Australia has flatly rejected calls for an apology over swimmer Mack Hortons controversial comments about Chinese swimmer Sun Yang. Colorado Rockies Jerseys .A war of words was sparked by Horton, who dismissed Sun as a drug cheat after beating him to claim the 400m freestyle gold medal on the opening night of the Rio Games.China has demanded an apology but the International Olympic Committee says it has not yet received a formal complaint and does not intend to investigate further.Spokesman Mark Adams has also given Horton qualified support.People say many things after competition and theyre entitled to say those things, he said on Monday.Australian chef de mission Kitty Chiller says there will be no apology.Mack obviously has very strong views about the need for clean sport, as every single one of us does, she said.He has every right to express his views and his displeasure in that sense.We have no intention of making an apology.Horton also has the support of other medal-winning Aussies, trap shooting gold medallist Catherine Skinner and bronze medal-winning synchronised swimmers Maddison Keeney and Annabelle Smith, who backed his anti-drugs stance.Im all for clean sport. Everyone should have an equal playing field, Keeney said.I support Mack. Im with him all the way.Horton called his 400m triumph over Sun a win for the good guys, in reference to the dual London Olympic gold medallist serving a three-month ban for testing positive to banned stimulant trimetazidine in 2014.But the China swimming team was unimpressed.We have been noticing what has been said in the past two days by Horton, who launched a malicious personal attack (on Sun), team manager Xu Qi told online news service Chinagate.We think his inappropriate words greatly hurt the feelings between Chinese and Australian swimmers.It is proof of a lack of good manners and upbringing.We strongly demand an apology from this swimmer.Adams said the IOC wanted to encourage freedom of speech but the Olympics was also about respecting the right of others to compete.There is a line somewhere there where people should be free to compete in tranquillity, he said.Chiller said she didnt think Horton would be too fazed by the controversy.Mack is in a pretty good place. Hes got probably his best event coming up in a few days and I know he, like all the swimmers, are focused on their own event, their own lane, she said.I would hazard a guess that it wouldnt affect him at all.

He was dismissed by the team last March after the Lightning struggled in the lockout-shortened season with a 13-18-1 record. Fridays annual national draft brought with it many twists and turns as clubs sought to secure the best talent ahead of the 2017 season.Every club walks away from the draft confident they had nailed their selections, and the refrain we couldnt believe he slipped through to our pick was heard regularly though the evening at Sydneys Hordern Pavilion.Its a huge night for the AFL industry, and only getting bigger, but also for teenage boys, their families and friends, who finally get to realise their dream. Or not, for many disappointed youngsters watching on at home.But aside from all the excitement and festivities, what lessons could we take away from this years draft?Essendon did everyone a favour by keeping their top choice under wrapsThis was the first year in recent memory that mystery still surrounded who would be taken at No. 1 right up until the time came. Essendon said pre-draft that only a handful of key staff members knew which way theyd lean on the night, meaning everyone else was sitting in suspense as the decision was announced - even the Dons media staff admitted they had no idea in the minutes beforehand.Because of this, there was genuine emotion from Andrew McGrath and his family and friends after being selected at No. 1 ahead of Tim Taranto and Hugh McCluggage. The brilliant running defender said he had no idea hed go No. 1: Not at all ... us three [possible No. 1 picks] were told [by the Bombers] we cant give anything away, and wed find out when everyone else finds out.Surprise surprise, the Giants and Suns scooped the poolRival clubs must be used