FRANKFURT - The Bundesliga plans to start using blood testing this season although it has no indication that doping is a factor in football. Womens France Jerseys . German Football Federation president Wolfgang Niersbach said Wednesday the decision to start blood testing was made before the publication of a study that revealed a government-backed doping program for West German athletes in the 1970s. One section of the report says three German players showed traces of a banned stimulant at the 1966 World Cup. German Football League managing director Andreas Rettig said the Bundesliga wants "stricter controls" although it has "no indication" of doping. The tests will not be ready in time for the start of the season this weekend. The federation (DFB) and the National Anti-Doping Agency (NADA) are still working on a contract for the tests, to be conducted by NADA. Blood testing for banned substances has been used in many major sports for years. "Its the right signal to start blood testing in the Bundesliga, a decision made before the latest events," Niersbach said on the fringes of a German Football League (DFL) meeting in Berlin. The DFL runs the professional game in Germany. "We want to open up and conduct stricter controls although we have no indication of doping," Rettig said. The study on doping, published Monday, has sparked a nationwide debate on the problem. Calls are growing for a federal anti-doping law and to publish the full report, with all the names. The government has denied allegations of a coverup. In the study, FIFAs medical officer at the time is quoted as telling a West German athletics official that three players showed "fine traces" of ephedrine, a banned stimulant, after West Germany lost the 1966 World Cup final to host England. Leading players of the time dismissed the report. "In 1966, we still had no idea what doping was," Franz Beckenbauer said. "There were no controls, as far as I know. No one asked me (to provide a urine sample)." West Germanys 1966 captain, Uwe Seeler, backed his teammate. "I think nothing of doping," Seeler said. "I didnt dope and I dont know anybody who did." The DFD also denied the report and said no players were ever banned. But former sprinter Manfred Ommer, who admitted doping already in 1977, said football had a doping problem. "Of course there is doping in football. I have absolutely no doubt. I said it already in 1977," Ommer said. Ommer served as president of the football club FC Homburg between 1986 and 1994. The club played in the Bundesliga for a while under his presidency. France Jerseys From China .J. -- Josh Cribbs was in the Pro Bowl in February and out of a job six months later.

ARLINGTON, Texas --?Dallas Cowboys?owner Jerry Jones has acknowledged speaking with the NFLs special counsel for domestic violence investigations, and rookie running back Ezekiel Elliott said he was interviewed by the league this season about an abuse claim made against him.Elliott said after Sunday nights 29-23 overtime victory over the Philadelphia Eagles that he was interviewed once by NFL investigators about six weeks ago. He characterized there being an ongoing investigation but said he didnt really know what was going on.Prosecutors in Ohio declined to press charges over the summer in a domestic violence case involving the fourth overall draft pick.All I can do is not worry about it, focus on this team and do whatever I can do to help these guys get wins, Elliott told The Associated Press after running 22 times for 96 yards and catching four passes for 52 yards against the Eagles.CBS Sports reported earlier Sunday, citing multiple unnamed sources, that Jones raised the topic of the investigation during league meetings in Houston about two weeks ago with Lisa Friel, a former New York prosecutor serving as special counsel. That report said they were within earshot of other league and team executives.Jones said after Sunday nights game that the two had a good discussion. He said the conversation might have gotten loud but said it was a situation where he had to talk over the music.Asked if the interaction was contentious, Jones responded with a laugh, Well, I dont know about that, but certainly, the volume of it had a lot to do with noise in there.In September, when Ohio officials decided not to file criminal chaarges, the Columbus city attorneys office cited conflicting and inconsistent information in evidence.

A police report said Elliott, who played at Ohio State, denied allegations that he assaulted his girlfriend in July, causing bruises and abrasions.Three witnesses told police they didnt see Elliott assault the 20-year-old woman. Elliott said the woman got the bruises and abrasions in a bar fight.Asked if the Elliott investigation would have closure soon, Jones replied, I dont know that the NFL has a closure, has a situation where theyve cut it close, which could be a frailty of the system.He continued: As you know, in law, one of the things in the Constitution is that not only are you innocent before proven guilty, you get quick addressing and then you dont get it drawn out. It has certain time frames and has a lot of economic limitations. So we have to, in my mind, just make sure that we inject that in ... [what] we do in the NFL.Jones went on to say that because many issues within the league are so public, it complicates how they are ultimately handled and addressed.?Thats one of the challenges we have in dealing with these sensitive social issues, he said. Make no mistake about it, the NFL does not want to -- I guess I have to do my disclaimer, but obviously were not for bullying and were certainly, certainly, certainly not for the issue of domestic violence. That area there is one were having to get our hands around.ESPN staff writer Todd Archer contributed to this report.
