| Samaranch needs more rest, doctors say Associated Press | |||
LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Juan Antonio Samaranch remains
hospitalized but is getting better.
"His condition is improving but he is still in hospital because
the doctors want him to rest a little bit more," a spokeswoman,
who spoke under the IOC's policy of not being identified, said
Monday.
The former IOC president was taken to a hospital in Lausanne on
July 17, his 81st birthday, shortly after returning from an IOC
meeting in Moscow. The IOC cited "extreme fatigue."
The meeting marked the end of Samaranch's 21-year term as IOC
president. Belgium's Jacques Rogge was elected as his successor,
and Samaranch was appointed IOC honorary life president.
Samaranch was unable to attend Friday's ceremony in Lausanne
when Rogge officially took over as president.
