Olympics chief jailed for bribery

International Olympic Committee Vice President Kim Un-yong was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison on embezzlement and bribery charges in Seoul today in a ruling that will probably end his long, powerful career at the IOC.

Kim, 73, says he will appeal the ruling by a Seoul district criminal court. But he now faces the likelihood of becoming the highest-ranking IOC member to be expelled. He narrowly escaped expulsion after the Salt Lake City bid scandal five years ago.
