British Prime Minister David Cameron apologized Wednesday to families of the 96 Hillsborough football stadium disaster victims after a probe found police tried to blame fans for the 1989 tragedy.

Cameron told parliament the victims had suffered a "double injustice" from official failings that led to fans being crushed in Britain's worst sporting tragedy and then from police attempts to impugn the dead.

Team Sky rider Mark Cavendish was victorious in a sprint finish on the fourth stage of the Tour of Great Britain in Blackpool on Wednesday, as he claimed the overall leader's gold jersey.

The relatives of 96 soccer fans crushed to death in Britain's worst sports disaster were finally granted access Wednesday to secret documents they have long believed will prove how mistakes by British police and others compounded the 1989 tragedy.

Argentina stayed atop South America's World Cup qualifying standings with a 1-1 draw against Peru on Tuesday, salvaging a point from a match the Gauchos deserved to lose.

Eschewing delirious crowds at the airport, Olympic sprinting champion Usain Bolt returned to Jamaica in uncharacteristically low-key style.

Lebanon stunned Iran 1-0 in a World Cup qualifier Tuesday to keep alive its hopes of reaching the tournament in Brazil.

Lebanon came out attacking early and went ahead when captain Roda Antar, returning from a knee injury that kept him out for three games, met a free kick from Mohammad Haidar and headed home from close range. That appeared to wake up the Iranians, who pressed forward for the rest of the half.

It took Andy Murray only six minutes shy of five hours to win the U.S. Open final on Monday night, yet that was only a blink of an eye compared with the 76 years Britain had waited to have a men's champion in a grand slam event.

The 25-year-old Scotsman beat defending champion Novak Djokovic 7-6 (10), 7-5, 2-6, 3-6, 6-2 to end not only Britain's barren run but his own, having previously lost all four grand slam finals he had played.
