MOSCOW -- Russia has appealed a ban of its athletics team from next months Olympics in Rio de Janeiro over doping, the countrys Olympic committee said Sunday.Russian Olympic Committee spokesman Konstantin Vybornov confirmed to The Associated Press by e-mail that the appeal had been filed with the Court of Arbitration for Sport and would be heard July 19.If Russia wins, the Olympic application deadline will be extended to let Russian athletes apply, the ROCs legal department head Alexandra Brilliantova told the Tass news agency.The case is being brought jointly by the ROC and dozens of top Russian athletes.The IAAF, tracks world governing body, suspended Russia in November after a World Anti-Doping Agency report detailed widespread, state-sponsored doping in Russian track and field. The ban was upheld by the IAAF in a vote last month.A case has been filed at CAS today and a hearing date of 19 July set. We believe the deadline for team submissions should fit with this timeline, the IAAF said in an e-mailed statement.The IAAF ban already allows a small number of Russians to compete at the Rio Olympics if they can show they have been based outside the country and subject to testing from a respected, non-Russian anti-doping agency.Brilliantova said Sunday that she believed only two Russians would currently fit the criteria out of more than 80 who have applied to the IAAF. While Brilliantova did not name the duo, they are likely to be the U.S.-based long jumper Daria Klishina, who is a two-time European indoor champion, and the Italy-based pole vaulter Alyona Lutkovskaya.In addition, the IAAF has already approved an application from Russian athlete and doping whistleblower Yulia Stepanova, whose testimony of doping within the Russian team, including undercover footage of apparent doping confessions, formed an important part of the evidence against Russia in the WADA investigation.Stepanova is due to return to competition next week at the European championships, racing in the 800 meters as a so-called neutral athlete not representing a particular country.European Athletics said Sunday that athletes at the championships would wear bibs with messages such as I run clean, I jump clean and I throw clean in a statement against performance-enhancing drug use.Nike Air Max 270 Triple White Womens .

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.(STATS) -- Western Illinois tends to get overshadowed in the nations strongest FCS conference, but what the Leathernecks could do Saturday would grab a lot of attention, and set a record for the Missouri Valley Football Conference.The nations No. 13-ranked FCS program -- off to a 2-0 start -- will try to end a 15-game losing streak against FBS opponents when it visits Northern Illinois (0-3) in DeKalb. Northern Iowa, Illinois State and North Dakota State have combined to give the Missouri Valley three wins over FBS opponents for the third time. The conference has never had four.Missouri State also has a chance to give the Valley another FBS win Saturday night at Kansas State (1-1). Its less likely, although the improving Bears have surpassed last years win total with a 2-0 start.All six of Western Illinois all-time wins over the FBS -- in 35 games -- have come against Mid-American Conference teams, and four were against Northern Illinois.Sometimes records are deceiving, WIU first-year coach Charlie Fisher said about NIU onn his weekly radio show.dddddddddddd Theyve got good players. It will be a street fight for us against them.

The defense features one of the better linebackers in the FCS in leading tackler Brett Taylor.Northern Illinois holds a 21-17-1 series lead, but its the first time the once-regular rivals are meeting since 2009. Although NIU is coming off a home loss to San Diego State, they have won 35 of their last 38 games at Huskie Stadium. ' ' '
