Über das Forum » no interest in playing out the option year

Australian athletes at the Rio Olympics are being roused from their beds after just a few hours of sleep to be drug tested, prompting a complaint by team management.Among those to have their sleep disrupted are swimmer Cameron McEvoy and the mens hockey team.They had knocks on their doors about 6am Rio time (1900 AEST) despite only getting to bed three or four hours earlier.Chef de mission Kitty Chiller says the team is fully supportive of the tests but officials need to be mindful that competitive schedules have changed for some sports.They want to be tested. They dont mind being tested. Test them 100 times, test them 1000 times, but do it at a time that shows some respect for their competition schedule, Chiller said.We are concerned about swimmers, hockey players, all our team members getting a knock on their door at six or seven oclock in the morning when theyve had a late night.The Australians have raised their concerns with drug testing authorities and the International Olympic Committee said the complaint was a reasonable one.Spokesman Mark Adams said drug testers should work around the revised competition schedules if possible.But it depends on whether the authorities are able to carry out effective doping controls, he said.The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) did not respond to requests for comment.About 5500 tests will be conducted on the 10,500 athletes in Rio including the top five athletes in every final along with two others at random.Those tests samples will be kept for 10 years to be re-tested using new techniques that may be developed in the future.Chiller said she did not believe the early morning tests had been detrimental to performances so far.But its not something that is ideal when you cant get a full nights sleep, she said. Sinan Kurt Bayern Munich Jersey .C. Lions has come to an end. Banks told TSN on Jan 2 that he had no interest in playing out the option year of his contract with the Lions in 2014, and he again made that clear in a conversation with Lions GM Wally Buono last week. Renato Sanches Jersey . James, who turned 29 on Monday, injured his groin Friday during the Heats overtime loss at Sacramento. He sat out the following game, a 108-107 win Saturday in Portland, before coming back to help send the Nuggets to their seventh consecutive loss. http://www.soccerfcbayernshop.com/kids-philipp-lahm-bayern-munich-jersey/ . Jane Virtanen scored two, and Alex Roach and Elliott Peterson rounded out the offence for the Hitmen (40-15-6). Brady Brassart chipped in with three assists. Colton McCarthy scored twice, Brayden Point had a goal and two assists, and Jack Rodewald also scored for the Warriors (15-35-9), who were 2 for 5 on the power play. Robert Lewandowski Jersey . Thats not a comment on the suspension that banished the Portland Winterhawks general manager and coach from his Western Hockey League teams bench for most of the 2012-13 season. Serge Gnabry Bayern Munich Jersey . They were putting most of their energy into a record-setting offensive display. One weekend has already changed the tone of the Big 12.Oklahoma went into this season as the overwhelming favorite to win its 10th Big 12 Conference title, and the Sooners very well might still be that with all the talent back from last seasons College Football Playoff team.But after a fast start against Houston, quarterback Baker Mayfield , running back Samaje Perine and Co. wound up with a 10-point loss to a team from outside the Power Five conferences that shot past them in the new AP Top 25 poll.While still a few weeks from starting conference play, the Sooners have little room for error if they want to return to the four-team playoff. For now, they arent even the highest-ranked Big 12 team.Neither is TCU, which at 24-3 since the start of the 2014 has the best overall record in the 10-team Big 12, the only conference able to tout having half of its teams ranked. But the Horned Frogs had their own issues in scuffling to a victory over an FCS team.Texas is tops among ranked Big 12 teams after rocketing from unranked for more than two full seasons to No. 11 this week after its 50-47 double-overtime win over then-No. 10 Notre Dame, which in last seasons opener beat the Longhorns by five touchdowns.One game doesnt make a season. We know were still rebuilding, said coach Charlie Strong, coming off back-to-back losing seasons to start his tenure with the Longhorns. Youre just hoping this cant be a one-night wonder, and it wont be.The first part of Strongs statement is also applicable to the Sooners, who plummeted from their preseason ranking of third to No. 14 this week. They are a spot ahead of TCU, which slipped two to 15th after a 59-41 win over South Dakota State in a game that was tied midway through the third quarter.Weve got a long season ahead of us, Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said. Our guys are very aware of that.They also have, no doubt, the toughest non-conference schedule in the Big 12. After the SSooners play their home opener Saturday as six-TD favorites over Louisiana-Monroe, fourth-ranked Ohio State will visit Norman the following week.ddddddddddddOverall, the Big 12 went 7-3 on the opening weekend, when even Kansas won to break a 15-game skid dating to November 2014. The only losers other than Oklahoma were Kansas State at top-10 Stanford and Iowa State in its debut for coach Matt Campbell against Northern Iowa.Last season, Oklahoma won the Big 12 title and, even with a loss, became the leagues first CFP team. That setback was to Texas, which went into the Red River rivalry game as a double-digit underdog coming off a 43-point loss at TCU. The years game at the State Fair of Texas is Oct. 1.Oklahoma then scored at least 52 points in four consecutive games, part of a seven-game winning streak before losing to Clemson in the CFP semifinal game at the Orange Bowl.The Sooners probably cant lose again if there is any chance of getting back into the CFP that hasnt had a two-loss team in its brief history. And that could be a tough task with Ohio State and the round-robin Big 12 schedule left to play. Since becoming a 10-team league in 2011, the Big 12 champion has had an 8-1 conference record each season. Oklahomas last six titles included a conference loss.Texas, which still has a non-conference game at Pac-12 team California, stays home to play UTEP a week after a record attendance of 102,315 for the opener against Notre Dame, along with a massive national audience watching on television and online.You always talk about good people that believe in you. You have to give them a reason to believe in you, Strong said. Winning that (Notre Dame) game, it took us at least a step forward instead of going backward.---Online: AP College Football website www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
