SALT LAKE CITY -- Canada won its first men's hockey Olympic gold medal in 50 years with a 5-2 victory over the United States just hours before the curtain closed on the 2002 Winter Olympic Games.

Tony Amonte scored the game's first goal, beating Martin Brodeur to give the United States a 1-0 lead.

But Canada stormed back when Paul Kariya scored to put the his team on the board. Then, with just under a minute and a-half left in the first period, Joe Sakic fired a pass from the left corner to Jerome Iginla who was streaking to the right post. Iginla stuffed it in for the tie-breaking goal.

Canada dominated much of the second period but failed to take advantage of a two-man advantage when Mario Lemieux missed a wide-open net. Brian Rafalski later scored for the United States to tie the score at 2-2, but Canada took a 3-2 on a Sakic wrist shot.

Canada put the game on ice when Iginla and Sakic scored in the third period.

Muehlegg, Lazutina Test Positive, Stripped Of Golds

Olympic officials, vowing to stay a step ahead of drugged athletes, threw two multi-medalist skiers out of the games Sunday and stripped them of a gold medal apiece for using a substance not yet on the banned list.

Cross-country skiers Larissa Lazutina of Russia and Johann Muehlegg of Spain forfeited their most recent medals after testing positive for a performance-enhancing drug intended to help kidney patients avoid anemia.

A third cross-country skier, Olga Danilova of Russia, also tested positive for the same drug, darbepoetin, which boosts the production of red blood cells that carry oxygen to muscles.

All three athletes were tossed out of the Winter Olympics on the final day of competition.

Arne Ljunqqvist, chairman of the International Olympic Committee's medical commission, said the disqualifications were a warning to athletes who think they can get away with using new drugs.

Lazutina, who tied an Olympic record Sunday with her 10th medal by winning the women's 30-kilometer classical race, was forced to give up that victory. But she will be allowed to keep two medals she won earlier -- silvers in the 15K freestyle and the 10K combined event.

Muehlegg, who had won three gold medals at these games, was ordered to return the one from Saturday's 50K classical race. But he gets to keep his golds in the 30K freestyle and the 10K pursuit events.

Danilova, who earlier won a gold and a silver, was disqualified from the 30K classical race in which she finished eighth.

Olympic Unrest Spreads To Streets

The unrest at the Olympics is spreading outside the games themselves. Police in riot gear ended up using foam-tipped bullets to break up an unruly crowd Sunday morning outside Bud World, a beer garden in downtown Salt Lake City. More than 20 people were arrested.

The event had become too crowded, and people spilled out into the streets.

The pavilion is just blocks from the Olympic medals plaza.

The crowd got unruly -- so about 75 to 100 helmeted officers were brought in.

Police used foam-tipped bullets to scatter everyone.

The assistant police chief said some people threw beer cans and bottles, and became "really rambunctious" when they couldn't get in the pavilion.

No serious injuries are reported.

Hamill Suffers Minor Injury

American gold medal figure skater Dorothy Hamill will be nursing a sore chin when she skates in tonight's Olympic closing ceremony.

Hamill fell and hit her chin and throat on a stage light during a practice last night. She was skating into an artificial fog bank at the time.

The 1976 gold medalist was checked out at the University of Utah hopsital and pronounced OK. She even went to a party afterward.
