Seven Russian bobsleigh and skeleton athletes cleared for World Cup, but not Olympics

Seven Russian bobsledders and skeleton competitors, who were banned for life by the International Olympic Committee after being implicated in their country's state-backed doping scandal, were Thursday cleared to return to the World Cup but not the Winter Olympics.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said it does not have "the jurisdiction" to rule on an appeal by the International Bobsleigh and Skeleton Federation (IBSF) who sought their own provisional suspension on each of the seven athletes.
In November last year, seven Russians, including Alexander Tretiakov, a gold medallist at the 2014 Olympics and skeleton bronze medallist Elena Nikitina, were disqualified from the Sochi Games.
The IBSF banned the athletes before the organisation's own doping panel lifted the provisional suspensions at the start of December.
IBSF officials then lodged a case at CAS to have the bans reimposed, an approach which was rebuffed on Thursday.
The seven can now take part in the World Cup but are still banned from the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang next month.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations. It includes the dress worn by supermodel Naomi Campbell, his longtime friend and muse, when she led
