SALT LAKE CITY (AP) Real Salt Lake says Major League Soccer has reinstated the credentials of Salt Lake Tribune columnist Gordon Monson after the organization pulled it last week.

RSL chief business officer Andy Carroll released a statement last week saying the credentials were revoked “due to the conflicts of interest and personal agendas” of Monson, who hosts a local radio show with Spence Checketts, the son of former RSL owner David Checketts.
