MANHATTAN, Kan. — Kansas State All-American freshman Michael Beasley announced that he will skip his final three seasons to enter the June 26 NBA draft, where he could be the No. 1 overall pick.

Fellow freshman Bill Walker also announced that he was making himself eligible for the draft, but he won’t sign with an agent. That means that Walker, who averaged 16.1 points and 6.3 rebounds, can remove his name prior to the draft and be eligible to return to Kansas State for his sophomore year.

Beasley dominated his lone college season, averaging 26.2 points and becoming just the third freshman in NCAA history to lead the nation in rebounds at 12.4 per game. He had the second-most rebounds and third-most points by a freshman in NCAA history, helping Kansas State to its first NCAA tournament victory in 20 years.

Anthony arrested on suspicion of drunken driving

DENVER — NBA All-Star Carmelo Anthony was arrested early Monday on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol, hours after his worst game of the season.

The Denver Nuggets forward was arrested on Interstate 25, police said. He was alone in the car and pulled over for weaving and not dimming his lights.

Detective Sharon Hahn said Anthony failed a series of sobriety tests. He was charged with DUI, then taken to police headquarters before being released to a “sober responsible party,” Hahn said. Anthony is due in court May 14.

Mark Warkentien, the Nuggets’ vice president of basketball operations, said the team was aware of the situation but declined comment. The Nuggets did not practice Monday and Anthony wasn’t available. He’s expected at practice today.

Allegations against Maurice Jones are dismissed by IAAF

BRUSSELS, Belgium — Track and field’s world governing body dismissed doping allegations against former Olympic sprint champion Maurice Greene, throwing its support behind the man who once held the 100-meter world record.

Greene also denied the accusations, which were made by a witness in a U.S. government investigation into sports doping and reported this past weekend in the New York Times.

“None of this is new,” International Association of Athletics Federations spokesman Nick Davies told The Associated Press. “There is no reason to take action against Maurice.”

Davies said the IAAF would continue to use Greene as one of its goodwill ambassadors to promote the sport in the run-up to the Beijing Olympics.

Former NFLcenter Nutter dies

LA PLATA, Md. — Buzz Nutter, the center for John Unitas on NFL championship teams with the Baltimore Colts in 1958 and 1959, has died.

He was 77.

He died Saturday of heart failure at Civista Medical Center, the Raymond Funeral Home in La Plata said.

Nutter was a 12th-round draft choice of the Washington Redskins in 1953 but failed to make the team. A year later, the Colts signed him. After being traded in 1961 to the Pittsburgh Steelers, he returned to Baltimore in 1965 for his final season.

Investigation against Ullrich dropped by prosecutors

BONN, Germany — German prosecutors dropped a fraud investigation against former Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich in return for a fine.

The deal ends a 21-month investigation into whether the retired rider defrauded his T-Mobile team by taking performance-enhancing drugs, thus increasing his income by illegal means.

Ullrich maintained his innocence, saying he accepted the deal to “free my family from the public pressure” and to save money.

Braves great Holmes dies

BOCA RATON, Fla. — Tommy Holmes, who hit in 37 consecutive games in 1945 to set a modern National League record that stood until it was broken by Pete Rose, died Monday. He was 91.

Holmes died of natural causes at an assisted living facility, daughter Patricia Stone said.

Holmes’ hitting streak came while he played for the Boston Braves and is the ninth longest in major league history. Rose hit in 44 in a row in 1978, the post-1900 NL mark.
