(AP) — A story that Notre Dame football star Manti Te'o's girlfriend had died of leukemia — a loss he said inspired him to help lead the Fighting Irish to the BCS championship game — was dismissed by the university Wednesday as a hoax perpetrated against the linebacker. Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick said Te'o told coaches on Dec. 26 that he had received a call while at an awards ceremony from the phone number of his late girlfriend, Lennay Kekua. By Te'o's own account, she was an ''online'' girlfriend. Swarbrick said they also talked by telephone. Swarbrick said that, based on a report from an investigative firm hired by the school, he believes Te'o was duped into an online relationship with a woman whose death was then faked by the perpetrators of the hoax. ''Nothing about what I have learned has shaken my faith in Manti Te'o one iota,'' Swarbrick said at a news conference Wednesday night after MCT photo Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o fights his emotions as he leaves the field after a 42-14 loss against Alabama in the BCS National Championship game Jan 7. 49ERS NBA BOYS SOCCER Curry sits after suffering ankle injury Los Molinos Biggs 3:30 p.m. Central Valley Corning 4:30 p.m. GIRLS SOCCER nick is demonstrating just what he and that pistol offense are capable of against the toughest competition. OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — Stephen Curry has injured his right ankle again. The Golden State Warriors point guard sat out Wednesday night against the Miami Heat after spraining his twice surgically repaired ankle during the team's morning practice. Warriors coach Mark Jackson said Curry, who already had been nursing a sprained right knee, injured his ankle going for a loose ball. The team said X-rays on Curry's ankle were negative. Jackson said the injury doesn't appear serious and he doesn't expect Curry to be sidelined long. Jarrett Jack started in Curry's place. ''It was really a freak injury,'' Jackson said. ''I'm not a doctor, but I can't imagine it turning into something more. I won't get into timetables and all of that, but we're not concerned.'' Curry was not in the locker room before the game during the portion open to reporters. A team spokesman said Curry was receiving treatment. Curry had started all 36 games this season to get Golden State (23-13) off to its best start since the 1991-92 season.

Williams injured her right ankle in her firstround match against Edina Gallovits-Hall, falling to the court, but still managed to complete a 6-0, 6-0 victory. She had a private practice session on Wednesday and didn't seem bothered by the injury in Thursday's 75-minute match. With the win, Williams stayed on track to win her third Grand Slam in a row — she also won last year's Wimbledon and U.S. Open — and a chance to complete the second ''Serena Slam'' of her career — holding all four majors at the same time.
