Among those sports that are featured include soccer, track and field, rugby, cycling, Formula 1 racing, tennis, skiing, basketball and golf.
"We are pleased to team up with France Telecom, one of the premier communications companies in the world, to provide the latest sports news, information and merchandise to French sports enthusiasts," said Michael Levy, chairman of Sports.com and chairman, president and CEO of SportsLine USA, Inc. "This alliance will escalate Sports.com's awareness and reach across Europe."
