Of all the tough international sanctions slapped on Yugoslavia, the one that appears to hurt most is the sports boycott. This sports-crazy nation has been in shock ever since it learned the Yugoslav soccer team will not play at the European Championships and that its world-renowned basketball squad and other athletes may not take part at the Barcelona Olympics. The sports ban was part of economic and diplomatic sanctions approved by the U.N. Security Council last Saturday to pressure Yugoslavia, composed of Serbia and Montenegro, to end involvement in neighboring Bosnia. The measures also include a trade and oil embargo, a cutoff of air links and the freezing of Yugoslav assets abroad. "We can survive without gasoline and fancy imported goods," said Mile Mitic of Belgrade. "But without soccer and basketball I don't know." The International Olympic Committee meets later this week to follow up on U.N. sanctions. The Yugoslav Olympic Committee has appealed to the IOC not to expell Yugoslav athletes from the Barcelona Olympics. The IOC said it would make a decision by June 15. MORE OLYMPICS: Three-time Olympic gold medalist Bonnie Blair, 28, intends to hang around speed-skating ovals at least two more years, hoping to collect more gold at the 1994 Winter Olympics. "It being only two years away, that made it easier to come to this decision." she said. GAMBLING: At the urging of organized sports, the Senate overwhelmingly passed a bill that would ban states from operating lotteries or other forms of gambling based on sports contests. The measure, which was avidly sought by the major professional sports leagues and the NCAA, passed easily by an 88-5 margin. The House has already passed a similar measure. Horse racing, dog racing and jai alai games would be exempted from the legislation. COLLEGE GOLF: Bob Shiver, who coached South Florida to 12 conference championships in his 19 years as men's golf coach, announced his retirement. "I look forward to having more time to play some golf myself," Shiver said. COURTS: The drunken driving trial of former heavyweight boxing champ James "Buster" Douglas began in Columbus, Ohio. Douglas, 32, is charged with drunken driving, speeding and failure to display his driver's license. The jury was selected Tuesday.

SOFTBALL: The Clearwater Bombers ran their record to 32-3 with a shutout sweep of the Tampa Bandits at Bomber Stadium. The Bombers won both games 8-0, belting four home runs. ET CETERA: Tennessee football coach Johnny Majors, 57, was relesed from a Memphis hospital after undergoing angioplasty to clear blockages from two arteries.
