Italy Remembering Rome 1960
FILE - In this April 5, 1959 file photo, a general view of the "Sports Palace" near Rome's World Exposition grounds showing the state of construction after little more than six month's work. This building will accommodate about 16,000 spectators, and is destined for the boxing and basketball competitions during the Olympic Summer Games in Rome for 1960. They were the Summer Games that ushered in the Olympics as we know them today. Starting 50 years ago on Wednesday, Rome hosted the first Summer Olympics to be commercially broadcast. They were the first games with a major doping scandal, as Danish cyclist Knud Enemark Jensen collapsed during his race under the influence of Roniacol and died the same day. (AP Photo/File)
