USA Boxing's judicial committee will have 48 hours following a Thursday hearing to decide if boxer Luis Yanez can return to the Olympic team, his attorney Domingo Garcia said Monday. The hearing, in which Yanez will appeal his removal from the team, is scheduled for 2 p.m. and will be held via teleconference. Yanez had been the team's captain, but he was removed from the squad in late June when he arrived for training three weeks after its June 8 report date. The boxer and his representatives will tell the committee that a family emergency obligated Yanez to miss the three weeks of training in Colorado Springs. Yanez has said he was tending to his 23-year-old sister, a single mother who was in drug rehab, and her four children.

AWOL for 3 weeks? Is he telling us his junkie sister used up all the minutes on the prepaid phone when she was trying to score some H? Was that before or after the dog ate his homework? If your sister needs you so much, maybe you shouldn't go the China.
