The National Olympic Committee called on the 14 million members of its 89 federated bodies to vote for conservative President Jacques Chirac against the anti-immigrant National Front chief, citing the "humanist values" of the world of sport. "Because sport is a school for life, because sports clubs are places of welcome and fraternity...the board members...call for a vote on May 5 for Jacques Chirac," the committee said in a statement which a spokesman said was unprecedented. Le Pen courted controversy when he scoffed at the success of a multi ethnic French soccer team that was hailed as an example of racial harmony when it won the World Cup four years ago. 2002-04-30 Activities: [2002 French Elections] [1998 Soccer World Cup] World Cup Brings Glory for France SAINT-DENIS, France - The cup itself is a piece of 18-carat gold that resembles an oversized ice cream cone.
