TRACK AND FIELD

Sprinter Montgomery admits to doping

Disgraced former world record holder Tim Montgomery said he took testosterone and human growth hormone before the Sydney Olympics, and does not deserve the gold medal he won in the 400-meter relay.

The admission was made during an interview scheduled to air Tuesday night on HBO's "Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel."

"I have a gold medal that I'm sitting on that I didn't get with my own ability," Montgomery said in the interview. "I'm not here to take away from anybody else's accomplishments, only my own. And I must say, I apologize to the other people that was on the relay team if that was to happen."

Montgomery never tested positive for drugs, but he was banned from track for two years and his world record in the 100 was erased after he was linked to the BALCO investigation. He retired after the ban was imposed in 2005.

He did not say in the interview when or how often he had taken testosterone, just that he had done so before Sydney. He also said he took HGH four times a month.

Armour III claims title in Pebble Beach Invite

Defending champion Tommy Armour III made a 36-foot birdie putt on the first hole of a three-way playoff Sunday with Scott Simpson and Brock MacKenzie to win the Callaway Golf Pebble Beach Invitational in Pebble Beach, Calif.

The 49-year-old Armour began the day with a five-stroke lead over Rich Beem. But Armour finished regulation with a 4-over 76 in a round that included four bogeys, a double bogey and two birdies.

Simpson shot 70 and MacKenzie 67 to tie Armour at 10-under 278 and force a playoff in the annual event, which features players from the four major tours.

HORSE RACING

Trainer Asmussen sets mark for wins in a year

Steve Asmussen broke his own record for most wins in a year when Prophesy won the first race at Remington Park in Oklahoma City, giving the trainer victory No. 556.

Asmussen, who trains reigning Horse of the Year Curlin, set the record of 555 wins in 2004.

On Saturday, he equaled the mark with two winners, and he topped the record after Prophesy, a 3-year-old gray filly, won by a half-length as the even-money favorite.
