FRANKFURT - The Bundesliga plans to start using blood testing this season
although it has no indication that doping is a factor in football.

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.

-- If this was Aaron Gordons final home game at Arizona, and it almost certainly
was, then he went out in style. 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.

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
