RIO DE JANEIRO -- The IAAF said Saturday it has banned the only Russian in Olympic track and field from competition and that she is appealing the ruling. Ricky Nolasco Twins Jersey .The eligibility of long jumper Darya Klishina was revoked by the IAAF based on new information it received last week, spokesman Yannis Nikolaou told The Associated Press.He would not specify what the new information is or who delivered it, though Klishinas attorney Paul Greene told the AP the case revolves around scratch marks on Klishinas doping sample bottles, identified as part of World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLarens work.McLaren has alleged that Russian security services were able to open supposedly tamper-proof bottles with the intent of swapping out tainted samples for clean urine, leaving behind telltale scratch marks on the glass.The basic idea here is that even a clean athlete like Darya is the victim of the state sponsored doping system, Greene added in a text message. At least thats the IAAF position.Greene said he had not seen the underlying evidence in confidential parts of McLarens report.Klishina, a former European indoor champion, previously was the only one of 68 Russians allowed to compete in the sport amid a massive doping scandal. The IAAF had accepted her application because she is based in the United States. The rest of the Russian team was banned over allegations of a widespread, state-sponsored doping program.The Court of Arbitration for Sport said it had received Klishinas appeal of the decision imposed by the IAAFs doping review board. The IOC and Russian Olympic Committee were invited to take part in the hearing. CAS said it hopes to issue its verdict by Sunday night.I am a clean athlete and have proved that already many times and beyond any doubt, Klishina said in a statement on her Facebook page.Based in the U.S. for three years now, I have been almost exclusively tested outside of the anti-doping system in question, she added, an apparent reference to the Russian anti-doping agency, which remains suspended over doping cover-ups.I am falling victim to those who created a system of manipulating our beautiful sport and is guilty of using it for political purposes, she said.I will take every possible effort to protect my clean image as an athlete, Klishina said. At this moment, I cannot help but feel betrayed by a system that is not focused on keeping the sport clean and supporting rank-and-file athletes, but rather seeking victories outside sport arenas.The president of the Russian Olympic Committee, Alexander Zhukov, condemned the IAAF decision. Overall, all of this looks like a mockery of the athlete by the IAAF, he said in a video message posted by the Russian Olympic Committee.The International Olympic Committee ruled out a blanket ban on Russia last month but imposed new rules which have barred some Russian athletes in various sports because their names were implicated in a report by McLaren, who alleged a major doping cover-up.McLaren said he had received leaked emails in which senior Russian Sports Ministry officials discussed whether or not to conceal doping cases related to hundreds of athletes across dozens of Olympic and non-Olympic sports.Some Russian athletes who were named in that report were able to regain their Olympic spots on appeal to CAS, although others were refused.If Darya Klishina is in the McLaren list, then the IAAF must have been aware of it for a long time, Zhukov said. They, as I understand it, only addressed questions to Klishina on Aug. 6. She answered them, and they only took this decision today, Aug. 13. Why it couldnt have been done while all the other federations were examining the problems with athletes who were in the McLaren list is completely incomprehensible.McLaren has said his investigation is continuing and that more athletes could be implicated as more evidence emerges.---AP Sports Writer Stephen Wilson contributed.

JOHNS, N. http://www.mlbtwinsonline.com/hoodie/ . -- The Sacramento Kings are set to become the first major professional sports franchise to accept Bitcoin virtual currency for ticket and merchandise purchases. The Boston Celtics waived former first-round pick R.J. Hunter in advance of Mondays deadline to trim the regular-season roster to a maximum of 15 players.Unable to find a trade that could have saved the team from eating salary or brought back an asset, the team elected to simply move on from Hunter, the 28th pick of the 2015 draft.The one part of the business that, no matter what, every time sucks, is when you have to make roster decisions, said Celtics coach Brad Stevens, who recruited Hunter when Hunter played high school basketball in Indianapolis. Because its real people and certainly Ive known R.J. for a long time. I think hes really improved, I think hes gotten better. I had a pretty decent long talk with him this morning and I told him this is part of the path to a great career, right? And I truly believe hell have a great career.Boston had been exploring possible deals for both Hunter and 2014 first-round pick James Young in the final days before the final roster trim. Rivals knew the Celtics had to cut a player and were reluctant to part with anything of value in order to facilitate a deal.Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said he believes Hunter will find another NBA opportunity.It was a very difficult decision and I guess thats a good thing, said Ainge. We had a really good training camp, a lot of guys played really well and theres really no reason why we waived R.J. other than we had 16 bodies and that position is probably needed less than we need other positions. But I will say that James and Jordan [Mickey] and Demetrius [Jackson and], Terry Rozier had fantastic training camps.The Celtics came to camp with an overstocked roster knowing they might have to simply cut a former first-round pick. The team waived second-round pick Ben Bentil on Friday.?Bentil signed with the Indiana Pacers on Monday, but he is likely ticketed for their D-League team in Fort Wayne.Boston will carry two rookies on this years roster in No. 3 pickk Jaylen Brown and No. Ricky Nolasco Jersey. 45 pick Demetrius Jackson, who provides emergency ballhandling depth. Two more 2016 draft picks are stashed overseas in Guerschon Yabusele and Ante Zizic, while another second-rounder, Abdel Nader, is expected to land with the teams D-League affiliate in Maine.Celtics brass decided that, because Hunter and Young had some positional redundancy, the team had to simply pick one to move forward with. The front office wrestled with the decision, but, ultimately, the 15th player on the roster was unlikely to impact the teams success during the 2016-17 season.James won the job. He played well. Day in and day out, the last six weeks, he won the job, said Ainge, who also challenged Young, the 17th pick in the 2014 draft who just turned 21, to show more progress in his third year.Young said he was eager to show the team they made the right decision keeping him around.I feel like this is even better than the draft really, earning this position, said Young. Im really blessed to be a part of this and [there is] not much I can do but keep getting better.Ainge was at peace with having to move on from a first-round pick.Right now the hardest thing is I like R.J. and weve invested time in him, Ainge said. But I see Jaylen and Terry and Jordan Mickey and Demetrius Jackson and Abdel Nader, who had a terrific summer with us, and the two kids over in Europe [Yabusele and Zizic] that are playing fantastic right now. I mean the draft is the draft, as we all know. You have some good selections and some that dont fit and dont work for you, so Im not disappointed in that regard at all. Im glad we have another pick next year and well keep taking our swings and try to find the right guys.The Celtics used a first-round pick received from the Los Angeles Clippers as part of the Doc Rivers exchange in 2013 to draft Hunter.