to rolling their eyes at this time of year since the establishment of Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney, such has been the domination of the two new clubs at the draft table. With four selections inside the top 10, the Suns were always going to be a major player on Friday night, and they were considered to be one of the big winners after selecting Ben Ainsworth, Jack Scrimshaw, Will Brodie and their Academy player Jack Bowes. And the Giants, despite going within a whisker of winning the AFL premiership, also had their rivals looking on in jealousy. They were able to select Taranto at pick No. 2, while they also snared Academy jet Will Setterfield at No. 5 after matching a bid from Carlton, as well as Harry Perryman at No. 14 (matched bid from Adelaide) and Isaac Cumming at 20 (matched bid from Sydney).There were more bids than an auction in the early stages of the draftClubs were playing ducks and drakes with Academy and father-son nominations. North Melbourne even went for the trifecta with theiir second-round picks, bidding on and securing Brisbane Lions Academy defender Declan Watson, and then shooting for Collingwood father-son midfielder Callum Brown. Greg Holland Jersey. . The Pies matched on Brown, so the Roos reloaded and successfully bid on Gold Coast Academy prospect Josh Williams. Overall, 12 academy selections and three father-sons were drafted, with the last name called out, Jake Waterman, the son of legendary Eagle Chris.Theres still plenty of romance left in the cut-throat world of AFLAs well as Waterman joining West Coast, Collingwood were able to secure father-son draftees Callum Brown (son of Gavin) and Josh Daicos (son of Peter) with picks 35 and 57 respectively, with the tweets and vision of the two households celebrating their arrival at their fathers club a joy to behold.The AFL moves on quickly but theres still time for reflectionAlmost as soon as the final whistle is blown on grand final day, the AFL industry starts to plan for the following season, with the trade and draft periods following soon after the biggest game of the year. But AFL CEO Gill McLachlan took a moment during his pre-draft speech to congratulate Western Bulldogs for their drought-breaking win against the Swans. Quite rightly, long-suffering Dogs fans should take every opportunity to remind themselves that yes, their club are the reigning premiers.Draftees get straight down to businessAlmost as soon as they were shuffled off stage after being selected in the first round, the top-end talents were paraded through the media centre for interviews and photos. In less time to compose a tweet, the lucky young men transformed from enthusiastic amateurs to consummate professionals, answering questions from eager reporters, and posing for photographs in their new club colours. No. 3 pick McCluggage took an early liking to AFL draft clichés, telling one interviewer: Whether you go [at pick] one, or as a rookie, it doesnt matter once you get to the club.... But, theyre still of course excitable 18-year-oldsDespite being thrust into the world of professional football, it was easy to see the new draftees for what they were - wide-eyed youngsters living their dream. Back stage, away from their official duties, they bunched together smiling, laughing and trying to contain their excitement. Most had their heads buried in their phones, Snapchatting away, or were intently watching the draft broadcast and celebrating when friends and teammates were selected.

SEATTLE -- After struggling defensively in its first two games of the season -- even surrendering 98 points to Yale in a home loss to open the 2016 slate -- Washington appeared to find its mojo on both sides of the ball Sunday in a 92-58 win over Northern Arizona at Alaska Airlines Arena. http://www.texansrookiestore.com/T-Shirts/ .The Huskies (2-1) set the tone defensively on the Lumberjacks (1-4) opening two possessions, one ending in a Malik Dime block and the other a turnover forced by Matisse Thybulle, the first of five from the Lumberjacks before the under-12 timeout and 16 total.Weve improved (since Yale), Washington coach Lorenzo Romar said.

