Schumacher wins controversial race\nSPIELBERG, Austria -- Michael Schumacher won the Austrian Grand Prix on Sunday when Ferrari teammate Rubens Barrichello let him pass just before the checkered flag.\nBarrichello, who had led from the start, received orders from his team to let Schumacher win.\n"It was probably the wrong decision to do it this way; I am not very happy," said Schumacher, who is trying to win a record-tying fifth Formula One title.\nJuan Pablo Montoya finished third, just ahead of BMW-Williams teammate Ralf Schumacher, the younger brother of Michael.\nThe bizarre ending gave Michael Schumacher his first Austrian GP, the only Grand Prix race he had not won.\nTrinidad wins boxing match\nSAN JUAN, Puerto Rico -- Felix Trinidad moved a step closer to a middleweight title fight Saturday night, stopping French journeyman Hacine Cherifi in the fourth round.\nTrinidad landed a right to the face that sent Cherifi to the canvas in the fourth. Cherifi got up, but Trinidad ended the fight by flooring Cherifi again with a right and a left hook to the jaw.\nTrinidad, fighting for the first time since losing to Bernard Hopkins in September in a bid to unify the middleweight titles, improved to 40-1 with his 34th knockout.\n"I want Hopkins!" the 29-year-old Trinidad said. "I will chop his neck. Tito Trinidad is back."\nTrinidad out-boxed Cherifi (32-6-1) from the opening bell to the delight of his home fans at Roberto Clemente Colisseum, knocking him down in the third with a right hook to the face.
