LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- After months of barbs and sparring between Olympic and anti-doping officials, World Anti-Doping Agency president Craig Reedie expects an end to public conflict.The rift has widened since July, when a WADA-commissioned report detailed a state-backed doping program in Russia for the 2014 Sochi Olympics and across summer and winter sports.The International Olympic Committees leadership rejected WADAs call to ban all Russian teams from the Rio de Janeiro Games, and the agency has since seemed to have fewer allies in world sports.Reedie told The Associated Press on Wednesday he sensed a truce after two days of WADA-hosted meetings with Olympic officials that worked beyond my expectations.Any public criticism that there has been, certainly from our side and I am sure now from the Olympic movement side, will stop, said the WADA president, who was also an IOC executive board member in the tense lead-in to Rio.WADAs role in anti-doping will be debated at an Olympic summit in Lausanne on Oct. 8, and IOC President Thomas Bach has called upon his members to bring fresh ideas.Still, asked if WADA was under threat, Reedie says: I would be very surprised. Why would it be?We have been under pressure and strain because of cheating in the biggest country in the world, Reedie said. It shook the IOC, it shook the (international sports federations), it shook us. We move on.The Russian evidence in Canadian lawyer Richard McLarens investigation will be revisited, likely within weeks, when his final report is published.Late October is once more the target for publication, despite McLaren saying last week it was several months away as he analyzes evidence of corruption at the Sochi Olympics and in Russian winter sports and soccer.WADA director general Olivier Niggli told The AP on Wednesday that he spoke with McLaren over the weekend and confirmed the original deadline.It might be early November. This is not prolonging by several months, Niggli said.That timetable would allow WADA to digest the reports impact before Nov. 19-20 meetings of its foundation board and executive committee in Glasgow, Scotland.Reedie chaired a meeting of the WADA executive Wednesday that included two IOC board members -- Ugur Erdener of Turkey and Gian Franco Kasper of Switzerland -- plus the Olympic bodys medical director, Richard Budgett.Erdener and Budgett declined to comment to The AP after the meeting.While WADA has seemed under attack by the Olympic family, it has been the victim of a cyberattack on its database of athletes private medical records. WADA has said hackers linked to Russia are responsible for the leaks of dozens of athletes data which began last week.Niggli said the Montreal-based agency is working with the FBI and RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) on the case.Wholesale Jerseys Online .

I want to see an England team that is brave in possession of the ball and prepared to take chances, prepared to take?risks in one versus one situations, even though I know they wont always succeed in those moments.In defender John Stones, Southgate has a player who embodies this attitude.Stones is a ball-playing center back who moved to Manchester City in August for 47.5 million pounds (then $62 million), making him the second-most expensive defender in football history. He fit the bill for new City coach Pep Guardiola, who likes his teams to have defenders who are comfortable on the ball and can start attacks from the back.Southgate is similar in that regard and adopted a similar playing style as manager of Englands under-21 squad, so its no wonder he has made Stones the centerpiece of Englands defense in his brief time in charge of the senior team.England hasnt conceded a goal thus far under Southgate, although the opponents have been mediocre at best in Malta, Slovakia and Scotland.Spain will offer a much tougher test. As masters of playing the ball out from the back, the Spanish will also serve as a good example to their England counterparts of how to execute such an approach.Some have even compared the play of the 22-year-old Stones to that of Spain defender Gerard Pique, who will miss Tuuesdays game because of an ankle injury.ddddddddddddIn the 3-0 win over Scotland on Friday, Stones determination to play out from the back saw him give the ball away in a dangerous position early on. He also took perhaps unnecessary risks around the edge of his own box in an attempt to beat Scotlands high press.At the start of the year, Stones -- then playing for Everton -- performed three Cruyff turns around his box while being challenged for the ball in a Premier League match against Tottenham. He earned a free kick and gave a calm down gesture to the fans who were audibly unnerved by Stones risk-taking.Its the only way he knows.Its understandable that people will say things about the way I play, that some people arent going to like me, Stones said last month. But this is how I want to play.Given his style, Stones will always make errors. One of them occurred in a 1-1 draw against Southampton last month when his pass to a teammate at the edge of Citys area was intercepted by Nathan Redmond, who scored.Theres also a concern that when playing for his national team, Stones doesnt have a goalkeeper or the defensive players alongside him with strong enough technique and composure to ensure that playing out from the back is the right optionSouthgate isnt for wavering, though. He believes Stones can have as successful a career as Pique and Germany center backs Mats Hummels and Jerome Boateng, and that Stones needs encouragement rather than criticism.For years, weve talked about not being able to play out from the back, Southgate said of the England psyche. If were to be different, if were to progress, then we have to encourage players.What weve got to remember is hes 22. In central defensive terms, its nothing. If we want to have a Hummels, a Boateng, a Pique ... I think hes got the perfect manager (in Guardiola) to work with and to hone, and for all of our defenders, thats what we want to encourage.
