RIO DE JANEIRO -- After escaping a blanket ban from the Olympics, Russia was kicked out of the upcoming Paralympics on Sunday as the ultimate punishment for the state running a doping operation that polluted sports by prioritizing medals over morals.Paralympic leaders expelled one of its most significant members as the IOC announced that 278 Russians have been given clearance to compete at the Olympics after their eligibility in Rio de Janeiro was left to individual sports.Russias years of doping deception, including tampering with samples at the 2014 Olympics and Paralympics in Sochi, were outlined last month by World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren.The facts really do hurt, IPC President Philip Craven said. They are an unprecedented attack on every clean athlete who competes in sport. The anti-doping system in Russia is broken, corrupted and entirely compromised.In contrast to IOC President Thomas Bach, who opposed the nuclear option of banning Russia ahead of Fridays Olympic opening ceremony, Craven directly condemned the Russian states involvement in doping but stopped short of blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin.Tragically, this situation is not about athletes cheating a system, but about a state-run system that is cheating the athletes, Craven said. The doping culture that is polluting Russian sport stems from the Russian government and has now been uncovered in not one, but two independent reports commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency.While expressing sympathy for the clean athletes who will suffer by missing out on the chance to compete, Craven denounced Russia for still not complying with anti-doping rules.I believe the Russian government has catastrophically failed its Para athletes, Craven said. Their medals over morals mentality disgusts me.Russia finished second in the medal standings at the 2012 London Paralympics and had 267 athlete slots for Rio in 18 sports, which will only now be filled in September if an appeal is successful.Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said banning Russia from the Paralympics means a large number of athletes will suffer -- disabled people.We will fight for our Paralympians, Mutko, who the IOC banned from attending the Olympics, told the Tass news agency.Mikhail Terentyev, head of Russian Paralympic Committee, said the IPC decision was a huge injustice.The Paralympic Games without Russians are games in a cut-down form, Terentyev told Tass. Our team is one of the best in the world and its results are proof. We were first at the games in 2014 and second at the games in London. What the IPC is doing is a breach of all possible rights of clean athletes.The Paralympic movement is anticipating further evidence of positive tests being covered up that McLaren did not uncover in his initial 76-day investigation. The IPC said it has evidence of manipulated doping tests relating to 44 athletes, including 27 from samples from competitors in eight sports that are part of the Paralympic program.It shows a blatant disregard for the health and well-being of athletes and, quite simply, has no place in Paralympic sport, Craven said. Their thirst for glory at all costs has severely damaged the integrity and image of all sport.Unlike the IOC, which doesnt run any sports federations, the IPC does govern some disciplines.There are clearly very, very different circumstances from them to us, IOC spokesman Mark Adams said.---AP Sports Writer James Ellingworth contributed to this report.---Rob Harris can be followed at www.twitter.com/RobHarris and www.facebook.com/RobHarrisReportsStitched Authentic Jerseys .

Now that hes hitting streaking teammates with pin-point passes for easy layups, Love is asserting himself as one of the true superstars in the league.CARMEL, Ind. -- Roberto Castro kept pouring in birdies and expanding his lead in the BMW Championship until he finished with another 7-under 65 and led by as many as five shots as the other players at Crooked Stick were finishing their rounds.By the end of the day, U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson had set the course record at 63 and was tied for the lead.Johnson was asked to put himself in Castros place. If he had never won in 125 starts on the PGA Tour, had a big cushion when he finished Friday, and then saw someone like Johnson charging into the share of the lead, would he be nervous.Yeah, I would be, for sure, Johnson said.Castro, the Georgia Tech grad who needs a big week just to get home to Atlanta for the Tour Championship, is a practical sort. Hes not as long off the tee as Johnson (not many are) but hes playing well and golf rewards all manners of good play.I think if you look at the tour, it sure helps to be long, Castro said. But the guy who is striping it usually wins.They were at 14-under 130. Next up is round three:DUSTINS PUTTER: Johnson was getting frustrated by not seeing enough putts fall, so he decided to mix it up and try the TaylorMade Spider. The oversize head of the putter is designed to increase stability. Johnson was asked about the physics behind it, and he wasnt going there.I dont go into that stuff -- as long as it goes where Im looking, he said.The putts were going in the hole, including a 25-foot eagle putt on the 15th and a 30-foot birdie putt on the 14th that sent him soaring to the course record.Johnson didnt know he had the course record until Tony Pancake, the golf director at Crooked Stick, informed him.As for the physics? Johnson says he took a physics course in high school.I got an A, too, bud, he said.CASTRO AND EAST LAKE: Castro is at No. 53 in the FedEx Cup and figured he would have to win the BMW Championship to be among the top 30 who advanced to the Tour Championship at East Lake, about 15 minutes from where he lives.Its not that dire. A fourth-place finish might be enough, dependinng on other players.dddddddddddd Third place would all but secure it.Castro is just trying to hit fairways and greens, make a putt or two and see where it takes him.He qualified for the Tour Championship in 2013, and the next year he ended up losing his PGA Tour card.CASEYS BACK: Paul Casey is trending in the right direction. One week after he had the 54-hole lead in the TPC Boston (he finished two shots behind Rory McIlroy), he played bogey-free for a 66 on Friday and was three shots out of the lead.If you can put it on the right side of the flag, it makes your week really, really easy -- or easier, Casey said. So Ive done so far a really good job of that and I would like to continue it over the weekend.He is No. 10 in the FedEx Cup. He is No. 22 in the world. He is not eligible for the Ryder Cup because he didnt want to take European Tour membership, so the FedEx Cup is really the only thing on his mind. That and winning, which Casey hasnt done on the PGA Tour since 2009.MOVERS: J.B. Holmes shot a 65 despite a bogey on the last hole. He was four shots out of the lead, and his name on the leaderboard could -- or should -- only help his cause for becoming a captains pick on Monday for the Ryder Cup.Bubba Watson, the No. 7 player in the world, overcame his fear of blind shots and shot a 67 to tie for 10th. He also needs a captains pick. He only cared about two tournaments this year -- the Olympics and the Ryder Cup. He was in Rio. He would like to be at Hazeltine at the end of the month.DJ AND DAY: Jason Day and Johnson are Nos. 1 and 2 in the world ranking. They started 1 and 2 in the FedEx Cup. And they are 1 and 2 in the Vardon Trophy for lowest adjusted scoring average. And they have played together the opening two rounds of all three FedEx Cup playoff events.The advantage goes to Johnson, who is a collective 13 shots better than Day and sure to take over the Vardon Trophy lead if he keeps it up.
