The World Anti-Doping Agency has cancelled its scheduled Rio 2016 pre-Games press conference to avoid it being overshadowed by the ongoing Russian doping crisis.The WADA press conference had been due to take place at the Main Press Centre on the Olympic Park at 1530 local time on Thursday, a day before the Games opening ceremony.President Craig Reedie, director general Olivier Niggli and independent observer team chair Jonathan Taylor were due to have appeared before the media.WADA spokesman Ben Nichols confirmed to the Press Association that the press conference had been cancelled.Given current events, we believed that our press conference -- which was to focus on WADAs Independent Observer and Athlete Outreach programs -- would be overshadowed by other matters, he said.WADA came in for criticism from International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach on Sunday for failing to act more quickly on evidence of widespread doping in Russia provided by whistleblower Yuliya Stepanova.Bach said the IOC was not responsible for the timing of the WADA-commissioned McLaren report and could therefore not be held responsible for the scramble to assess the eligibility of Russian athletes to compete in Rio 2016 just days before the Games are due to start.The International Association of Athletics Federations imposed its own ban on the Russian track and field team and more than 100 Russian athletes across all sports have so far been excluded from the Games.The IOC asked international federations to make their own rulings on Russian athlete eligibility for Rio 2016 and has set up an independent IOC panel to give a final decision on eligibility.Over 250 athlees have been declared eligibile by the federations and some Russian athletes have filed appeals against their bans.Cheap Carolina Hurricanes Jerseys .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

With Parker having a quiet game for once, Nicolas Batum and Boris Diaw provided the scoring as France won its first major basketball title by beating Lithuania 80-66 on Sunday. It was a victory that ended a decade of frustration for Parker and a talented French generation, which lost the final against Spain two years ago and took bronze in 2005.Forget the Big Two, Cameron Smith says Melbournes charge towards a third NRL title boils down to the form of the clubs perpetually underrated big boppers.The Storm look set to finish inside the top two, and clinch an important home semi-final, after grinding out an 18-6 win over premiers North Queensland at 1300SMILES Stadium on Saturday night.While the result was largely attibuted to the absence of Cowboys halfback Johnathan Thurston, Melbourne skipper Smith laid praise at the feet of his sides forwards and their ability to lock down Matt Scott, James Tamou and Jason Taumalolo.The Cowboys all-international middle forwards were well held by the Storm with Scott (82m), Tamou (78m) and Taumalolo (135m) lacking their usual impact.Smith said they went into the clash knowing that while Thurstons absence was going to blunt their attack, it would count for naught if they didnt also win the yardage game against North Queenslands much-vaunted big men.They dont get any smaller and they dont run slower because JT isnt there, Smith said.But our ruck has been fantastic all year.Maybe because were way down south in Melbourne they dont get too many raps or the raps they should get but I think theyve been exceptional.All year theyve given Cooper (Cronk) and Blake Green and Cameron Munster opportuniities to do their thing out wide.ddddddddddddObviously Jesse (Bromwich) is having a good season again but guys like Tim Glasby, who was back tonight, Dale Finucane, Kenny Bromwich - theyre all playing really good football and thats what Ive been really pleased with.The Storms defence is shaping as the cornerstone of their premiership charge and after provisionally moving into top spot, Smith revealed the playing group resolved to improve their standards after being challenged by coach Craig Bellamy in the pre-season.Bellamys accusation that the side had lost their defensive steel has fired the group to top the league in most defensive stats this year.Going into round 21, they had conceded the least points, tries and linebreaks, missed the least tackles, as well as boasting the best completion rate and making the least errors, according to Fox Sports Stats.In the last two seasons I think weve fallen away from our standards in defence, Smith said.We always pride ourselves on defence.The coaches challenged us during our season review to make that better. Thats been a goal of ours this year and I think Craig would agree that so far, were achieving that goal.Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys [url=htide ourselves on defence.The coacheseys[/url] ' ' '
