Barber charged with misconduct
Former heptathlon world champion Eunice Barber has been charged with "refusal to obey an order" and insulting police officers in an incident last year, French sports daily L'Equipe said yesterday.
Barber became embroiled in an incident last March when police forced her to stop when she was driving near the Stade de France.
The athlete claimed police used "excessive force" when they were attempting to check her identity.
Police said Barber refused to obey an order to stop her car and then became hysterical, biting two officers.
