Russia Not Allowed to Compete in Paralympics

We"re The Superhumans | Rio Paralympics 2016 Trailer

RIO DE JANEIRO Paralympics officials have done what Olympics officials chose not to do, barring all Russian athletes from their Games after an elaborate cheating scheme.

The head of the International Paralympic Committee, Philip Craven, on Sunday decried Russias thirst for glory and medals over morals mentality. He called the government-coordinated cover-up of doping among Russias top disabled athletes abominable.

The committee barred the country from global competition by a unanimous vote; Paralympics officials had announced their intention to do so last month. The decision, issued Sunday, was effective immediately, Mr. Craven said.

Russias Paralympic Committee said it planned to appeal the decision within 21 days to world sports arbitration court in Switzerland.

In choosing what the Olympic committee president called the nuclear option, Paralympic officials have broken from their Olympic counterparts, who recently expressed approval, 85 to 1, of not barring all Russian athletes from the Olympics.

The Paralympic Games begin here on Sept. 7. At the last Games, hosted by Russia in Sochi, Russia had the largest delegation. The country captured a majority of the medals, winning 80. Germany, the country with the next-highest medal count, won 15.

The chemist who ran drug-testing in Sochi said he swapped out the urine of Russias top Olympians and Paralympians who were doping at those competitions. He said he did so at the direction of government officials and with help from Russias internal intelligence service. A subsequent investigation confirmed that account, producing evidence that cover-ups of illegal drug use dated to 2012, according to the World Anti-Doping Agency.

In choosing what the Olympic committee president called the nuclear option, Paralympic officials have very unusually broken from their Olympic counterparts, who this week expressed approval, 85 to 1, of not barring all Russian athletes from the Olympics.

Many Olympic officials said doping problems went beyond Russia. They called for broad reform and not the punishment of a single country.

Mr. Craven, however, said Sunday that Russias doping violations were unique. This situation is not about athletes cheating a system, he said, but about a state-run system that is cheating the athletes.

Antidoping officials who had criticized the Olympic committee for a lack of leadership in allowing a sizable Russian delegation to compete here praised Paralympic officials Sunday.

Their unanimous decision goes a long way towards inspiring us all, said Travis Tygart, head of the United States Anti-Doping Agency. Most importantly clean athletes.

2016 Rio Olympics: Michael Phelps earns 23rd medal as US relay team wins gold

Team USA Basketball 2016 Destroys China - Rio Olympics 2016

The United States, aided by a dominant second leg from Michael Phelps, earned the gold medal in the men"s 4x100-meter freestyle relay, avenging their painful loss to France in 2012. Team USA, which consisted of Phelps, Caeleb Dressel, Ryan Held and Nathan Adrian, beat France by 0.61 seconds to take back the gold.

With the win, Phelps extends his records to 23 Olympic medals, 19 golds.

Adrian, who was the anchor for the U.S. relay team, earned his fourth Olympic gold medal. He, along with Phelps, were the two returnees from the 2012 relay team that finished with the silver. Dressel and Held each are first-time gold medalists, as both made their Olympic debuts in Rio.

The relay, with France considered the favorites as defending Olympic champions coming in, had multiple dramatic points early, but the U.S. left little doubt late.

After Dressel kept it extremely close on the first leg, the U.S. trailed France by .02 seconds. Phelps was next in the water and the U.S. still trailed France by 0.13 seconds after the first 50 meters of the second leg. That was when the most decorated athlete in Olympic history made his big move and opened up a lead of 1.03 seconds over Australia, which briefly overtook the French team.

The U.S. never trailed again as Held helped his team maintain a 0.47 second advantage over the French after the third leg. Adrian brought it home, holding off a late push by France to finish with an official time of 3:09:92. Australia finished with the bronze.

Before Sunday, it was not clear if Phelps would definitely swim the relay. Reports soon surfaced that he was expected to be in and the veteran made no secret that he desired a spot in this event. The 31-year-old Olympic legend made the most of the opportunity.

Four of Phelps" 23 medals have come in the 4x100-meter freestyle, an event that has historically been owned by American men. This was only his second gold medal in this event, however, having also won in the dramatic relay in 2008 at Beijing. He also has a bronze from 2004 and 2012"s silver.

"We wanted to bring that relay back to American soil," Phelps told NBC after the race. "We had a sour taste in our mouth from 2012. I"m glad that"s back on our soil."

In what is probably (maybe?) his final Olympics, Phelps got a big win in an event that clearly meant a lot to him and he had a big hand in it.

While Phelps will get the headlines, each of Team USA"s swimmers had a big hand in this win. That includes the quartet that made sure the U.S. qualified for the final in one of the most exciting events in swimming.

Held was the only American swimmer in the finals to have also participated in Sunday morning"s preliminary heat. He, along with Blake Pieroni, Jimmy Feigen and Anthony Ervin helped put the U.S. in position to win gold with their preliminary-round performance.

According to USA Swimming, the gold in the men"s relay represented the 300th Olympic medal earned by American men"s swimmers.

Salt & Sauce Intimates with Sahara Ray....
Does Sahara Ray want a serious relationship with Justin Bieber? JBs skinny dipping buddy revealed in an interviewher plans to settle down and have kids, and she may have been hinting that Justin is the one to do that with! See what she said right here!

Australia is where I want to end up and I want to have kids here, Saharatold The Herald Sun. Its more chilled and relaxed and even on shoots, its more about quality than quantity.

