Narsingh Yadav had appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to allow him to compete at the Rio Olympics, pending a criminal investigation into the case of sabotage which is currently underway.Narsinghs counsel Vidushpat Singhania told ESPN, Among our other arguments, we had also made a plea that since a criminal case is on in Haryana, Narsingh be allowed to compete as no irreparable harm would be caused to WADA by him competing. Should the criminal case go against him, WADA retained the right to take back any medals, awards or rewards he may gain from his performance in Rio.The ad-hoc division for CAS set up in Rio - which overturned the National Anti-Doping Agencys (NADA) decision to clear the 74kg wrestler Narsingh of doping charges and banned him for four years - however said it would only review the case should the criminal case first provide proof of sabotage against the individuals accused of having spiked the wrestlers food or drink.The hearing between the CAS panel in Rio and Narsinghs counsel in New Delhi was conducted over telephone for over four and half hours on Thursday afternoon. Narsinghs lawyer argued that the sabotage could be proved by putting together the balance of probability and circumstantial evidence, along with the fact that the wrestler was not negligent over what he ate or drank. The CAS panel was to ask for actual proof of the sabotage.The decision to uphold the WADA appeal against the Indian National Anti Doping Agency verdict following Narsinghs positive test, was taken on ground that Narsingh not established how the illegal substance had entered his body.The head of the CAS panel was British solicitor Mark Hovell, member of the National Anti-Doping Panel (NADP) in United Kingdom, external legal advisor to Professional Footballers Association and British Athletes Commission and former Secretary of British Basketball Players Association.Manny Machado Jersey . -- Five former Kansas City Chiefs players who were on the team between 1987 and 1993 filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the team hid and even lied about the risks of head injuries during that time period when there was no collective bargaining agreement in place in the NFL.

The United States Olympic Committees B- was the highest mark awarded.The IOCs calls for gender equality across sport have had no teeth, said Richard Lapchick, primary author of the report. The international federations must improve the percentage of female representation. It is unacceptable that only 5.7 percent of international federation presidents, 12.2 percent of vice presidents, and 13.1 percent of executive committee members are women.As the number of women competing in international competition has increased, their representation in leadership roles has lagged. There are only two women presidents of international federations, and women fill only 12.2 percent of vice president positions..dddddddddddd While the United States delegation is sending more women to the Olympics than any other nation in history, the USOC has women represented in only 31 percent of governance roles.Even so, when compared to data from previous TIDES reports, that is less than the percentage of women in professional roles in the league offices of the NBA, MLB, MLS, the WNBA and at the NCAA headquarters, Lapchick said.Americans Anita DeFrantz and Angela Ruggiero are members of the 90-member IOC executive committee. DeFrantz was named the first female vice president of that group in 1997Dr. Lapchicks exhaustive and powerful report reveals an important and sobering truth: While the number of women who play sports around the world has grown, the number who influence and lead key sports organizations remains dishearteningly low, said Val Ackerman, commissioner of the Big East Conference, and founding president of the WNBA.TIDES is part of the DeVos Sport Business Management graduate program in the University of Central Floridas college of business administration. TIDES releases the Racial and Gender Report Card as an assessment of hiring practices of women and people of color for a number of leagues, including the NBA, NFL, MLB, MLS and WNBA.?Lapchick periodically writes for and appears on ESPN.
