Athletics doping: Wada commission wants Russia ban – BBC News
The commission was investigating allegations made in a German TV documentary about Russian athletics last year Russia should be banned from athletics competition, a World Anti-Doping Agency commission report has recommended. Wada’s independent commission examined allegations of doping, cover-ups, and extortion in Russian athletics, which also implicated the IAAF, the sport’s world governing body. It says London 2012 was “sabotaged” by “widespread inaction” against athletes with suspicious doping profiles. Media…
An Overdue Power Shift in College Sports – Wall Street Journal
ENLARGE Nov. 9, 2015 7:14 p.m. ET The silly modern circus of big-time college sports relies upon the tacit agreement of several intertwined parties: 1) the eager television networks lavishing conferences and schools with buckets of money; 2) fancy head coaches who think this money gives them power; 3) trustees and administrators who also think this money gives them power; and 4) athletes who are supposed to think they have…
Seattle sports marketers play to the uniqueness of their fans and teams – The Seattle Times
Inside sports business The thing about marketing in sports versus all other industries is that nobody dons a Heinz ketchup jacket hoping to look cool. That’s what two-dozen attendees were told at the start of a sports marketing workshop last week at Seattle’s downtown School of Visual Concepts. Not only will consumers avoid jackets, jerseys or caps of favored household products as opposed to, say, donning Seahawks gear, they also…
Larry McReynolds: AAA Texas 500 proves again how fickle sport of racing can be – FOXSports.com
I think what we saw Sunday at Texas Motor Speedway just goes to show you what a fickle sport NASCAR can be. It’s one of the few sports where no matter what’s happening you better not walk away or leave early because the outcome is never clear until the checkered flag falls. I say that because it was pretty evident to me that during Sunday’s race that the only driver…
FSB Agents Disguised as Drug Testers Sabotaged the Olympics, Blockbuster … – Daily Beast
LONDON — The Russian security forces were behind a massive drug-cheating program that “sabotaged” the London Olympics in 2012, according to a stunning report by the World Anti-Doping Agency. It has long been suspected that Russian athletes used performance-enhancing drugs. But the allegations published Monday claim that Russia’s FSB—the successor to the KGB—teamed up with state apparatchiks to intimidate and bribe officials into covering up a plot to help Russian…

Sports bodies’ last-ditch effort to protect grass-roots funding – Telegraph.co.uk
The SRA also conducted a poll last month of more than 1,000 people, 75 per cent of who agreed grassroots sport should receive more funding from Government. However, with Chancellor George Osborne close to finalising a comprehensive spending review that will be published on November 25, the campaign may have come too late to make a difference. That could mean tens of millions of pounds being lost to sport just…

NASCAR to drivers: Revenge-style crashes forbidden – SportingNews.com
Call it the Texas corollary to the Sprint Cup doctrine. NASCAR officials told drivers on Sunday they don’t want to see another instance of retaliation at Sunday’s AAA Texas 500. Delivered at the pre-race driver’s meeting, the mandate comes after Matt Kenseth wrecked Joey Logano at Martinsville. It clarifies NASCAR’s stance that hard racing is desired, but within limits.

Fans at speedway ignore TMS, NASCAR requests not to fly Confederate flags – Fort Worth Star Telegram
Charles Ivey climbed to the top of his bus parked on the infield campground at Texas Motor Speedway and proudly hoisted the Confederate battle flag on Thursday afternoon.