Happ will make his second start since returning from injury today as the Toronto Blue Jays try to salvage a split of their four-game series with the Oakland Athletics in a matinee game. The Blue Jays shook up their rotation ahead of this finale, pushing scheduled starter Josh Johnson back to Wednesday in part because of some tightness in his right forearm that he experienced in his last start, and moving Happ up. The 29-year-old will make his second start following a three-month absence due to a skull fracture sustained when he was hit by a line drive against Tampa Bay on May 7. Though his return to the hill last Wednesday was a great sight, the lefty experienced some issues on the mound in a no-decision. Despite getting staked to an early lead, Happ did not factor into a 9-7 loss as he allowed seven runs -- six earned -- on seven hits and three walks over four-plus innings. "Its obviously not how I wanted it to go," Happ said. "We should have won that game. We scored seven runs early. I wasnt able to keep us holding onto that." Happ is still on normal rest due to an off day last Thursday and is 2-2 with a 5.84 ERA in eight starts this season. He will make his first career start versus Oakland, having faced them twice before in relief. Oakland will send Dan Straily to the hill to chase his first win in more than a month. Following a win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on July 9, Straily was sent back to Triple-A Sacramento before returning to the As at the end of the month. He has lost all four starts since his return, falling to 6-6 with a 4.41 earned run average in 18 starts this year with the Athletics. Though the right-hander has been charged with two eaarned runs or less in three of those four games, he has not pitched past the fifth inning in three straight. http://www.bearsrookiestore.com/Bears-Tom-Compton-Jersey/. Straily logged 4 2/3 innings in a 5-0 setback to Toronto on July 30, charged with five runs -- two earned -- and giving up a pair of homers. Straily was then lifted after four innings and 75 pitches in Tuesdays 3-1 setback at Cincinnati. He yielded two runs on six hits and a walk. The 24-year-old is 0-1 with a 2.53 ERA in two career meetings with the Blue Jays. On Sunday, Alberto Callaspo hit a go-ahead two-run double during a three-run eighth inning, with his drive to left tipping off the glove of Emilio Bonifacio. Chris Young added a pinch-hit RBI single in the frame. "They just ended up getting a lucky one there with two outs," Jays infielder Brett Lawrie said in reference to Callaspos hit. "That kind of stung us a little bit." Brandon Moss slugged a two-run homer for the Athletics, who remained a game behind the Texas Rangers for first place in the AL West. Grant Balfour earned his 30th save of the season the hard way, giving up a run in the ninth and leaving the bases loaded before finishing things off. That gave manager Bob Melvin the 700th win of his career. "Never a dull moment," Melvin deadpanned. "Excruciating. We found a way to win but it wasnt pretty." Melvin sent Young up to pinch-hit for Coco Crisp, who has a nagging left wrist injury and could rest today. Catcher Derek Norris is also likely to get a break as he deals with back spasms.

HAMILTON, Ont. Dion Waiters Jersey . -- The Hamilton Tiger-Cats acquired import receiver Lyle Leong Jr. from the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Thursday in exchange for import defensive lineman Jermaine McElveen. McElveen, a six-foot-four 265-pound native of North Chicago, Ill., is entering his sixth CFL season. He had 31 defensive tackles and a team-leading six sacks in 15 games with the Ticats last year.

HAMILTON, Ont. Dion Waiters Jersey . -- The Hamilton Tiger-Cats acquired import receiver Lyle Leong Jr. from the Saskatchewan Roughriders on Thursday in exchange for import defensive lineman Jermaine McElveen.

Renault is looking to 2017 as an opportunity to make significant progress but has warned that it is doing so from an inferior starting point that its rivals. Freddy Galvis Jersey .Renault has scored just six points on its return to Formula One as a constructor this year after taking over the Lotus team last winter. Uncertainty over the Enstone teams future at the end of 2015 resulted in a lack of investment in this years car, which is essentially the 2015 Lotus with a Renault engine.Changes to the technical regulations for 2017 create an opportunity for teams to move up the grid, but Renaults team principal Fred Vasseur says his teams development starts from a lower base than its rivals.Yes, we do consider 2017 a good opportunity for us, he told Formula Ones official website. Right now we are using a 2015-designed car that was built around a Mercedes engine, so when switching to a Renault engine we suffered from the very beginning.It is a fact that we are not building the 2017 car based on the 2016 one, but on the 2015 car -- and that is a lot of catching-up! But as I just said, 2017 holds a good opportunity for us. Yes, right now it is a bit stressful to manage such a huge gap based on the