Abstract

Canada's judicial enquiry into drug use in amateur sports continued with Ben Johnson's coach describing in detail how the disgraced sprinter took steroids and other drugs before the Seoul Olympics. In London, delegates from over 150 countries meet at a conference to express their concerns over the thinning of the ozone layer through the use of certain chemicals. The arrest of a suspected drug dealer in the U.S. Virgin Islands has caused a sensation in Washington where its black Mayor is being investigated. In Martinque, the people took to the streets to protest the coming of the single market in Europe in 1992. The report ended with Montserrat's Chief Minister who is in London to seek finances for infrastructure development including a deepwater harbor and an airport for the island.
