A letter drafted by U. Glenn Anderson Jersey .S. and Canadian anti-doping leaders urging Russias removal from the upcoming Olympics is circulating days before the public release of a report expected to detail a state-sponsored doping system that corrupted the countrys entire sports program.The letter, drafted last week and obtained by The Associated Press, is being prepared to be sent to the International Olympic Committees president and executive board after the Monday release of a report by investigator Richard McLaren.The letter calls for the IOC to act by July 26 to ensure that Russias Olympic Committee and sports federations will not be allowed in Rio de Janeiro, where the Games are set to start Aug. 5. The letter encourages exceptions for Russia-born athletes who can prove they were subject to strong anti-doping systems in other countries.A statement from Pat Hickey, the president of the European Olympic Committee, said the letter undermined the integrity and therefore the credibility of this important report.My concern is that there seems to have been an attempt to agree (on) an outcome before any evidence has been presented, Hickey said.USADA CEO Travis Tygart said the letter, which has backing from anti-doping agencies in a number of countries and athlete groups from around the world, was drafted with no intent for it to become public unless the McLaren report contains evidence of a major state-sponsored doping program.Of course, we want and hope for universal inclusion, but were not blind to the evidence already out there, Tygart said. And if were not preparing for all potential outcomes, then we are not fulfilling our promise to clean athletes.The McLaren report was sparked by a New York Times story that accused the Russian government of helping to manipulate tests at the Sochi Games so cheaters wouldnt get caught.Preliminary findings from the report, released last month, found mandatory state-directed manipulation of laboratory analytical results operating within the Moscow anti-doping lab from at least 2011 through the summer of 2013. Those findings also said Russias Ministry of Sport advised the laboratory which of its adverse findings it could report to WADA, and which it had to cover up.Based in part on that information, the letter to the IOC anticipates that the McLaren report will show the Russian government helped organize a systematic undermining of the drug testing of Russian athletes for many years in a successful effort to cheat to win.The AP also obtained a letter written by Beckie Scott, head of the athlete committee of the World Anti-Doping Agency, urging athletes to sign on to the U.S.-Canada letter. Scott informs athletes that, in addition to support from U.S. and Canadian anti-doping leaders Tygart and Paul Melia, the letter also has backing from anti-doping agencies in Germany, New Zealand, Japan, France, Denmark and Norway.Last week, IOC President Thomas Bach said it was important to strike the right balance between collective responsibility and individual justice in dealing with results from the McLaren report.It is obvious that you cannot sanction or punish a badminton player for infringement of rules or manipulation by an official or lab director in the Winter Games, Bach said.Already, tracks governing body, the IAAF, has suspended Russias track team from the Olympics after a separate investigation turned up evidence of a state-sponsored doping system used to benefit that team. The Court of Arbitration for Sport is expected to rule July 21 on the eligibility of 68 Russian athletes who have appealed to compete in Rio.McLaren was given permission to look into all Russian sports, and the letter being drafted for the IOC is written as if they all have been corrupted.We agree and believe a full suspension is the only available and appropriate result having regard to the findings and conclusions set out in the report, it said.In an interview on Tuesday, Tygart urged a full Russian ban, but said he had not seen the report in its entirety. He did not immediately respond to messages left by the AP on Saturday. Ron Duguay Jersey . After a replay, the winner will meet Sunderland in the quarterfinals.

ASHBURN, Va. -- Jay Gruden could be playing the Cincinnati Bengals on the moon and it wouldnt matter to him.The Washington Redskins coach will face his former team for the first time Sunday at Wembley Stadium in London. The setting doesnt matter; its a special game for Gruden, who was the Bengals offensive coordinator from 2011-2013. Its in Grudens makeup to treat it as an important game for the 4-3 Redskins, but he cant contain his excitement and nostalgia about going up against old boss Marvin Lewis.Im excited, man, Gruden said. I mean, I cant wait. Really, it sounds funny -- its such a big game for us. I really dont care where we play them. I just cant wait to play the game.Gruden will be able to look across the field at not only Lewis but his old quarterback, Andy Dalton, and receiver A.J. Green. Two coordinator changes since Gruden have changed plenty around the Bengals to the point Dalton isnt worried about Gruden knowing too much, but there are lessons from a few years ago that are helping now in Washington.A big one has to do with Dalton, whom Gruden groomed from a rookie starter into one of the more consistent passers in the NFL.Jay taught me a lot and he gave me a lot of freedom at the line of scrimmage, Dalton said Wednesday. He allowed me to change plays and get into plays that were better-suited for the defenses that we were getting, and so it taught me a lot just through the preparation of it. I feel like hes got a big part in the reason Ive been playing the way I have here recently, and hes got me to be the player I am today.Kirk Cousins is Grudens challenge now, even after Washingtons starting quarterback threw for 29 touchdowns and a franchise-record 4,166 yards last season. Even though they were only drafted a year apart Dalton (second round, 2011) and Cousins (fourth round, 2012), Gruden said theyre developmental curves are different because of the opportunities they got or didnt get early in their pro careers.Dalton was the man from the get-go in Cincinnati, while Cousins had to wait behind Robert Griffin III, who was the second overall pick in 2012. BBecause Dalton is in his sixth season as an NFL starter, Gruden said hes further along than Cousins at this stage. Joe Kocur Jersey. Cousins looked at Dalton as a blueprint when Gruden joined the Redskins in 2014 and still considers him a great example to follow.There was a desire to glean from Coach Gruden whatever he had taught Andy knowing that hes been able to make a quarterback very successful in this league, Cousins said. Im always studying quarterbacks around the league and hes included in that. Hes done a great job for them as a quarterback, as a leader, and I really admire his game. I certainly want to continue to take steps to play at his level and to do it consistently year-in and year-out.As a Dalton in-training, Cousins has the right guy teaching him in Gruden, a quarterback in his playing days who practices patience with that position. And Lewis thinks Gruden has a Dalton in-the-making in Cousins, who has similar size and can sling it when asked.I see a lot of similarities between Kirk and Andy, Lewis said. I think they both do an incredible job at the line of scrimmage surveying the defense and getting in and out of the right plays. You see the Redskins doing a lot of play changes at the line of scrimmage, which is what Andy has been so good at for us here.Game notes RB Matt Jones missed practice with a knee injury. Jones declined comment, and his status for the Bengals game is unclear. Gruden said if Jones cant play, undrafted rookie Robert Kelley would start and Chris Thompson would remain the third-down back ... TE Jordan Reed and CB Josh Norman partially participated in practice coming off concussions, though Reed said hes symptom free after missing the past two games. ... LT Trent Williams says he expects to play after leaving Washingtons 20-17 loss at the Detroit Lions with a knee injury. ...