structure that we have - but we are working hard on it.Vasseur stressed that Renaults plans for success are long term, spanning over the next five seasons.Outsiders probably dont have the same understanding of the situation: if you want to be successful, you sometimes have to bite the bullet, he added. This is a long-term project -- we need to build up a completely new team.If somebody joins at the end of 2016 he will design the car of 2018, so this in itself is a time that has to be considered. Yes, right now we are improving on track -- we already have a better organisation than at the start of the season, so we are moving forward -- but again: we will get results in mid-term and not next week.And Vasseur admitted he is resigned to Renaults current ninth place in the constructors championship.Well, the pecking order seems quite clear and it will be difficult to change it, as we are not working on the car. So unless a gift comes from God I dont know how we should jump ahead. Christian Villanueva Jersey . Manuel was offered a position the day he was fired. He accepted earlier this week and the team made the announcement Friday. Allen Craig Jersey . They reached the 100-point plateau for the fourth time in five games, bested the visiting Trail Blazers by 34 in the paint and scored 19 of the final 25 points in regulation. http://www.padresrookiestore.com/Padres-Ozzie-Smith-Kids-Jersey/ . Nigeria beat surprise package Ethiopia 2-0 in the second leg of their playoff for a comfortable 4-1 aggregate victory. Victor Moses converted a 20th-minute penalty after an Ethiopian handball, and Victor Obinna made certain of Nigerias place in Brazil with his powerful free kick in the 82nd at UJ Esuene Stadium. October 28 Welcome to the world of modern travel, where everything goes via the Middle East. Even the route from Cape Town to Perth. On a map, it seems the best way to get from one to the other is along a straight line through the southern hemisphere. On an airline schedule, thats not possible. Instead, I will spend nine and a half hours going up to Dubai and then ten and a half hours going down. Add the changeover in Dubai and it means a full 24 hours of travel, and with the time differences, I will arrive two days after I left. Say what?October 29 I think today is Saturday but Im not really sure. I feel trapped in a time warp I dont understand.October 30 Touch down in Perth around 2am. Decide to normalise by sleeping and then force myself to get to the series launch around midday. Its a public event, at Elizabeth Quay, which is also set-up for Diwali festivities. A decent-sized group of people has come to see the Australian and South African teams, and the players are introduced individually. Most get a cheer - David Warner and Dale Steyn louder than the others - but when Dane Vilas walks out, there is complete silence. Poor guy.October 31 Welcome to the world of modern sports media, where the press conference is the most common method of communication. We have no fewer than nine interviews here. Australia put up six players in an open media session, South Africa three. Our heads are swimming with quotes. The most interesting things to come out of the day are Usman Khawajas views on diversity and the Australian fascination with Temba Bavuma. At 1.61 metres, Bavuma is among the shorter sportsmen around and has to field several questions about how he has adapted his technique to his height. Bavuma seems a bit bewildered by the attention but answers the questions as carefully as he can.November 1 The race that stops Australia will be run today, and though Im not in Melbourne, its still a big deal. Im familiar with showstoppers like this - we in South Africa have the Met in January and the Durban July (you know when) - but the Melbourne Cup is a little different. Across Australia, people dress up as though they are at the venue itself, and at 3pm Australian Eastern Standard Time, time stands still. I havent quite got used to the time zone yet, and around noon Im heading to the WACA, wondering why the streets are deserted. When I realise the gun is about to go, I get a move on and get there just in time to pop my head into the guards hut and see the end of the race.November 2 The day before a big Test series is a usually a frenzy of last-minute previews. We wind down with a traditional barbeque at a local journalists home. Our hosts daughter is doing a project on the Democratic Republic of Congo and I offer to help. How often do you go back to Africa? she asks me. I live there, I tell her, as her eyes widen in disbelief.November 3 South Africa stumble through the first day on a pitch with better bounce and carry than I have seen in months. Later we all stumble around on a walking tour, organised by Tourism Western Australia. The idea is to roam the laneways to discover how Perth is Melbournising, and stop at bars along the way. Our guide has the remarkable ability to talk to us while walking backwards. She doesnt lose her step once, not even on St Georges Terrace, said to be the windiest street in the southern hemisphere. At