Roddick retires while leading

  Associated Press

SHANGHAI -- Andy Roddick was forced to retire with left knee pain while leading Stanislas Wawrinka 4-3 Tuesday in the second round of the Shanghai Masters.

Roddick, who limped into the post-match news conference, quit after wasting a break point.

"I just felt I pushed off, and then Michael [Novotny, ATP trainer] came on court and did some tests and advised that it probably wasn't worth the risk," Roddick said.

Roddick is vying for one of the final three spots at the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals in London next month. But the sixth-ranked Roddick says he's more concerned about taking care of his health than qualifying for the eight-man event.

"At this point, my concern is more along the lines of figuring out what we're dealing with," said Roddick, who has finished the last seven seasons ranked in the top 10.

The 22nd-ranked Wawrinka will play 13th-seeded Radek Stepanek of the Czech Republic in the third round.

"I hope he's going to be fine for the rest of the season," Wawrinka said of Roddick. "For sure, it's not the way you want it to go. But I'll take it and play the next match."

Lleyton Hewitt defeated John Isner of the United States 6-2, 6-4. Hewitt saved both break points he faced.

Hewitt said he's pleased with his progress since hip surgery in August 2008.

"This year was always going to be tough purely because I didn't exactly know how the hip was going to bounce back," Hewitt said. "I've got better as the year has gone on. My hip's got a lot stronger and better, and that makes life a lot easier on the court."

Sixth-seeded Nikolay Davydenko improved his perfect record against Igor Kunitsyn of Russia to 5-0 after a 6-4, 6-2 win. Tenth-seeded Fernando Gonzalez of Chile beat Thomaz Bellucci of Brazil 6-3, 6-4.

Fifteenth-seeded Tommy Haas beat Benjamin Becker 7-6 (5), 6-4 in an all-German match.

In an all-French match, 11th-seeded Gael Monfils defeated Paul-Henri Mathieu 6-2, 6-2.

Report: French looking into Astana

Associated Press

PARIS -- French prosecutors have reportedly launched a preliminary investigation against the Astana cycling team to examine syringes belonging to the squad during this year's Tour de France.

L'Equipe newspaper reported Tuesday on its Web site that prosecutors opened the case after "the discovery of several suspicious syringes in a container given by organizers to all the teams in order to collect the medical waste."

Tour de France winner Alberto Contador and third-place finisher Lance Armstrong rode with Astana on this year's Tour. The Spaniard is still under contract with the Kazakh-funded team, but the Texan left to launch his own squad, RadioShack.

According to L'Equipe, the syringes will be analyzed by a forensic lab called Toxlab, which is responsible for determining their content.

Gilbert Pepin, a doctor at the lab, was not available for comment and did not immediately respond to an e-mail from The Associated Press.

Although there were no positive tests at this year's Tour, authorities did seize drugs that the French anti-doping agency's scientific adviser said raised questions.

The drugs -- which include treatments for diabetes, high blood pressure and convulsions suffered by manic-depressives -- are not banned but are "incongruous" in top-level athletes, said professor Michel Rieu said last week.

Rieu declined to say which teams the substances had been taken from, saying that it was part of a judicial investigation.

Rev. Moon to preside over mass wedding of 40,000

By HYUNG-JIN KIM, Associated Press Writer

59 mins ago

ASAN, South Korea – Nearly a half-century after the Rev. Sun Myung Moon performed his first mass wedding, the 89-year-old leader of the Unification Church is getting ready to marry off tens of thousands of people in spectacles from the United States to South Korea.

The church says Moon will wed or reaffirm the marriages of more than 40,000 people. More than 20,000 will participate Wednesday at Sun Moon University in Asan, south of Seoul, in a ceremony that will be broadcast live at similar events worldwide.

One of the largest "blessing ceremonies" will take place at the Unification Church-owned New Yorker Hotel in Manhattan on Tuesday night, church officials said.

The mass weddings — the church's largest in a decade — come as Moon is moving to hand day-to-day leadership over to three of his 11 children.

The three sons insist their father remains in charge and in good health. Church officials say the massive global ceremony is meant to mark two key anniversaries in the leader's life: his 90th birthday and his 50th wedding anniversary.

Moon, a self-proclaimed Messiah who says he was 15 when Jesus Christ called upon him to carry out his unfinished work, has courted controversy and criticism since founding the Unification Church in Seoul in 1954.

He held his first mass wedding in the early 1960s, arranging the marriages of 24 couples himself and renewing the vows of 12 married couples.

Over the next two decades, the weddings grew in scale and began to involve followers from Japan, Europe, Africa, the U.S. and elsewhere. Several were held at Madison Square Garden in New York, with protesters shouting outside.

"My wish is to completely tear down barriers and to create a world in which everyone becomes one," Moon said in his recent autobiography. He says the blessing ceremonies pairing followers from different backgrounds are part of his vision of building a multicultural religious world.

In recent years, the weddings have been smaller in scale. Still, church officials said this time followers in nearly every U.S. state would take part.

Critics who accuse the church of engaging in cultlike practices say the mass weddings prove it brainwashes its followers. In the past, followers let Moon pick their spouses on the belief that he has divine insight. Many met their mates for the first time at the mass weddings.

These days, prospective partners meet days or weeks before their wedding, church officials say, and couples are matched after careful scrutiny of their photographs, biographies and other personal data.

Participants can also reject Moon's choice of their spouses — but few do, church officials said.

"There is no other faster way than a cross-cultural wedding to reach the ideal of a peaceful world," Moon wrote in "As a Peace-loving Global Citizen." "We must marry people from countries we consider enemies to achieve our goal of a peaceful world as quickly as possible."

The Rev. Moon Hyung-jin, the American-born, Harvard-educated son tapped to head the church's religious affairs, defended his father's vision.

The native New Yorker allowed his father to arrange his own marriage to a South Korean; he was 17 at the time. The father later married three of his grandchildren to followers from Japan, Korea's former colonizer.

"The philosophy behind my father's blessing is that the pain and grief between enemies can only be overcome by love," Moon Hyung-jin told The Associated Press in a recent interview. "If people from Korea and Japan marry with this broad mindset, their children won't see their parents' countries as enemies and instead will come to love both countries."

Man found dead in garbage truck

BILLINGS, Mont. - Montana police say a man who may have been using a large garbage bin as shelter from the cold was apparently crushed when the bin was emptied.

The man's body was found in a city waste truck at 6:30 a.m. Saturday.

Billings police Sgt. Jay Berry says the victim was found "partially in a sleeping bag" and may have been using the garbage bin as shelter.

Yellowstone County Deputy Coroner Chad Fehr says the man died of blunt force injuries to the chest and that his death has been ruled accidental.

Berry says the man's injuries are consistent with the operation of a garbage truck.
