Charlotte forward Chris Terry scored twice to help propel the Western Conference to an 8-7 shootout win against the Eastern Conference in the American Hockey League All-Star Game in Atlantic City, N.J., on Monday night

Terry, the Checkers' sole representative on the team, scored in the first and second periods, then earned an assist in the third to lead the West in scoring with three points.

His assist came on a goal by Chicago Wolves defenseman Kevin Connauton to tie the score at 7 with 4 minutes, 7 seconds left in regulation.

The NHL's Carolina Hurricanes recalled forward Riley Nash from the Checkers. It's the second career NHL recall for Nash, 22, who had one assist in two games for the Hurricanes in December.

Olympics

German athletes implicated: Germany's national anti-doping agency will investigate 28 athletes to see whether they received blood transfusions from a doctor at the center of a doping scandal.

NADA said it will review the court documents from an ongoing case against Dr. Andreas Franke, who worked at a training center run by the German Olympic Sports Confederation for top-level athletes in Erfurt, central Germany.

Franke is suspected of treating athletes' blood with UV light before re-injecting it into the same athlete, a procedure banned by the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Public broadcaster ARD said Sunday it had a list of the 28 names implicated in the scandal, including former Olympic speedskating champion Claudia Pechstein, former 800-me-

ter Olympic champion Nils Schumann, rising German cycling star Marcel Kittel and Jamaican long jumper James Beckford.

Soccer

Women's league out: Women's Professional Soccer won't play the 2012 season amid a legal dispute with an ousted owner.

In October, the league's board of governors terminated its South Florida franchise after clashing with owner Dan Borislow all season. A Florida judge ruled this month that the league failed to follow its own dispute procedures when it terminated the franchise, and another court hearing is set for Wednesday.

Scotland striker Kris Boyd, the Scottish Premier League's all-time leading scorer, is joining Major League Soccer's Portland Timbers.

Boyd, 28, scored 164 goals in a total of 296 appearances in the SPL with Kilmarnock and Rangers. He was the league's top scorer for four seasons.

A coroner ruled Wales manager Gary Speed might have killed himself accidentally. In an inquest at Warrington (England) Coroner's Court, coroner Nicholas Rheinberg said Speed died of hanging but there was insufficient evidence to prove he committed suicide. Speed's body was found by his wife Nov. 27 at their home.