our second and last stop, our holiday-making UK colleague Andrew McGlashan joins us.November 4 Theres an awful feeling when Steyn goes down, clutching his shoulder, with a look on his face worse than when he left the field against India and England last summer. I suspect its serious but first need to turn attention to the remarkable comeback the rest of South Africas attack are staging. At the end of the day we discover Steyn will be out of action for at least six months.November 5 It is due to be 37 degrees today, so I choose a simple T-shirt-style dress to wear. When I arrive at the WACA, at the gate the media use (which is also the members gate), security staff stop me. My dress is too short. The members dress code dictates that dresses must sit no more than 5cm above the knee. Im quite sure mine is not shorter than that, but they disagree. After a protracted discussion - during which one woman is told shee isnt allowed in because the straps on her top are too thin - I am admitted but told not to leave the press box through the day. Tony Gwynn Jersey. Inevitably I have to and am warned a second time. Another journalist tweets about it and a social-media storm erupts.That evening I see Steyn waiting for an Uber in the city centre. He has just got off a train from visiting his uncle in a suburb about 40 minutes away. He admits his shoulder is very sore and says he is resigned to a lengthy period on the sidelines and that he is not going to try and rush back. He will leave Perth tomorrow night, so wont see the result, which looks headed South Africas way.November 6 I pick a dress that extends to my ankles today, but my colleague Melinda Farrell doesnt. She also bares her shoulders. She is reprimanded at the gate, and now that the rest of the press pack know about the issue, another social-media storm erupts. To the WACAs credit, their stadium manager visits us and apologises profusely. He assures us we both look fine.November 7 I wear pants today but am stopped at the gate yet again. No thongs allowed, says the staff member. I present the media argument again. I am let in. This time, both Melinda and I receive an email apology from the WACA CEO. She says the members code will be reviewed and the ground wants to bring about change. We didnt enjoy the attention over our choice of clothing but were pleased weve achieved something. South Africa have too - the series lead. Given how far they had fallen last summer, their dominance is unexpected.November 8 Hobart is the only destination on this tour that Ive not been to before, so I am particularly looking forward to being there. Its Australias second oldest city and one with an extensive convict history. Ive just finished reading Alex Haleys Roots, and I want to find something similar but Australian. Ive been recommended For the Term of his Natural Life by Marcus Clarke and I make it my mission to track it down - if I can ever feel my fingers again; its cold in Hobart. November 9 I was warned to expect less than summery conditions in Hobart but I didnt anticipate a wind so icy it threatens to freeze the blood in my veins. Not to make this all about my wardrobe but I need more clothes. Cricket Tasmanias digital-media manager, Michelle Cooling, offers to lend me some. Among them is a Hobart Hurricanes hoodie. Shes got a fan for life.November 10 Still havent managed to get to a bookshop but I am enjoying learning about the local food. Melinda takes me to Mures, a seafood establishment on the harbour, where we splash out on all the regions delicacies. Oysters done four ways, scallops, white fish, even a dessert of chocolate tarts. Its definitely among the best meals Ive ever eaten.November 11 A cannon being towed by a Ute rolls past on my morning run, headed to the Anzac Parade. Its Remembrance Day. The colonial history is more marked here than anywhere else in Australia Ive seen, especially in the architecture. The Queen Victoria Clock Tower, now home to the General Post Office, was built by public subscription and has become one of my favourite landmarks.November 12 Theres no rain yet but Australia are drowned anyway. Vernon Philander rolls back the years and takes 5 for 21. Its an even better performance than on his debut. After suffering torn ankle ligaments last season, he seems to have regained confidence and become even better than what we thought was his best. As I leave the ground, I see the Australian team bus, driven by Nathan Lyon, pull up next to Philander, who is walking to the South African bus. Lyon rolls down the window and congratulates Philander. Sportsmanship is still alive.November 13 The expected rain is finally here, and as the day progresses, it only gets heavier. When we arrive at the ground, the teams have not even turned up. We know its only a matter of time before play is called off. It happens at 2pm. I squeeze in a trip to the Hobart Book Shop and pick up a copy of Clarkes book. Im reminded that this time last year I was in Bangalore, covering the washout that was AB de Villiers 100th Test. Nothing lasts forever, even cold November rain.

