Cuba baseball permit ban shocks US Olympic bid risks
Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association urged reversal of a Treasury OFAC permit ban blocking Cuba from sending a team. Officials warn the decision could scupper the United States bid for an Olympic Games, while Cuban citizens decry the move as politics over sport. Rep. Diaz-Balart called for denial to stand, citing free Cuban players available in the majors and minors. Puerto Rico officials seek bipartisan help to overturn the ruling. In 1999 Cuba played an exhibition in Baltimore under Clinton policy.
