Christian Gomez and Chris Pontius scored to give D.C. United a 2-0 lead, but Landon Donovan had two goals in the final 10 minutes as the Los Angeles Galaxy rallied for a 2-2 tie in Carson, Calif., in the Major League Soccer season opener for both teams. Gomez made a penalty kick in the 44th minute after being fouled in the penalty area by the Galaxy's Dema Kovalenko. Pontius, a rookie from UC Santa Barbara, scored his first goal in the 62nd minute on a curving, 18-yard shot. "I think the second goal actually woke us up," Donovan said of Pontius' score. Donovan, who led the league with 20 goals last year, scored on a penalty kick in the 80th minute after United's Rodney Wallace committed a handball in the penalty area. Then, in the 86th minute, Donovan tied the score by beating three defenders and heading Kyle Patterson's left-wing crossing pass from 6 yards.

Michael Phelps, who won a record eight gold medals in the Beijing Olympics last summer, and several other Americans are in the middle of a two-week training camp at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista, Calif., for this summer's national and world championships. They're in the pool twice a day, at 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., and spent part of one day training with U.S. Navy SEALs. Phelps, a Baltimore resident, said all the scrutiny over a photo that surfaced in early February of him inhaling from a marijuana pipe hadn't taken away his motivation. Phelps was suspended for three months by USA Swimming and has lost two major sponsors. "It's all really about what's in your heart, and that's why I'm back in the pool," said Phelps, who plans to return to competition May 14-17 at the Charlotte (N.C.) UltraSwim.
