MOSCOW -- Seven Russian swimmers have been barred from the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, including three linked to recent allegations of a major doping cover-up by Russian authorities, world swimmings governing body FINA said Monday.Reigning world 100-meter breaststroke champion Yulia Efimova is among four Russian swimmers withdrawn by the Russian swimming federation because they previously served doping bans, FINA said. The others are Natalya Lovtsova, Anastasia Krapivina and Mikhail Dovgalyuk.The International Olympic Committee on Sunday said Russian athletes with previous doping bans would be banned from the Rio Games. That followed the IOCs decision not to ban the entire Russian team over allegations of state-sponsored doping.FINA said three more swimmers were identified by World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren when he examined evidence that Russian government officials ordered the cover-up of hundreds of doping tests.They are 2008 Olympic silver and 2012 bronze medalist Nikita Lobintsev, bronze medalist Vladimir Morozov and world junior record holder Daria Ustinova.Russias top Olympic official, Alexander Zhukov, told Russian agency R-Sport that he now believed a total of 13 Russians would be ineligible due to previous doping bans. They would be withdrawn from the team, he added.The 13 are likely to include athletes in swimming, cycling, weightlifting, wrestling and rowing.On Sunday, the IOCs executive board asked individual global sports federations to decide on the entry of Russian athletes, and announced new eligibility criteria.The rules prohibit Russia from sending to the Rio Games any athletes who have previously served doping bans. Sports federations can also reject Russian entries if they have not undergone enough international drug testing. Results of Russian tests will not be accepted following allegations of routine cover-ups at Moscows anti-doping laboratory.It remains unclear whether there could be legal challenges to the IOC criteria. A similar IOC measure, known as the Osaka Rule, which would have prohibited any athletes who had received doping bans from competing in the subsequent Olympics, was declared invalid by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.Zhukov said the IOCs latest criteria violated the principle of equality because they only applied to Russia, although he has previously ruled out legal action.However, Russian Swimming Federation president Vladimir Salnikov told the state Tass agency that the four swimmers cut from its team have the chance to appeal to CAS. Efimovas agent, Andrei Mitkov, told Russias Sportbox website that she intended to file an appeal if she was not allowed to compete.Russias track and field athletes remain barred from the games by the IAAF, a decision upheld last week by CAS and accepted by the IOC.Now, with the Aug. 5 opening ceremony approaching, it is up to the remaining 27 international sports federations to vet Russian athletes on an individual basis.The International Weightlifting Federation said Monday it was seeking further clarification from the IOC and WADA before making a decision on which Russian athletes can be cleared to compete at Rio.The Budapest-based IWF said some points might lead to confusion regarding the IOC ruling giving individual sports federations the responsibility of deciding who can compete in Rio.The IWF said no Russian weightlifter sanctioned for doping will be allowed to compete -- even if they had already served their suspension -- and that it was waiting for evidence from the Russian athletes entered for Rio before making its decision.The archery federation said Monday it had approved the entry of three Russian archers after determining they have no links to doping.World Archery said it was satisfied that the three female Russian archers nominated for the games had been tested extensively and have never been sanctioned for doping. They were listed as Tuiana Dashidorzhieva, Ksenia Perova and Inna Stepanova.Archery was not implicated in the World Anti-Doping Agency report released last week by Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren, which accused Russia of covering up doping in 20 summer Olympic sports.Russian archers have been targeted for additional testing, both in and out of competition, since the report was released, the federation said.No Russian archery athlete has received an adverse analytical finding, it said, adding that it would submit its findings to the IOC.The International Tennis Federation said Sunday it expects Russias eight-player Olympic tennis team to be eligible for the games. The ITF said the players have been subject to a rigorous anti-doping testing program outside Russia.The International Equestrian Federation said there was no indication of doping within Russias five-rider team.Russian cyclist Ilnur Zakarin, who won a stage during the Tour de France which ended Sunday, could be ruled out because he served a two-year ban after testing positive for a steroid in 2009.The International Judo Federation, whose honorary president is Russias President Vladimir Putin, said it has already tested 84 percent of the 389 athletes from 136 countries who are qualified to compete in Rio. It made no mention of the 11 Russian judo athletes entered.The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) said it has taken note of the IOC ruling and shall fully adhere to it. It said it would establish a pool of Russian eligible athletes. Gymnastics was not mentioned in the McLaren report.Boxings governing body, AIBA, said it was examining Russias entrants. Eleven Russian boxers have boxers for Rio, including reigning world champions Vitaly Dunaytsev and Evgeny Tishchenko.We are reviewing and analyzing, on a case by case basis, the anti-doping record of the 11 Russian boxers currently qualified for Rio 2016, AIBA said. This information and the decision of AIBA in respect of the athletes eligibility will be submitted to the IOC for confirmation in due course.---AP Sports Writer Stephen Wilson in London contributed.

Des Hasler might be intent on sliding under the radar, but even he cant shy away from Canterburys NRL top-four credentials.With five wins from their past six games, the Bulldogs could push into the top four this weekend.Only behind fourth-placed North Queensland on for-and-against, the Dogs are in the running to secure two bites of the cherry.They also have the benefit of a favourable draw, starting on Saturday afternoon with Newcastle.The make-up of the top four is likely to be decided by their penultimate-round clash with the Cowboys but games against the last-placed Knights, Manly, out-of-sorts Brisbane and South Sydney are prime opportunities to bank two points.And while they have looked shaky in their 36-0 loss to the Cowboys and last weeks dour win over St George Illawarra, theres plenty to like about the Belmore boys.Along with Melbourne, they are among the most-disciplined teams in the competition.They are third in the league for completions (78.2 per cent), second for least handling errors (8.5 per game), fourth for running metres (1489 per game) and second for least missed tackles (21.4).Obviously, top four is an advantage, getting two bites at the cherry, Hasler said.But you cant control that and results go each way. The only thing you can control is to keep winning.Despite his sides impressive stats, Hasler said he still wasnt satisfied.We didnnt get off to a good start against the Cowboys and possession was a reason that night, if you want to lean on stats, Hasler said.dddddddddddd.There are parts of our game we definitely need to fix.It sounds pretty boring, talking about hanging onto the ball. But its a pretty fundamental part of the game.The Bulldogs can leapfrog the Cowboys and third-placed Canberra with a win over Newcastle and if results run their way.The Knights are on the cusp of breaking their record for most losses in a row after 14 defeats on the trot.They are also one defeat short of equalling the longest losing streak in the NRL era - 14 straight games set by Western Suburbs in 1998-99.They have also broken the club record for most losses in a season (17) and are on track for a new league record for least wins in a season in the NRL era (three, set by South Sydney in 2003 and 2006).STATS THAT MATTER:* Newcastle have conceded 20 or more points in a club-record 13 straight matches. Only five teams in premiership history have conceded 20 or more points in 14 games in a row* Newcastle have conceded the opening try in 16 of 19 matches this season* As the away team, the Bulldogs have won seven of their 10 matches - the second-best away record behind Melbourne Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Nike NFL Jerseys China Cheap Nike MLB Jerseys China Wholesale Baseball Jerseys China Wholesale College Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Wholesale Jerseys Near Me Cheap Jerseys Online Cheap NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap NCAA Jerseys Authentic Cheap Nike NBA Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic MLB Jerseys China Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Throwback Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Cheap NFL Jerseys China ' ' '
