GLASGOW, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Dutchman Harrie Lavreysen maintained his stranglehold on track cycling's sprint discipline as he made it five world titles in succession in the individual event on Monday. Having powered the Dutch to team sprint gold earlier in the meet and, with the keirin to come on Tuesday, he could leave Glasgow having matched the record 14 world titles of French sprint king Arnaud Tournant. Host nation Britain also enjoyed another impressive day at the Chris Hoy Velodrome to top the medals table. He has won five sprint titles in a row, five of the last six in team sprint and three of the last three in keirin. "My legs are still screaming," Barker said after adding the madison to the team pursuit gold she won last week.

In an order made public on Friday, U.S. District Judge Laura Taylor Swain in Manhattan federal court denied Tournant's motion to dismiss the five-count indictment, which also includes an obstruction charge. Tournant said dismissing the indictment was justified because prosecutors' "intrusion" into his attorney-client relationship had been "manifestly and avowedly corrupt." Two other former portfolio managers have pleaded guilty in the case and agreed to cooperate with prosecutors. The case is U.S. v. Tournant, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. Reporting by Jonathan Stempel in New York; Editing by Marguerita ChoyOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.

In his brief, Mr. Tournant excerpted a slide containing photos of himself and two other former Allianz executives, which his lawyers likened to a most-wanted poster. Mr. Tournant was also represented by a third firm that wasn’t jointly retained by Allianz, according to his motion. The firms’ agreements required them to inform Mr. Tournant in the event that a conflict of interest arose, according to his motion. Allianz’s posture toward Mr. Tournant changed after Mr. Bond-Nelson broke ties with the firm’s defense team and began shifting blame to Mr. Tournant, according to his brief. The pivot was a direct result of the policies outlined in recent years by officials such as Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco, according to Mr. Tournant.
