LONDON -- Summer Olympic sports federations said on Tuesday they are ready to deal with individual cases of Russian doping, rather than endorse a total ban on the Russian team for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.The Association of Summer Olympic International Federations, which represents the 28 sports in the games, said it recognized the gravity and extent of the doping activities in Russia as detailed in Mondays report by World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren.The report, which accused Russias sports ministry of overseeing doping of the countrys Olympic athletes on a vast scale, listed 20 summer sports as being part of the cheating conspiracy.WADA and other anti-doping officials urged the International Olympic Committee to consider the unprecedented step of excluding the entire Russian contingent from the Rio Games. The IOC executive board was meeting by teleconference later Tuesday to weigh its options.Any IOC decisions may not be definitive, as the Court of Arbitration for Sport is scheduled to rule on Thursday on Russias appeal against the IAAF ban on its track and field athletes from competing in Rio.The summer sports association made clear it does not support a blanket ban.The association asked WADA to immediately provide all the detailed information to the 20 international federations concerned so that they may begin processing the individual cases under their own separate rules and regulations as sn as possible, and in line with the WADA Code and the Olympic Charter.It is important to focus on the need for individual justice in all these cases.The association said it endorses all federation decisions, including those that take into account collective responsibility of organizations under the IFs governance.That means, rather than applying a total ban, federations could suspend individual Russian sports. Thats already the case with the IAAF, which barred Russias track athletes from the games following previous WADA-commissioned reports into Russian doping.ASOIF fully supports a policy of zero tolerance in bringing all individuals linked to anti-doping violations to justice, the statement said.The summer associations position falls in line with recent comments by IOC President Thomas Bach, who has cited the need to strike a balance between individual justice and collective punishment. He said last week that if summer sports were implicated in the McLaren report, the international federations would have to decide on the eligibility of Russian athletes on an individual basis.McLarens report uncovered a state-run doping scheme that ensnared 28 sports, both summer and winter, and ran from 2011 to 2015.The investigation told of 312 positive tests that Russias deputy minister of sport directed lab workers not to report to WADA. Russias intelligence service, the FSB, was also involved, the report said. It also provided further details of the swapping of doping samples to protect Russian dopers, including medalists, at the 2014 Winter Games in Sochi.Im shocked and devastated by whats been going on, said Paul Melia, the head of Canadas anti-doping organization, after the findings were delivered on Monday in Toronto. And I can only imagine how betrayed the clean athletes of the world are feeling today in the face of this evidence.WADA President Craig Reedie, who is also an IOC vice president, said: WADA insists upon imposition of the most serious consequences to protect clean athletes from the scourge of doping in sport.But a blanket ban is not a sure thing.The decision to deliver one is rife with political ramifications that involve a country that sent the third-most athletes (more than 430) to the previous Summer Olympics, four years ago in London. It puts the IOC in the position of ruling against one of its biggest supporters, a nation that spent more than $50 billion hosting the Winter Games in Sochi just two years ago.The right to participate at the games cannot be stolen from an athlete, who has duly qualified and has not been found guilty of doping, said Bruno Grandi, president of gymnastics international federation. Blanket bans have never been and will never be just.Gymnastics was not among the sports listed in the report. Wrestling, meanwhile, accounted for 28 of the 312 unreported positives. The head of that international federation, Nenad Lalovic of Serbia, told The Associated Press, we will absolutely follow the decisions of the IOC.Whether the IOC issues its decision on Tuesday or simply sets the table for it to come later, it could be appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. The CAS was hearing Russias appeal on Tuesday against the ban on its athletics team. Loui Eriksson Jersey . He just needed to be his best twisting, turning acrobatic self.

PETERSBURG, Fla. DETROIT -- Connor McDavid didnt need a shot on goal Sunday night to deliver for the Pacific Division-leading Edmonton Oilers.McDavid perfectly set up Ryan Nugent-Hopkins for a go-ahead goal late in the second period, giving Edmonton a 2-1 win over the Detroit Red Wings.On a night where the team was more important than the individual and Connor was a little bit quiet, he still found a way to have an impact on maybe the most important play of the game, Oilers coach Todd McLellan said. A lot of guys wouldve shot that puck. He had enough patience to find Nugent for a wide-open goal.McDavid made the goal happen, starting with a faceoff he won in the left circle. After the draw, the 19-year-old center skated toward the net before subtly finding a spot on the bottom of the right circle. McDavid got the puck back, drew three Detroit players, and threaded a pass between two of them to Nugent-Hopkins on the inside of the left circle, where he shot into an empty net.If that pass gets picked off or knocked down, were having a different debate on why I didnt sht it, McDavid said. I saw a play. Lucky it worked out.McDavid has five goals and nine assists in 13 games in his second NHL season, and his skill seems a bigger factor than gd fortune.He made a great play, said Detroits Justin Abdelkader, who scored his teams only goal. He froze everyone.Edmontons Tyler Pitlick scored a tying goal late in the first period on a wraparound and Jonas Gustavsson made 22 saves, helping hold off his former teammates with a one-goal lead in the final period.We playeed real well, especially in the third, Gustavsson said.dddddddddddd We didnt open up, kept it real simple and didnt give them a lot of chances to tie it up. We played a real mature period.The Oilers have won two straight, playing their first set of back-to-back games this season, after losing three in a row.Abdelkader put the Red Wings up 1-0 midway through the first period on a power play, making them the first team to score with an extra skater at home against the Oilers, who rank among the NHL leaders in penalty killing.Jimmy Howard made 26 saves for the Red Wings, who have has lost five straight after winning six consecutive games.We got off to a gd start and got the lead, but then we spent t much time outside, Red Wings captain Henrik Zetterberg said.Detroit pulled Howard with a minute left and a faceoff in the Edmonton end but couldnt score to send the game to overtime.There are t many times where we are passing up shots and trying to take an extra pass, Abdelkader said. Sometimes, the best play in hockey is putting the puck on the net.Game notes Gustavsson, a former Red Wing, played in just his second game this season to give Cam Talbot a break. ...