Waaaait a minuteAustralia? We knew that the 23-year-old was born and raised in the country, but Justin has never talked about moving halfway across the world. Would Canada-born Justin really settle down in the Land Down Under?!

Okay, before we get carried away, heresthe scoop on this interview: Its old. Sahara said all of this when talkingto the Herald Sun last year, according to Daily Mail, but it wasnt until Aug. 2 that the interview was actually published coincidentallyjust three daysbefore Sahara was spotted completely n***d with Justin!

In case you missed the crazy pics, Justin and Sahara let it all hang out whileexploring Hawaii together, with Sahara going completely t*****s and Justin baring everything! Although its still unclear when these n**e pics were taken, its clear that theressomething going on between these two since they were so willing to be n***d around each other!So maybe Sahara will be able to convince Justin to take his life down to Australia after all?

Click To See Pics From Justin & Jaydes n***d Vacation

Considering Justin was seemingly not even in the picture when Sahara talked abouthaving kids and settling down, were thinking its pretty unlikely that things are that serious between them at least not yet. And frankly, this isnt the first girl Justin has gone n***d with while on vacation (remember Jayde Pierce?), so who knows when or with who the Biebs will be settling down anyway. We suppose time will only tell!

Jose Mourinho sets Man Utd timeline for Paul Pogba deal, takes Wenger shot

Officiel : Paul Pogba retourne à Manchester United
Jose Mourinho addresses the signings at Man United thus far, hinting at one final signing to come. On this day in 2012 Paul Pogba left Manchester United for Juventus. Is he close to a return to Old Trafford? ESPN FC"s Gab Marcotti provides an update on the Paul Pogba transfer saga.

Jose Mourinho said he hoped to have his Manchester United squad "closed" by next week while also appearing to take another swipe at Arsene Wenger for speaking out during the transfer window.

Paul Pogba"s transfer saga has dragged on despite multiple reports this week the deal is moving closer to completion.

Mourinho has said his team is missing one more piece in the midfield, though he declined on Wednesday to identify Pogba, and took the same tack in a news conference on Friday.

"I don"t like to speak about other players. Other managers like to do that," Mourinho said. "What matters to me is only what happens in my house, not the house of my neighbour.

"Pogba is a Juventus player until officially he isn"t. It stays like this."

But with one week to go before the start of the Premier League season, the manager did provide a timeline for the deal to possibly be completed.

"Honestly, the market closes on Aug. 31, but I think my club is trying to do everything to close our market before Aug. 14," he said. "So hopefully be next week we will have our squad closed."

Mourinho has had a fraught relationship with counterpart Wenger in the past, describing the Frenchman as a "specialist in failure" in 2014.

And the Portuguese issued another veiled shot at his rival after the Arsenal boss labelled Pogba"s expected 100 million transfer fee "completely crazy," and called other team"s spending "scary."

"There are things that when I do [them], it is not ethical but when others do, nobody says that and everything is normal," Mourinho said.

"But the reality is I don"t speak about the others. They can do what they want."

Jose Mourinho"s Man United squad open the Premier League on Aug. 14 at Bournemouth.

Mourinho has already made three additions in his first summer at Old Trafford, signing defender Eric Bailly, midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryanand striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and the manager remained confident that the final piece would fall into place.

"We got a young central defender that needs time to be a top one, but he has top potential and we believe a lot in him," Mourinho said. "We brought Micki here, a player that we know the quality he has.

"We got a super striker [in Zlatan] and we are going to get a very good midfield player, so I am happy with the balance of my squad, I"m happy with the effort that the club has, and is still putting in for us."

Even if Pogba does join up this month he is unlikely to be fully fit following an extended holiday in the United States, and Mourinho said the rest of his players have varying levels of fitness depending on when they rejoined the club.

"One thing is to start five weeks ago, like some of them, and another thing is to start one week ago -- it is completely different," he said. "But the way we work we try to bring them on as fast as we can.

"I won"t say to top form but to a level where they are ready to compete. That is the reality of modern football."

The manager also said Chris Smalling and Tim Fosu-Mensah are "fine" despite neither featuring in preseason games to this point.

French Gymnast Breaks Leg In Most Gruesome Way And People Are Still Reeling

French Gymnast Samir Ait Said Breaks His Leg Rio Olympics 2016 Video

So, Im about to show you a pretty bad injury received by FrenchOlympic gymnast Samir Ait Said as he attempted the vault at the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Now, I know youre not going to believe me when I say you will not be able to unsee Saids injury and you will not be able to unhear his leg bone breaking.

Because you wont believe me even though you should Im just going to show you how people on Twitter reacted when someone posted a clip of the injury.

You can see that the reactions range from the horrified to the shocked and everything in between.

So, once again, Im warning you; the video is pretty graphic, like, theres no visible blood, but youre going to shout in shock and/or look away when you see (and hear) the injury happen.

I did warn you! Check out the look on another gymnasts face from a different newscast.

That, my friends, is a look of pure shock if Ive ever seen one. This other gymnast knows just how serious and likely career-ending that injury is.

Man, I cant even imagine what it took to break Saidsleg. The 26-year-old Olympians probably been training his hardest for months, probably more like years, for this moment, and in one move of extreme force, his Olympic test is over.

In one newscast, the announcer was completely shocked. You know the announcer has seen some serious stuff, but all he can muster in the seconds after the injury is some kind of repeated oof noise.

According to Daily Mail, Said squirmed in pain while medical officials tried to help him. He was reportedly eventually wheeled out and raised his arm to acknowledge the support of the shocked crowd.
