St. Kitts sprinter Collins sent home from Olympics

LONDON (AP) — Former 100-meter world champion Kim Collins was sent home from the London Olympics for disciplinary reasons on Saturday.

The St. Kitts and Nevis team said it "regrettably announced" that Collins, who it described as a "national hero," was leaving the Olympics.

Collins was kept out of his scheduled start in the 100 heats on Saturday. He was also entered in the 200 and 4x100 relay.
