Ten Australian athletes have been fined and given a good behaviour bond after they were charged with falsifying a document in order to attend the Boomers basketball semifinal defeat by Serbia.The charges, punishable with a jail term under Brazilian law, would not have gone before the courts for at least three weeks so Australian Olympic Commission officials moved to have expedited hearings that resulted in each athlete being given a two-year good behaviour bond and a 10,000 real fine.The court has retained the athletes passports pending payment of the fines, at which time the documents will be returned and the athletes will be free to leave Brazil. No criminal conviction has been recorded and all records of the proceeding will be expunged after two years.Ten athletes -- namely cyclists Matthew Glaetzer, Ashlee Ankudinoff and Melissa Hoskins, rugby player Ed Jenkins, archers Alec Potts and Ryan Tyack, and rowers Olympia Aldersey, Fiona Albert and Lucy Stephan -- were sent to the Venue Operations office at Carioca Arena 1 because of concerns their accreditation had been tampered with allowing them to access the venue. Glaetzer was not charged but detained as a witness, and he was not required to provide a statement to police.The group was subsequently moved to the Olympic Park police station, where the athletes were joined by Deputy Chef de Mission Fiona de Jong and Brazilian lawyers representing the AOC, and then later again they were moved to the State Major Events Court.De Jong and the lawyers explained to a prosecutor and a judge that the athletes were supporting their teammates, they were not attempting to defraud anyone, no-one had suffered a material loss and no-one was harmed as a result of the incident, the AOC said in a statement.De Jong said: The welfare of the athletes is our primary concern and the AOC will continue to provide whatever support is necessary to the athletes and their families. The AOC has launched an internal investigation as to who was responsible for not adhering to the accreditation rules.The Australian athletes walked out of the court complex just across the road from Olympic Park more than 10 hours after the start of the basketball match. The athletes looked tired and emotional as they filed out about 5.20am local time.A mistake was made this evening and athletes accessed the Olympic venue without the correct accreditation, de Jong said after the athletes were released.We have apologised for that mistake at a state special events court.We have agreed to an outcome which is the payment of a fine and a good behaviour bond for each of the athletes.The athletes were permitted entry to the stadium -- which was nowhere near capacity -- but were not sitting in the section allocated to them.

BRATISLAVA, Slovakia -- Before the Special One, there was the First One.His name is Jozef Venglos, and in 1990 he became the first outsider to take over as manager of a first division club in England.It was the hardest job of his illustrious career. But now 80 years old and looking back, Venglos was all smiles and appreciative of his time as manager of Aston Villa during an interview with The Associated Press at his house in Bratislava.You have to have a joy from football, even as manager, Venglos said. Theres a specific feature of English football, that its inspirational in all aspects: for the managers, players and of course, fans.This season, there are 14 foreign managers in the Premier League, from Jose Mourinho at Manchester United to Juergen Klopp at Liverpool, Pep Guardiola at Manchester City and Antonio Conte at Chelsea. Of course, Arsene Wenger is also still there at Arsenal after 20 years.Only four clubs in the league have a manager who is from England, Bournemouth, Burnley, Crystal Palace and Hull. Additionally, Stoke is led by a Welshman while a Scotsman is in charge of Sunderland.---CAREERVenglos was a respected, experienced coach when he arrived in Birmingham, but was not a household name in Britain.It was a surprise to me, Venglos said. But also an appreciation of what I had done. It was a well-managed and controlled club.When Venglos was introduced as the manager, the media at the news conference remained silent when they were asked: Hands up, those of you who know this man.Prior to his job at Aston Villa, Venglos biggest successes came in international football. He was an assistant coach to Vaclav Jezek when Czechoslovakia won the European Championship in 1976; four years later, he was in charge alone as he led his national team to third place at Euro 1980. At the 1990 World Cup, he reached the quarterfinals.After his spell in England, Venglos moved to Fenerbahce and later to Celtic. In his career, the coach with a degree in physical education and known as Dr. Jo, or the Doctor, also led the national teams of Australia, Malaysia, Oman and Slovakia.In 1995, he became the president of the European Coaches Union and led European and World select teams on several occasions.In his homeland, he was named the coach of the 20th century.---ASTOON VILLAComing from behind the Iron Curtain just a year after it collapsed, Venglos appointment by Villa chairman Doug Ellis looked like a revolution.ddddddddddddTaking over from Graham Taylor, Venglos was ready and eager to direct the team from the traditional English physical style and apply new methods, starting with a more passing approach, pre-match warm-ups and new diets.Venglos had playmaker David Platt, but many in his squad didnt seem ready to adopt the changes he was making. And with expectations high and the media critical, the coach himself had a hard time adapting.No bitter memories, though.The players were true professionals, Venglos said. I would say there was a mutual respect between us and that kept us moving forward. I think we understood each other. And thats important that the team follows the coach, respects him, and the results follow. The results are key, in any country.At times, it worked, namely in a 2-0 victory at Villa Park over Inter Milan in the UEFA Cup.But victories were not as frequent as anyone wished. Villa ended the season in 17th place, a significant drop from the second-place finish the previous season.Venglos developed high blood pressure during the season and continued to face criticism from the media, finally resigning despite an offer from Ellis to continue. Ron Atkinson replaced him.I learned a lot, said Venglos, who still follows the results of the team. I watch Aston Villa. I feel joy when things go well for the club.---ALEX FERGUSONVenglos said he still remains in touch with other coaches and calls them from time to time. But when it comes to who he admired most, he didnt hesitate to answer: Alex Ferguson.Hes a complex person, Venglos said. He was able to get close even to the best players. He knew how to win support from the fans and the club and brought a new passion to football.Venglos said he would never forget Fergusons gesture when his Aston Villa played Manchester United for the first time.Alex Ferguson came to welcome me and said: `If you need anything, dont hesitate to call me, Im happy to help, Venglos said. It was a sign of real professionalism and attitude to football. ' ' '
