of the African confederation and a senior vice-chairman of the IAAF, Diack, from Senegal, had refused to present Budd with her gold medal for winning the second of her two World Cross Country titles, when the championships were staged in Neuchatel, Switzerland.

	No way Gatlin will avoid life ban if guilty, says IAAF official
		IAAF general secretary Pierre Weiss, speaking on the sidelines of a news conference to open the world junior championships, said any work American Gatlin's lawyers did to prove there were special circumstances would be in vain.
		Gatlin appealed against his first positive test, for amphetamine at the US junior championships in 2001, saying the drug was contained in a prescription medicine he had taken for 10 years to counter a form of attention deficit disorder.
		IAAF president Lamine Diack said yesterday that the rules under which Gatlin's first ban was appealed no longer stood and reiterated his disappointment that such a high profile athlete had tested positive.