PHILADELPHIA -- The Eagles do not appear entirely convinced that the most critical call in their loss to the Detroit Lions was the correct one, and may be sending a clip of the play to the league for review. Joe Blanton Jersey .With 2:41 remaining and the Eagles nursing a two-point lead, Lions cornerback Darius Slay forced a Ryan Mathews fumble that was recovered by Detroit along the right sideline.Replay shows that the fumbled ball was first between the legs of Eagles center Jason Kelce while his arms were out of bounds before being secured by the Lions. By rule, if a player touches a loose ball while out of bounds, the offensive team keeps possession.Its a dead ball out of bounds. Thats the rule, said head coach Doug Pederson at his day-after press conference. That was one of the things I wanted to make sure this morning that I was correct and accurate in that ruling. Its just one of those things. But we cant cough the ball up.The play was reviewed, but Pederson was told that it wasnt touched by us.Pederson consulted with Eagles manager of football compliance John Ferrari, who used to work in the Park Avenue command center with vice president of officiating Dean Blandino, both during the game and on Monday morning. While Pederson has personally not seen definitive evidence that the ball touched Kelce, his conversations with Ferrari appear to have led him to that conclusion.The head coach was asked if he planned on sending a clip of the play to the league for review.Well send a few clips in out of this game, he responded, but again, thats not why we lost this football game.Blandino offered an explanation of the officials ruling via Twitter.Penalties were also a factor in this game. The Eagles were whistled for 14 penalties for 111 yards compared to two penalties for 18 yards for the Lions.We almost overcame it and won it, said Pederson, and thats a tribute to the football team.

The Lightning are 2-0 so far on a four-game road trip, giving the club five straight wins as the guest and improving Tampas away record this season to 11-8-2. Super Smash Brothers Melee recently celebrated its 15th anniversary.In many aspects, the longevity of the game offers a unique competitive landscape. In late 2001, Nintendo released the NTSC version of the game to Japanese and North American markets. The European market received the PAL version of Super Smash Bros. Melee nearly six months later, in 2002. In the meantime, Nintendo implemented balance changes for some of the characters. For example, the PAL version removed Sheiks chain throw on several characters. Ken combos rarely happened because of a players ability to meteor cancel Marths down-air.More importantly, while Jigglypuff remained untouched in the PAL updates, Fox received several soft nerfs to his recovery, damage output and knockback.The core mechanics of Melee remained largely the same between the two versions, but the balance updates in PAL could make a world of difference at DreamHack Winter, hosted in Gothenburg, Sweden. Traditionally, most majors in the U.S. run the NTSC version of Melee, but DreamHack Winter will run the PAL version of the game.In 2016, the Fox and Jigglypuff matchup became one of the most scrutinized duels among the top players. Juan Hungrybox Debiedma worked with his coach, Luis Crunch Rosias, to optimize the matchup for Jigglypuff while Fox players like Adam Armada Lindgren and Zachary SFAT Cordoni continued to develop anti-Jigglypuff gameplans. Howie Kendrick Jersey. The results have gone back and forth; Hungrybox looked unstoppable in the first half of 2016, winning major after major, including Evo 2016, but the Fox-mains have had his number in the past few months. Hungrybox lost to SFAT at The Big House 6 and Shine 2016, and he was defeated by Armada at Canada Cup 2016 and Smash Summit 3.Still, theres plenty to look forward to for Hungrybox, who recently quit his job to pursue Melee full-time. After some relatively poor performances in the past three months, he finished in second at Smash Summit 3 and looks forward to competing at DreamHack Winter 2016, with his chances of winning increasing since DreamHack Winter is running the PAL version of Melee.While Hungrybox looks forward to better matchups in PAL, Armada looks forward to winning a major in his hometown of Gothenburg in front of his family and friends. The momentum seems to be in his favor after winning Canada Cup and Smash Summit 3.Of course, we cant forget about William Leffen Hjelte or Joseph Mango Marquez who are also contenders for this event. Will any of them be able to overcome Foxs nerfs in PAL? Or will Hungrybox be able to win DreamHack: Winter and build his case as best player of 2016?
