Durham, NC (AHN) - A press conference is expected to be held on Monday to announce the reinstatement of the Duke men's lacrosse program, according to ESPN's George Smith.
Duke spokesperson John Burness denies the report, according to ESPN.com news services.
The program was suspended on March 28 after charges were made against three players for allegedly raping a woman at a team party on March 13.

"Duke To Reinstate Lacrosse Team

DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke University will officially reinstate the men's lacrosse program Monday, two months after suspending the team amid a rape investigation, sources told NBC17 Friday.
University officials will hold a press conference Monday to reinstate the lacrosse team for the 2006-07 season, sources said.
Duke spokesman John Burness denied that an announcement would be made. "Media reports to the contrary, President (Richard) Brodhead has not yet made a decision on the future of men's lacrosse at Duke," Burness said in a statement.
Brodhead canceled the remainder of the current lacrosse season for the men's team on April 5 and accepted the resignation of veteran coach Mike Pressler after details of a rape investigation became public.
A 27-year-old woman told police she was beaten and raped by three lacrosse players at a March 13 team party in an off-campus house, where she was performing as an exotic dancer.
Three players -- two rising juniors and a recent graduate -- were later indicted on rape and kidnapping charges in the case. All players have denied any wrongdoing.
During a police search of a lacrosse player's dorm room in March, investigators came across an e-mail in which a player threatened to kill and mutilate strippers.
Brodhead called the e-mail "sickening and repulsive" and immediately canceled the season for the Blue Devils, who were ranked No. 2 nationally at the time. He had suspended the team a week earlier until the police investigation was completed.
One of five committees Brodhead established to study the university's response to the rape case recommended last month that the team be allowed to play next season. But the committee said a history of problems with the team, mostly tied to alcohol, required monitoring by university officials."

DURHAM -- Wherever drugs are, violent crime will follow, according to Cpl. David Addison of Durham CrimeStoppers. So it follows, Addison said, that alleged drug dealer Anthony Wayne Mangum, is a pretty violent guy.
