Das Team » r the Olympics after a sixth crew was disqual

SAN DIEGO -- The San Diego Chargers waived quarterback Zach Mettenberger as part of the teams efforts to get down to 75 players by the 4 p.m. ET deadline Tuesday.The move was one of several announced by the Chargers on Tuesday. San Diego received a roster exemption for first-round pick?Joey Bosa, who just signed on Monday, so the Chargers roster is at 76?players.Mettenberger had been outplayed by undrafted rookie Mike Bercovici during training camp, and he did not play in the past two preseason games for the Chargers.The Chargers claimed Mettenberger off waivers after the Tennessee Titans released him in May. A sixth-round selection in the 2014 draft, Mettenberger finished 0-10 as a starter in Tennessee.Mettenberger had a relationship with Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt from his time as the Titans head coach. Whisenhunt had a hand in selecting the LSU product.Mettenberger, 25, was brought in to compete for the No. 2 quarterback job with Kellen Clemens, but that competition never really materialized.The Chargers were enamored with Mettenbergers physical tools -- hes 6-5 and 225 pounds -- but it did not translate to production on the field.In his only preseason action, Mettenberger completed 2 of 8 passes for 22 yards, with no touchdowns and one interception against Tennessee. He also was sacked twice.The Chargers now have three quarterbacks on the roster: starter Philip Rivers, Clemens and Bercovici. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redskins-Niles-Paul-Jersey/ . -- Lou Brocks shoulder-to-shoulder collision with Bill Freehan during the 1968 World Series and Pete Roses bruising hit on Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game could become relics of baseball history, like the dead-ball era. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redskins-Doug-Williams-Jersey/ .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play. http://www.redskinsrookiestore.com/Redskins-Vernon-Davis-Jersey/ .

MOSCOW -- Russias top Olympic official expects a final decision by Sunday on whether the entire Russian team will be banned from next months games in Rio de Janeiro over allegations of state-sponsored doping.The IOC is examining the legal options of a blanket ban following a report by World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren that accused Russias sports ministry of overseeing doping of the countrys Olympic athletes.The issue will be finally resolved by the end of this week, probably on Sunday, Russian Olympic Committee president Alexander Zhukov said Wednesday at a meeting of the ROC.Zhukov said his committee did not discuss the McLaren report at its meeting, although he also did not rule out legal action if Russia is hit with a total ban from the games.The Court of Arbitration for Sport will issue its verdict Thursday on Russias appeal to overturn the IAAF ban on its track and field athletes for the games. The IOC will take that ruling into account before making its own decision.Zhukov said he was hopeful of winning the appeal, adding that Russias plans for the Olympics assumed the track and field team would be allowed to compete. Russia plans to send a total of 387 athletes, including 68 in track and field, he said.Of course we hope for a CAS ruling in our favor, Zhukov told state TV. It would be, Id say, a serious precedent for the other federations decisions.Regardless of how the various doping-related cases turn out, Zhukov said a Russian Olympic boycott was out of the question.These boycotts just lead to a breakup of the Olympic movement, he said. I think that Russia will never take part in any boycott.The Soviet Union boycotted the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, retaliating for the U.S.-led boycott of the 1980 Games in Moscow that followed the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.Earlier Wednesday, Russiaan President Vladimir Putins spokesman said a meeting between Putin and Russias Olympic athletes, previously scheduled for Thursday, would no longer take place.ddddddddddddThe IOC executive board held a meeting by teleconference on Tuesday to consider its steps in the wake of the McLaren report, which found that 28 summer and winter Olympic sports were affected by state-operated cheating in Russia.WADA and other anti-doping officials urged the IOC to consider the unprecedented step of excluding the entire Russian team from the Rio Games.The IOC said it will explore the legal options with regard to a collective ban of all Russian athletes for the Olympic Games 2016 versus the right to individual justice.The IOC also started disciplinary action against Russian sports ministry officials and others implicated in McLarens report, and said they would be denied accreditation for the Rio Games. The list includes Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko.The IOC can also let individual international federations decide to ban Russians in their own sports.The international rowing federation said Wednesday it was investigating whether Russian rowers places at the Rio Olympics could be reallocated to athletes from other countries if there would be a blanket ban on the Russian team or any other ban.Russia has five rowing crews entered for the Olympics after a sixth crew was disqualified earlier this month for a doping violation in qualifying.World Rowing also said it is undertaking a complete review of testing of Russian rowers since 2011 and has asked WADA for any evidence related to doping by Russian rowers. The McLaren report alleged 11 failed drug tests in rowing had been covered up by Russian officials.
