LONDON -- Three Olympic boxers -- including one who bet on himself to lose -- received severe reprimands on Wednesday for betting on fights during last months Rio de Janeiro Games. Kendell Beckwith Womens Jersey .Irelands Michael Conlan and Steve Donnelly and Britains Antony Fowler were censured by the International Olympic Committee for violating anti-betting rules.None of the three won medals in Rio, although Irish amateur champion Conlan lost in the quarterfinals in a disputed decision to Russias Vladimir Nikitin. Donnelly bet against himself in a first-round bout but still won the fight.The IOC said the three boxers received only reprimands -- rather than retroactive disqualifications or bans -- because a disciplinary panel determined there was no intent to manipulate any event and the athletes have apologized.Under IOC rules, athletes and officials are barred from betting on Olympic events and required to report any approach or suspicion of fixing.All three boxers acknowledged they had made a mistake and regretted it, the IOC said. They must undergo an educational program in order to be eligible to compete in the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the committee said.The IOC also issued simple reprimands to the Irish and British national Olympic committees for not having properly informed their athletes of the betting rules. They were told to ensure that their athletes at future games go through a complete education process on the rules on betting and match-fixing.The IOC also urged the international boxing association, AIBA, to make its own rules compliant with Olympic regulations and to put anti-betting education programs in place.The 24-year-old Conlan is the most prominent of the three boxers sanctioned by the IOC. He won a bronze medal at the 2012 London Olympics and claimed the bantamweight world title in 2015.In Rio, Conlan reacted furiously to his loss to the bloodied Nikitin, stripping off his vest and making obscene gestures at the judges from the ring. He also made wide-reaching claims of corruption against AIBA and vowed never to fight as an amateur again.Conlan signed with Top Rank Promotions in Las Vegas last week.The IOC said Conlan placed cumulative bets on several fights, though none of his own, and lost all of the wagers. At least two bets were placed on fights in his own weight class. The bets were of a relatively low amount of money -- a maximum of 200 pounds ($260) -- but had created opportunities to make large amounts of money if they had been successful, the IOC said.Conlan appeared at a hearing in Rio, saying he had not read the Olympic anti-betting rules and wasnt aware of them. He said he bet regularly on sports as a hobby and had done so for fun in Rio because he was bored in the athletes village, the IOC said.Irish Olympic officials told the hearing they had placed more emphasis on anti-doping issues rather than the betting ban in preparing their athletes for the games.Donnelly placed eight cumulative bets, including two on his opponent, Tuvshinbat Byamba of Mongolia, to win their first-round welterweight bout, the IOC said.Donnelly, who won the fight, told the IOC hearing that he bet against himself not to fix the bout but because it would have offered some compensation had he lost.Donnelly, who lost all of his bets, said he was unaware of the ban on betting and did it to pass the time as he was bored in the village, the IOC said.Fowler, a middleweight who lost his only fight in Rio, made seven bets, including at least one on a bout involving a British teammate, the IOC said. He won three of the bets, which ranged between 30 pounds ($39) and 300 pounds ($390).Fowler told the IOC he knew he couldnt bet on his own fights, but wasnt aware of the overall ban on betting. He said he bet in Rio to pass the time and make a bit of money. Justin Evans Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. O. J. Howard Womens Jersey . Listen to the game live on TSN Radio 1050 at 7pm et.

MONTREAL -- The Montreal Impact added a second designated player Tuesday with the signing of Argentine midfielder Hernan Bernardello. The Major League Soccer club did not disclose contract details. Bernardello, who turns 27 on Aug. 3, is known as a mainly defensive midfielder who is also a strong passer. He joins Italian striker Marco Di Vaio, who will earn $1.9 million this season, as the teams second designated player. "We are very pleased to have finalized the acquisition of a player who has played at the highest levels," Impact sporting director Nick De Santis said in a statement. "He fits in well with the identity of the club and we believe he will play an important role for us moving forward. "Hernan has consistently played between 25 and 30 games a season over his career. He is a player with great quality in midfield that covers a lot of ground, all while displaying great technical skills and great ability to relaunch attacks. He plays the game with a lot of passion and emotion." The deal will be finalized when Bernardello receives his international transfer certificate. Earlier on Tuesday, fullback Hassoun Camara welcomed the teams plan to add a top talent. The Impact has a busy schedule ahead both in Major League Soccer and the CONCACAF Champions League. "If he comes it will be good for us," said Camara. "It shows the ambition we have to do well in the league and to have other weapons in our arsenal for the league championship and the Champions League." The Impact is tied for second in the MLS Eastern Conference, with games in hand on its closest rivals. Montreal is four points behind first-place Kansas City, who it faces in its next match Saturday night at Saputo Stadium. Montreal qualified for the Champions League by winning the Amway Canadian Championship earlier this season. The first game is seet for Aug. Kendell Beckwith Youth Jersey. 7 at home against the San Jose Earthquakes. There was concern Bernardello may displace all-star Patrice Bernier, who plays in the defensive midfield spot. The Brossard, Que., native said he would wait and see what coach Marco Schallibaum decides to do with the lineup. "Well see once he gets here what the coach decides and what the new scheme will be," said Bernier. "Are we going to play the same system, or have players in different positions? We dont know." Schallibaum would not comment until the player officially joined the club. MLS teams are allowed up to three DPs at a time. A designated player can be paid more than the maximum under the salary cap, with only US$368,750 counting against the cap. Former Bologna striker Di Vaio joined as Montreals first DP midway through the its expansion season in 2012. Di Vaio missed the Impacts 0-0 draw on Saturday night with FC Dallas when he returned to Italy to attend to a family matter. The 37-year-old was back at practice Tuesday. "Its a pity when Marco cant play," said Schallibaum. "We needed him Saturday. "Daniele (Paponi) and Andrew (Wenger) did well, but maybe (missing) Marcos experience was the difference. But Im happy hes back and also that he has good news from his family." Bernardello began his pro career with Newells Old Boys in his home town of Rosario, Argentina before moving to Almeria in the Spanish league for three seasons. He was loaned to Atletico Colon, one of Argentinas top teams, last season. The five-foot-nine Bernardello played once for his country in 2009. He will be the second Argentine on the roster after midfielder Andres Romero. Another midfielder from that country, Maximiliano Rodriguez, has been placed on the long-term injury list. The Impact has 11 spots for foreign players filled on its roster.
