Schumacher misses International Sportsman of the Year party

MICHAEL SCHUMACHER did not turn up yesterday evening at the Variety Club's annual awards dinner in London at which he was due to be given an award as International Sportsman of the Year. This was probably a wise move given the outcry after the Austrian GP in which F1 sportsmanship in general was called into question after Rubens Barrichello was ordered to let Michael Schumacher win the race.
