US bans Chinese basketball team

The SARS virus is continuing to blight Chinese sport after the country's women's basketball team was banned from entering the US.

Due to health fears over the potential spread of the SARS virus through the US, the Chinese team has been barred from going ahead with its proposed tour.
The Chinese women's basketball national team was to have played four matches against WNBA sides from San Antonio, Houston, Sacramento and Los Angeles.
