emails released by a World Anti-Doping Agency investigation show

MOSCOW -- Players from Russias under-21 national soccer team had suspicious drug-test samples covered up, emails released by a World Anti-Doping Agency investigation show.The emails, released this month as part of WADA investigator Richard McLarens report on Russian doping, state that there were five suspicious samples in the Russian mens under-17 and under-21 national teams in 2013 and 2014.Another case in the Russian league was allegedly covered up by then-Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko, who is also in charge of the countrys World Cup preparations. The FIFA ethics committee said Monday it will examine the report thoroughly in response to the allegations about soccer and the role of Mutko, who sits on the FIFA Council.The allegations follow a tough year for Russian soccer, which is trying to prepare to host the 2018 World Cup but has faced criticism over hooliganism involving fans at the European Championship and racism in the domestic game.The doping cases in the Russian national teams were all recorded as clean by Moscow lab director Grigory Rodchenkov after instructions from Sports Ministry employee Alexei Velikodny to save the players, McLarens investigation found.The records show that three members of the Russian under-21 team gave suspicious samples at the national training base shortly before traveling to the 2013 European championship, with two showing elevated testosterone levels -- a key indicator of doping -- and another testing positive for cannabis. A fourth players sample contained high traces of alcohol, which isnt banned but seems to have been included in the documents as a warning.Rodchenkov and Velikodny discussed the players by name in emails, in breach of confidentiality rules, and Velikodny instructed the lab director to take no further action.It is not clear which players gave the suspicious samples, since their names have been redacted. The Russian squad at the tournament included some players who have gone on to play for Russias national team.At least two other international tournaments were affected in 2014. A player from a leading Russian club gave a sample with a huge cannabis reading ahead of Russias European under-21 qualifier against Estonia, prompting Rodchenkov to comment that he needs to be chased out of the team, though no positive was recorded. A player from Russias under-17 team tested positive for arimistane ahead of qualifiers against Spain and Switzerland.There are also two recorded cases in the Russian league. In one case, an unknown player tested positive for dexamethasone, an anti-inflammatory steroid with various uses including legitimate medical purposes. In the other, a player from another former Soviet country tested positive for the banned peptide hormone hexarelin.McLaren said the hexarelin case was covered up on the order of Mutko, who is now deputy prime minister. That allegation rests on a comment by Rodchenkov that it was the decision of VL, the initials of Mutkos first two names. Other people in the emails are referred to using initials in a similar way.FIFA is now reviewing the evidence provided by WADA after the final McLaren report, and based on this information FIFA will take the appropriate next steps in accordance with the anti-doping regulations, the governing body said. The result of the investigation will be communicated in due course. Please understand we cannot comment further at this stage.Both UEFA and the Russian Football Union, of which Mutko is president, declined to comment. Yeezy Boost 350 Kopen .

Watson (64no from 66 balls) guided Australia to a six-wicket victory in Adelaide after entering the crease with his team teetering on 59-3 in pursuit of 214.The 33-year-old, who was dropped for the match with Afghanistan earlier in the tournament, held firm while the effervescent Wahab Riaz (2-54) came hurtling in. To get your team over the line is the aim of any cricketer and to have done it having weathered a pace storm from the unbelievably fired-up Wahab will make it extra special.” Mark Butcher And former England batsmen Butcher told Sky Sports that Watson will be delighted with his knock, one that secured a Sydney showdown with India on Thursday, March 26.“That innings from Watson will give him more pleasure than any 80 or hundred he would have made in easier circumstances,” said Butcher, who played 71 Tests for England but no one-day internationals.“To get your team over the line is the aim of any cricketer and to have done it having weathered a pace storm from the unbelievably fired-up Wahab will make it extra special.”CaptivatedWatson, whose half century was his 33rd in ODI cricket, was on the backfoot early in his innings with left-armer Wahab peppering him with a hostile spell of seam. Wahab Riaz says being unable to call upon the injured Mohammad Irfan was a big blow for Pakistan as they lost to Australia in the World Cup quarter-finals. “I was captivated by the battle, as everybody else was, and it was almost a mini episode of Test cricket in a one-day game,” said Michael Atherton after commentating on the match.dddddddddddd“It has happened a lot in this tournament, though, as with batsmen dominating, captains have realised they need their fast bowlers bowling aggressively to try and prevent an onslaught from batters later on.”Watson, however, was given a costly reprieve by Rahat Ali when on four, the Pakistan quick shelling a routine catch at fine leg off the bowling of Wahab.But former Australia all-rounder Marcus North says that slip-up was just one of a number of differences between the sides. Watch this huge error from Rahat Ali which could prove costly for Pakistan in their quarter-final clash with Australia. “It was a very tense, close contest in the end but as a package Australia are better than Pakistan,” said North, after watching Michael Clarke’s men skittle their opponents for 213 and then chalk off their target in 33.5 overs, thanks also to scores from Steve Smith (65) and Glenn Maxwell (44no).“They just have more match winners, either with amazing hitters or in the bowling, while Pakistan have also been unable to master the fielding aspect of the game.”Highlights of Australias win over Pakistan will be available on Sky Sports World Cup at 1pm, 4pm, 7pm and 10pm with The Verdict, featuring VVS Laxman and Jacques Kallis, following each show.Highlights of the match are also available in Hindi over on Zee Cinema (channel 790).
