3 Cuban Athletes Defect at Pan Am Games
Only three?
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic - Three Cuban athletes have defected to the Dominican Republic, where they were competing in the Pan American Games, an official said Tuesday. The defections occurred during the international competition, which started Aug. 1 and ended Sunday, said Gen. Fernando Cruz, director of the Dominican intelligence agency. Cruz refused to give further details on the defections.
Cubs could use a quality short reliever. And a third baseman, but the Cubs always need a third baseman.
Defections by Cuban athletes are as common as robins in springtime not rare. Two Cuban gymnasts participating in the World Championships defected Tuesday in Anaheim, Calif.
