The decision on whether Russian athletes can compete at the Rio Olympics is likely to be made at the IAAF council meeting in Vienna on June 17. Russia was suspended by the IAAF, athletics world governing ......., in November after being accused of state sponsored doping in a report commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency.The country announced reforms on Wednesday that it hopes will repair the credibility of its anti-doping operation, with all track and field athletes expected to undergo a minimum of three independent, externally administered anti-doping controls before the Olympic Games. Russia announced measures on Wednesday to help improve its anti-doping operation Two independent international experts, nominated by WADA, will be based full-time in Moscow from the end of April.They will have full and free access for as long as necessary to ensure the Russian anti-doping system is free of undue interference and is fully independent, the ministry of sport said.Russias minister of sport Vitaly Mutko said: We believe that sport must be clean and fair at all levels, from grassroots through to elite. Russian athletes will face more stringent doping controls as they look to secure their place at the Olympic Games We are 100 per cent supportive of WADAs efforts, alongside the International Olympic Committee and IAAF and other organisations, to stamp out cheating.Clean athletes dreams must not be allowed to be destroyed because of other peoples mistakes. This is an important step in our journey.The Olympic athletics programme begins on August 12 and if the Council does readmit Russia to the sport, most of its athletes would likely have only a matter of weeks to achieve the qualifying marks required for participation.Meanwhile, WADA has suspended the accreditation of the National Anti-Doping Laboratory in Beijing, China for four months. The statement said: During the period of suspension, the laboratory is required to take five remedial steps highlighted by the disciplinary committee in its recommendation.If the Beijing laboratory satisfies the disciplinary committee in meeting these requirements, the laboratory may apply for reinstatement prior to the expiry of the four month suspension period.Earlier this month, WADA revoked the accreditation of Moscows anti-doping laboratory, which was suspended in November after a WADA independent commission report alleged state-sponsored doping and cover-ups in Russia. http://www.thetexansfootballpro.com/texans-stephen-anderson-red-jersey/ .C. -- The Carolina Hurricanes used a strong third period to extend their winning streak to three games. http://www.thetexansfootballpro.com/texans-alfred-blue-red-jersey/ . Needing to bulk up on both sides of the line, the Falcons agreed to terms with guard Jon Asamoah, defensive end Tyson Jackson and defensive tackle Paul Soliai.

After deputy commissioner Bill Daly said the league would consider pulling out of Sochi if something "significant" happens before players arrive, those set to participate are trying not to worry about that scenario. http://www.thetexansfootballpro.com/texans-j-j-watt-red-jersey/ . According to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger, the Maple Leafs have trade offers on the table for the 26-year-old, but none have been deemed acceptable by the team.OAKLAND, Calif. - Unable to make the playoffs for the 12th straight year, the Oakland Raiders are doing a good job keeping other teams out of the post-season.Derek Carr threw two touchdown passes, Sebastian Janikowski kicked four field goals, and the Raiders knocked the Buffalo Bills from playoff contention with a 26-24 victory Sunday.I cant say enough good things about this team, interim coach Tony Sparano said. I love the guys in that locker room. Theyre fighters. Anytime somebody counts them out, they bounce back. Its a great sign of character.The Bills (8-7) needed to win their final two games and get some help to end the NFLs longest active playoff drought at 14 seasons. But they failed at the easiest part — beating the lowly Raiders (3-12) — and will miss the playoffs for a 15th straight year.When youve gone this long and youre right there with a chance, and you put it all on the line and you dont come through, it hurts, quarterback Kyle Orton said.Oakland has the second longest active post-season drought at 12 but has done a good job of playing spoiler in the past five weeks, beating Kansas City, San Francisco and Buffalo after starting the season 0-10.This team has never really gotten down to the point where we were ready to give up, safety Charles Woodson said. Its always been an upbeat attitude with the guys on the team, and it shows out there each week.Carr wasnt that sharp, completing just 17 of 34 passes for 214 yards, but the rookie did what Peyton Manning and Aaron Rodgers couldnt: throw a touchdown pass against Buffalos stout defence.He tied the game with a scoring throw to James Jones in the second quarter and then sealed it with a 1-yarder to Jamize Olawale with 2:51 to go.You see what that defence did to the best quarterbacks in the league, Carr said. When you turn the film on and see what theyre doing, you know its going to be tough. At the start it sure was tough.The second TD came after Oakland stopped Buffalo on a third-and-1 near midfield when Ray-Ray Armstrong deflected a pass to Chris Hogan and Carr converted a third-and-22 with a 51-yard completion to Andre Holmes.ddddddddddddDarren McFadden then ran it 25 yards down to the 1, and Carr hit Olawale two plays later to seal Buffalos fate.After Janikowski missed a 48-yard field goal attempt, Orton threw a 30-yard touchdown pass to Robert Woods with 1:09 to play to cut it to 26-24. But Woodson recovered the ensuing onside kick to end it.The Bills came into the game vowing not to overlook the two-win Raiders. But Orton struggled after an early touchdown pass to Sammy Watkins, throwing an interception and posting five straight three-and-outs on Buffalos next six possessions to put the Bills in a ..................... they never could overcome.The Bills ran for just 13 yards despite the return of C.J. Spiller from a broken collarbone. That was their worst rushing performance since gaining 4 yards against Tennessee on Nov. 23, 1997.At the end of the day, they got after us up front and they kicked our butt up front, coach Doug Marrone said. When you do that, its difficult to run, pass, do a lot of things.Instead of having a playoff berth possibly on the line next week in New England, the Bills can start looking ahead to next season and figuring out what to do at quarterback. Orton failed to get Buffalo over the hump after replacing ineffective second-year player EJ Manuel.Orton went 32 for 49 for 329 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions.The Raiders got a pair of field goals from Janikowski in the third quarter to take a 19-10 lead, but the Bills managed to stay within striking distance by keeping Oakland out of the end zone.Buffalo then got right back into it on the opening play of the fourth quarter when Orton connected on a 29-yard touchdown pass to Scott Chandler to make it 19-17.But that was as close as it would get.NOTES: The 13 yards rushing allowed by the Raiders were tied for their third fewest since the merger. ... Bills DT Marcell Dareus (knee) and CB Stephon Gilmore (concussion) left the game with injuries.___Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL China Jerseys ' ' '
