CHESTE, Spain -- Jorge Lorenzo of Spain won the season-ending Valencia Moto Grand Prix on Sunday, ending a 12-race winless streak in his final event before switching from Yamaha to rival Ducati.Lorenzo won from pole position, finishing ahead of champion Marc Marquez, Andrea Iannone and Valentino Rossi. The three-time champion, who hadnt won since the Italian GP in May, will be joining Ducati next year after nine seasons with Yamaha.This was my final gift to Yamaha, Lorenzo said.Marquez, who was crowned world champion two races ago, finished only a second behind Lorenzo after recovering from a poor start that dropped him from second to seventh by the first turn at the Valencia track in southern Spain.The biggest problem of the race was the start, I lost a lot of positions, Marquez said. But then it wasnt so difficult to overtake. I tried to stay calm and attack. With a couple more laps maybe I could have made the pass for the win.Lorenzo, in his 250th grand prix start, said he worried about losing the victory toward the end.I suffered those last 10 laps, he said. I knew he (Marquez) was attacking so I was pushing to the limit.Rossi, who finished second in the riders championship, ahead of Lorenzo, attracted most of the attention a few hours before the race when a video released on social media showed him using his left foot to shove a woman out of his way while he rode a non-racing motorcycle in the paddock.Dani Pedrosa fell out of contention after losing control of his bike and falling while running seventh early in the race.Johann Zarco won the Moto2 finale, while Brad Binder rallied from 22nd to secure victory in the season-ending event in Moto3. Zarco and Binder had already secured the titles in their respective series. David Fales Jersey .

Olympic champion and multiple world record holder Wang Junxia is said to have written a letter to a Chinese journalist, in which she admits being involved in a state-sponsored doping regime under the infamous Ma Junren, coach of Chinas Mas Army of runners.Nine of Wangs team-mates reportedly signed the letter which, if verified, could result in the 10,000m record being scrapped - an action which would affect the race Britains Jo Pavey aims to run at the Rio Olympics. The IAAF confirmed actions are being taken to verify the letters validity. In a statement, it said: The CCTV (Chinese State Media) story confirms the existence of the letter allegedly written to the journalist only became known yesterday.Therefore the IAAFs first action must be to verify that the letter is genuine. In this respect, the IAAF has asked the Chinese Athletics Association to assist it in that process. In any case, IAAF Competition Rule 263.3 (e) note (ii) clearly states that if anyone makes an admission of guilt, the IAAF can take action. Chinese coach Ma Junren during track and field trials in 2000 If an athlete has admitted that, at some time prior to achieving a world record, he had used or taken advantage of a substance or technique prohibited at that time, then, subject to the advice of the Medical and Anti-Doping Commission, such record will not continue to be regarded as a world record by the IAAF.The reports further strengthen claims of widespread corruption within the world of athletics, less than a fortnight after Russias Olympic Committee banned four athletes for doping violations based on documents handed over by the IAAF.Russian athletics is currently embroiled in scandal following a bombshell report by a World Anti-Doping Agency independent commission alleging state-sponsored doping and mass corruption in the sport. IAAF council must have been aware of the scale of doping in athletics, according to the second part of the World Anti Doping Agencys independent report In the letter addressed to reporter Zhao Yu, who published a book titled An Investigation of Mas Army in 1997, Junxia is reported to have said: It is absolutely true that Ma forced us to take large doses of illegal drugs.dddddddddddd We were sad when we revealed this to you, and seriously worried that might impair Chinas reputation, as well as it might devalue the gold medals we won. But we must disclose these criminal behaviours because we dont want the same things happen to the next generation.Junxia knocked 42 seconds off the previous best when she set the 10,000m world record of 29 minutes 31.78 seconds at the Chinese National Games in September 1993. Five days later at the same meeting, she ran 8:06.11 for a new 3,000m world record. Also See: IAAF denies Russian doping co
