Latest from the web: "Part of the appeal of sports is that, in contrast to the broader world's many ambiguities, the mores in sports can seem pretty cut and dried. But there isn't a consensus on how sports figures should be treated when they're accused of crimes.

HBO will use Jim Lampley on its boxing Saturday, the announcer's first HBO appearance since being arrested Jan. 3 on suspicion of domestic violence and violating a restraining order. That order barred him from being within 100 yards of Candice Sanders, 29, who accused Lampley, 57, of shoving her on New Year's Eve. The two were once romantically linked. Lampley, who's had a record 13 Olympic TV assignments, is yet to be formally charged.

Tuesday, HBO had no comment. Howard Bragman, Lampley's publicist, said Lampley is "looking forward" to the appearance: "That's what he does. He doesn't fight; he covers fights."

It's surprising, given the alleged conduct, that HBO parent Time Warner will allow Lampley to continue as a visible corporate face. The innocent-until-proven-guilty maxim is part of the American psyche, but it's hard to imagine Time Warner opening itself up to criticism by standing by Lampley if he's found guilty. Because such criticism would be well-deserved."
