RIO DE JANEIRO -- The Canadian lawyer who accused Russia of operating a state-run doping program is facing a deluge of requests for information on individual athletes implicated in his investigation.Richard McLaren, who was commissioned by the World Anti-Doping Agency, issued a report that accused Russias sports ministry of overseeing doping among Olympic athletes in more than two dozen summer and winter sports.The IOC rejected calls by WADA and other anti-doping bodies to ban Russias entire Olympic team from the Rio de Janeiro Games. Instead, the International Olympic Committee asked individual sports federations to determine which Russian athletes would be cleared to compete.My office has been inundated with requests for information on individual athletes, McLaren said in a statement released late Friday from London, Ontario. The (IOC) decision has resulted in a deluge of requests to provide information to the IFs (international federations); Russian national federations; the Russian Olympic Committee; the Russian Paralympic Committee and individual Russian athletes.McLaren said he has provided information to WADA that names athletes whose urine samples were part of a state-run cover-up.WADA in turn has shared this information with IFs, he said.More than 100 Russian athletes have been barred from the games so far -- including the track and field team banned by the IAAF and more than 30 athletes excluded by other federations since the release of McLarens report. Russias entire weightlifting team was kicked out Friday.Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said Friday that 272 of the countrys original 387-strong team had been approved by international sports federations to compete in Rio.The IOC has said that any Russian athlete with a prior sanction for doping would not be allowed into the games. Anyone implicated in McLarens report would also be excluded, the IOC said.McLaren said his mandate has been extended to finish the investigation and identify any further athletes that might have benefited from such manipulation to conceal positive doping tests.Until now, he said, the focus of his investigation was to look into evidence of a state-dictated program which used the Moscow and Sochi laboratories to cover up doping.It has not been to establish anti-doping rule violation cases against individual athletes, McLaren said, adding that it was not his job to process doping cases against individual athletes.I have, however, received a considerable amount of reliable evidence, which clearly implicates individual athletes in the state-dictated program described in the report, he said. That evidence includes documents supported by the testimony of confidential witnesses and in some cases additional forensic and analytical evidence from the examination of sample bottles and their contents.McLaren said his ongoing investigation includes developing evidence which may be used in the future to sanction individual athletes.At this stage, I will not release any of the specific information I currently have concerning any athletes, he said. To do so would compromise the ongoing investigation. Cheap MLB Jerseys . Dusautoir, the former World Player of the Year, sustained a torn bicep playing for Toulouse in the Heineken Cup on Saturday.

Hargreaves began his career in 2008 with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers and has played with the Edmonton Eskimos and last season with the Saskatchewan Roughriders. ATLANTA -- Nick Chubb left no doubt.Hes fully recovered from that grotesque knee injury.Less than 10 months after going down on a play thats still tough to watch, Chubb ran for 222 yards and a pair of touchdowns to lead No. 18 Georgia to a 33-24 victory over No. 22 North Carolina in Kirby Smarts coaching debut Saturday night.Looking just as dominant as he did before his injury, Chubb carried a staggering 32 times and clinched the Chick-fil-A Kickoff Game victory for Georgia (1-0) on a 55-yard run with 3 1-2 minutes left in the game.That dude doesnt stop, moaned North Carolina defensive lineman Nazair Jones.Chubb said he never doubted his ability to recapture the form that made him a Heisman contender before a tackle at Tennessee midway through last season caused his left knee to buckle in the wrong direction, an injury that looked so bad some wondered if it might be career ending.No way.I felt good the whole game, Chubb said. Give me the ball. I know we have a great team.Georgia also got some promising play from freshman quarterback Jacob Eason , who didnt start but was on the field as the Bulldogs rallied from a 24-14 deficit in the second half.North Carolina (0-1) ripped off 17 straight points, including a pair of touchdowns by T.J. Logan that included a 95-yard kickoff return to start the second half.Then, a pair of pass interference penalties on freshman cornerback Patrice Rene set up a touchdown that got Georgia back in the game, and two more penalties -- one an unsportsmanlike conduct call on coach Larry Fedora -- backed up the Tar Heels deep in their own territory, leading to a safety when Elijah Hood caught a short pass in the end zone and was quickly knocked down.We got the penalty on a lineman downfield. I was questioning the call. The guy didnt like what I said, so he threw a flag on me, Fedora said. Thats nobodys fault but mine.Fifth-year senior Greyson Lambert started at quarterback for Georgia, but Eason -- a touted freshman Georgia fans were clamoring to see -- hooked up with Isaiah McKenzie on a 51-yard pass that set up William Hams go-ahead, 29-yard field goal with 5:27 remaining.Smart, the longtime Alabama defensive coordinator, was coaching a team of his own for the first time. He was hired after the Bulldogs dumped Mark Richt, who wound up at Miami after 15 years leading Georgia.It felt really weird, Smart said, chuckling. A comedy of errrors.ddddddddddddI had to flip over on my headphones, trying to figure out who I was talking to. That was different for me. I was trying to find the special teams. I didnt feel like I was coaching my players, which I always felt was my best asset. It was a unique experience for me that I will build on and learn from.GEORGIAS QB QUESTIONEason looks poised to take over the Georgia quarterback job, but Smart isnt ready to make the call just yet.The freshman was 8 of 12 for 131 yards and a touchdown, while Lambert went 5 of 8 for 54 yards. The fifth-year senior also was sacked three times.There is no plan right now, said Smart, who didnt name a starter until two days before the game. Im sure all you guys (in the media) will want to know whos going to start the next game, and well start it all over again.THE TAKEAWAYNorth Carolina: The Tar Heels were eager for a signature win over a major-conference foe, but too many silly mistakes -- and that one disputed penalty -- worked against them. Despite 11 wins a year ago, they have yet to show they are ready to challenge Clemson and Florida State in the Atlantic Coast Conference.Georgia: The play of Chubb and Eason gives the Bulldogs plenty of reason to feel hopeful about contending in the Southeastern Conference East, especially after a shaky showing by favored Tennessee in its season opener. When running back Sony Michel returns from a broken left forearm sustained in an ATV accident -- and he sure looked good in pregame warmups -- the Bulldogs will have another offensive weapon.POLL IMPLICATIONSNorth Carolina: The Tar Heels are likely to drop out when the new rankings are unveiled Tuesday.Georgia: The Bulldogs should move up a spot and could jump a couple of teams that beat lesser opponents in Week 1.UP NEXTNorth Carolina: The Tar Heels hit the road again next Saturday to face Big Ten school Illinois. It will be their first visit to Champaign since 1971. North Carolina leads the series 3-0, including last years 48-14 rout in Chapel Hill.Georgia: The Bulldogs take big step down in competition when they host FCS school Nicholls State between the hedges.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .
