BATON ROUGE, La. -- Louisiana State Universitys tiger mascot has an estimated one to two months to live, now that a rare form of cancer has spread across its body, a schl veterinarian said Wednesday.Dr. David Baker, of the LSU Schl of Veterinary Medicine, said a tumor found earlier this year in the tigers skull has grown despite radiation treatment. A CT scan and physical exam of Mike VI on Monday showed its cancer has spread to the base of its neck, its lungs and right leg.All of these findings carry a very grave prognosis, Baker said. Our current plan is to give the LSU community time to say their gdbyes to Mike. He will be turned out in his yard each day as usual, so long as his condition allows.Baker said Mike will be euthanized when the time comes, to prevent the animal from suffering.Right now, his behavior and attitude are very normal. I tell people he doesnt know how sick he is, Baker said.Baker also said LSU has asked him to begin searching animal rescue facilities for a Mike VII.We intend to obtain a young male tiger in need of a gd home, he added. So many of these facilities take on perhaps more animals really than they can manage.LSU announced in May that the tiger had been diagnosed with a rare and inoperable form of cancer. At the time, veterinarians said treating its spindle cell sarcoma with radiation therapy could extend the 10-year-old tigers life by one or two more years.Last month, LSU announced that Mike VI wont take the field during home ftball games this season, and instead will remain in its campus habitat.The 420-pound tiger was 2 years old when it arrived at LSU, donated by an Indiana animal sanctuary. It lives in a 15,000-square-ft enclosure and yard next to Tiger Stadium.LSU says Mike is one of only two live tiger college mascots in the U.S. and the only one living on a college campus.Baker said LSUs athletic department has covered the costs of Mikes cancer treatment, but he said he didnt have a dollar estimate. kiestore.com/Jets-Jamal-Adams-Jersey/" target="_blank">Jamal Adams Womens Jersey .

Riess put his final opponent Jay Farber all-in with an Ace-King.Chiefs coach Dave Rennie angrily denied cheating in the dying minutes of his sides nail-biting Super Rugby win over the Hurricanes last weekend. The Chiefs stayed top of the table after scraping a 28-27 win but the match went to uncontested scrums for the last five minutes after tighthead prop Siate Tokolahi was injured battling the Hurricanes dominant pack.Canes skipper Dane Coles remarked to referee Craig Joubert at the time that it was an amazing coincidence the injury came when the home sides scrum was on top. Then a New Zealand radio station posted a video on Facebk showing Tokolahi apparently running freely from a scrum and a lineout with no contact from any other player before going down injured.Rennie, who has been touted as a possible future All Blacks coach, said Tokolahi was genuinely injured and denied his departure was a tactical move.Im bldy angry because theyre challenging our integrity, he told Radio Sport.Weve got two injured tighthead props and that forced us to go down to 14 players... it happens, you dont want it to happen but you have to deal with it.Under the rules of rugby, if a member of the tight five has to leave the field and a properly trained replacement is not available, then scrums are not contested as a safety measure. Sean Fitzpatrick selects the biggest and hardest hits from round nine of Super Rugby Its such a rarity, Ive had 78 games in charge of the Chiefs and its the first time weve gone to golden oldie [uncontested] scrums, he said.ddddddddddddTokolahi has been named on the bench for Fridays match against the Sharks but Rennie said that should not cast doubt on the seriousness of the injury he suffered against the Hurricanes.A lot of guys go off injured and front up the next week, he said.Watch the Chiefs v Sharks live on Sky Sports 1 HD on Friday from 8.30am.
