GLASGOW, Scotland -- Russian sport is a long way from convincing the world that it has cleaned up its act, the World Anti-Doping Agency declared Sunday, pointing to the states failure to accept it was behind a doping program, its continued obstruction of testing, and a series of cyberattacks. Cowboys Jerseys 2020 .It would be better if they were maybe a little bit more contrite, WADA President Craig Reedie told The Associated Press after being re-elected unopposed for a second term.Russia is seeking readmission to WADA a year after being declared non-compliant with the doping code, following the publication of a report detailing widespread cheating in track and field.Fresh evidence of state-backed doping cover-ups was revealed by investigators ahead of the Rio de Janeiro Games, although WADAs recommendation of a blanket ban on Russias Olympic team was rejected by the IOC.Russias integrity is set to be challenged again when Canadian law professor Richard McLarens final doping report is published on Dec. 9, with the focus on winter sports.Reedie said Russia still has to get the rest of the world to believe that they have reformed and this (doping) wont happen again. So there is much work to be done.At Sundays Foundation Board meeting, WADA officials outlined how Russia continues to frustrate anti-doping officials by denying access to so-called closed cities where athletes are training and also to a sealed-off laboratory in Moscow that contains samples sought by sporting federations.The public criticism was delivered in front of Russian President Vladimir Putins anti-doping troubleshooter, Vitaly Smirnov, the former Soviet sports minister now heading Russias state-backed anti-doping commission.Russia has never had a state-sponsored system of doping, Smirnov responded defiantly.Vitaly Mutko, who was recently promoted from sports minister to deputy prime minister, was banned from attending the Rio Olympics after being accused by McLaren of ordering the cover-up of a failed drug test by a foreign soccer player.A WADA presentation on Sunday flagged up claims by Mutko that McLarens report was falsified and threats to prosecute those assisting the investigators.One of Mutkos deputies at the sports ministry, Yuri Nagornykh, was ousted on Putins orders after McLaren said he helped to orchestrate cover-ups of hundreds of drug tests. But Smirnov said Nagornykh was not a member of the government because he was deputy minister, maintaining that only ministers are members of the government.Russias unflinching denial of state involvement was rebutted by WADA, with Reedie endorsing clear evidence of collusion between the laboratory and the ministry from McLarens investigation.Reedie does, however, believe there is a willingness to resolve the problems. And he will not insist on a full acceptance of guilt at government level as an absolute condition of Russias anti-doping body being cleared by WADA.It would be a great shame if they couldnt be compliant because they couldnt find a way of dealing with closed cities, Reedie said, referring to the areas where the Russian military restricts access. Maybe athletes shouldnt go there.Also straining relations are the cyberattacks on WADAs databases, which the agency attributes to Russia espionage groups -- as they appeared designed to raise doubts about the integrity of sports stars from Western nations.Records of Therapeutic Use Exemptions, which allow athletes to use otherwise-banned drugs because of a verified medical need, were leaked by a hacking group known as Fancy Bears.This doesnt make international acceptance of Russian improvement any easier if this goes on, Reedie said of the hacking.While disclosing that hackers are still trying to obtain logins and passwords, WADA said it would continue to oppose the publication of athletes medical information. The agency said 143 TUEs were granted before or during the Rio Games, with a handful of the 11,303 competing athletes requiring more than one.The system works perfectly, Reedie said, as the TUEs are allocated and agreed by responsible people in sport.WADA will remain under the leadership of the 75-year-old Reedie for the next three years, despite elements of the Olympic world appearing uneasy with the agencys attacks on Russia. Association of National Olympic Committees President Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah had wanted a neutral chair to take over from Reedie, who was supported by the International Olympic Committee.The IOC congratulated Reedie on Sunday and said it welcomed his commitment ... to work towards the appointment of a neutral WADA President.Reedie responded: I have always been (neutral). I will continue to be, and behave, as independently as I can.---Rob Harris is at www.twitter.com/RobHarris and www.facebook.com/RobHarrisReports Wholesale Cowboys Jerseys .

From filmmaker Nanette Burstein (On the Ropes), The Price of Gold revisits the saga that rocked the figure skating world ahead of the 1994 Lillehammer Olympic Winter Games: the assault on Nancy Kerrigan, and the plot that led its way back to her rival Tonya Harding. Rob Howley has urged an expectant Welsh public to give teenage sensation Keelan Giles time and space as he prepares for a potential Test match debut.The 18-year-old Ospreys wings blistering pace and dazzling footwork have already drawn comparisons with Wales record international try-scorer Shane Williams.And a Principality Stadium crowd of more than 70,000 could see what all the fuss is about on Saturday after Giles was named among Wales replacements for their autumn series clash against Japan.Wales Under-20 international Giles has scored eight tries in five games this season, earning rave reviews as a rare talent who could have a long Test career ahead of him. If he is capped this weekend, Giles will become Wales 11th youngest senior international.When asked on Thursday what the Welsh public should expect from Giles, Wales interim head coach Howley adopted a cautious stance.Give him time, he said. Dont give him as many headlines as he has had over the last couple of weeks. The Ospreys and (head coach) Steve Tandy have been particularly impressive in how they have developed a young talent.It is important we continue that on the international scene. Hopefully, he will have an opportunity to come on on the wing in an experienced back three, so he can enjoy his first touch of the ball in international rugby.Howley has made 10 changes to the starting XV following last weekends solid 24-20 victory over Argentina. The switches include a recall for centre Jamie Roberts, who was dropped to the bench against the Pumas, and opportunities for the likes of Cardiff Blues half-backs Gareth Anscombe and Lloyd Williams, Ospreys prop Nicky Smith and Newport Gwent Dragons lock Cory Hill.Liam Williams and Leigh Halfpenny, meanwhile, swap positions with Williams moving to full-back and Halfpenny on the wing, with flanker Sam Warburton captaining the team.Halfpenny makes his first Wales start as a wing since the 2011 World Cup, and Robertss is reunited with midfield partner Jonathan Davies for a 46th time. Cowboys Jerseys China. Among those players not involved in the matchday 23 as Wales build towards next weeks Cardiff appointment with South Africa are established internationals such as wing George North, fly-half Dan Biggar, prop Gethin Jenkins and lock Luke Charteris.Elsewhere in the team, Anscombe wins his ninth cap, but it will be a first start at fly-half, and Hill makes a full Test debut after going on as a replacement against Australia 12 days ago, when Wales were crushed 32-8.It is an opportunity for some of the players to put their hands up after a disappointing performance against Australia, Howley added. There is also a chance to blood some new players with experienced players around them like Cory Hill alongside Alun Wyn Jones, James King alongside Dan Lydiate and Sam Warburton, and Keelan and Sam (Davies) coming on in an experienced back line.We are playing Liam in his preferred 15 role. I feel it is the best three to play in the back three against Japan. It is as simple as that. It is about seeing the combination of Leigh and Liam playing together.George (North) has played the last two games and, as I have said, it is important we give everyone an opportunity to put their hand up for next week.Wales include three starting line-up survivors from the side beaten by Japan in Tokyo three years ago - Liam Williams, Lloyd Williams and back-row forward James King - but the countries four previous Cardiff encounters saw Wales post a total of 289 points.They (Japan) had a really good win against Georgia last weekend (28-22 in Tbilisi), Howley said. The tries they scored in that game sums up Japan over the last couple of years. They play a high-octane game. They are a great counter-attacking side, and we have to be on our mettle. ' ' '
