Russia have included Maria Sharapova in their Olympic tennis team despite the star player being suspended over a positive test for the banned drug meldonium.Sharapova, who won a silver medal at the 2012 London Olympics, was suspended in March after she admitted she had tested positive for meldonium at the Australian Open in January.By the end of the first week of Roland Garros, the question of Sharapovas participation at the Olympic Games should be resolved, Shamil Tarpischev, the head of Russias tennis federation, said.

Sharapova broke news of her failed drugs test at a news conference But the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), which had only banned the Latvian-made drug from January 1, said in April that athletes could escape a ban for taking meldonium because of uncertainty about how long it takes for the substance to leave the body.Many athletes who had been suspended for testing positive for meldonium have since been absolved.

The recently retired Stern was elected Friday to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and will be enshrined with the class of 2014 on Aug.Brisbane Roar veteran Jade North reckons its unfair to pin all the blame on Michael Theo for the goal they conceded in their 1-1 draw with Adelaide United last week.Theo is under pressure to retain his spot in goal for Saturdays A-League clash against Sydney FC after failing to stop a simple glancing header from Sergi Guardiola that ultimately cost Brisbane a fourth consecutive win.The 35-year-old has emerged this season as the Roars clear number one goalkeeper but back-up Jamie Young is waiting in the wings if coach John Aloisi decides to make a change.Centre-back North, however, said he felt the move that led to the goal shouldnt have been allowed to happenI look at it maybe two or three passes before that, North told reporters.We probably should have put some pressure on the boy that crossed it in.These things happen, weve just got to pick ourselves up from that, learn from it and well be better for it.I was very disappointed (to draw) because I felt we were very comfortable. Adelaide are a good side, theyve got players that can hurt you jjust like they did on the weekend.ddddddddddddYoung made 20 A-League appearances last season but has only been used sparingly since Theos return to full fitness.Theo is off contract at the end of this season but Young signed a two-year extension earlier this year to keep him in Brisbane until 2018.Meanwhile, the Roar was visited by rugby league royalty on Tuesday as they prepare to ditch their usual home colours for an all-maroon strip on Saturday to drum up their rivalry with the ladder-leading Sky Blues.North presented Queensland great Billy Moore - the inventor of the famous Queenslander! war cry - with the special jersey, which will also be worn in future away matches.It doesnt matter if its rugby league, football or marbles - when sky blue plays maroon, everyone north of the Tweed cares, said Moore.Hopefully with a bit of maroon in their uniform they can really lift, the Queensland crowd will get behind them.
