MADRID - A Spanish judge has rejected a prosecutor's request to drop charges of tax fraud against Lionel Messi and ordered the investigation into three cases of suspected unpaid taxes to proceed.

MONTREAL - The Montreal Impact are feeling their losses both on and off the field.

And it doesn't help that they're in a franchise worst slump.

LOS ANGELES, Calif. - The Los Angeles Lakers have waited nearly three months to hire a new coach, and they're apparently making Byron Scott wait a few more days.

Scott said this weekend that he has been hired by the Lakers, but the club insisted Sunday that no deal has been reached.

Scott, who won three NBA titles as a shooting guard for the Lakers, told KCBS-TV he will take over the club, which hasn't had a coach since Mike D'Antoni resigned April 30.

VANCOUVER - It was a draw that felt like a loss for the Vancouver Whitecaps.

Despite blasting a franchise record 30 shots at goal the Whitecaps were forced to settle for a 2-2 draw with FC Dallas in an entertaining Major League Soccer match Sunday afternoon.

"The chances we are creating . . . we need to put the chances away and we need to be sounder (on defence) and not give away goals."

Huot said a TV and home furnishings were also taken.
