Off Track ..... Scholz fears Playboy cover will cloud campaign

German hockey player Katharina Scholz fears news of her being a Playboy covergirl might overshadow her Olympic campaign.

Scholz and three other German Olympic sportswomen will appear on the cover of the German edition, adding their names to the list of athletes baring all for cash or a cause.

"I think now I have to play hockey and later talk about things like that. I think it a good opportunity but now it's not important for me," Scholz told Reuters after her team's 4-2 victory over the US on Thursday.
