Sainz will report on Jets, but not in locker room

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. - Ines Sainz, the TV Azteca reporter whose presence at a Jets practice on Sept. 11 caused a stir and led an NFL investigation of the incidents at practice and in the Jets locker room, will return to the team's practice facility to conduct interviews in two weeks. But she won't be back in the locker room.

"It's not a good place right now for me," Sainz said yesterday at a news conference near Universal Studios in California. "I don't want to be in there."

Sainz, who attended that Saturday practice to interview Mark Sanchez for her Mexico-based network, was subjected to catcalls and comments in the locker room. The NFL investigated the incident but did not fine the Jets.

She took a month off from work after backlash against the way she dressed. "A lot of media treated me very bad. If I dressed properly or not, I have nine years of my career making interviews with top players all around the world and I can't believe that someone says my outfit is not proper." said Sainz, who turned down an offer to pose for Playboy. "It's unfair treatment. I believe the media thought they were going to find a victim but clearly I don't feel like a victim."
