LONDON -- Britains anti-doping agency was criticized on Monday for how it handled the case of a doctor who allegedly supplied performance-enhancing drugs to athletes.The findings were announced after an independent investigation into U.K. Anti-Dopings handling of the intelligence it received about London-based doctor Mark Bonar from amateur cyclist Dan Stevens.Andy Ward, a former senior police official, headed the investigation and rebuked UKAD for failing to contact Britains General Medical Council, a regulatory body, to check on the allegations against Bonar.Stevens, who was banned for two years by UKAD for refusing to take a doping test, went to the agency in 2014 with allegations against Bonar in hopes of having his sanction reduced.UKAD did not act on his information, saying the allegations fell outside its jurisdiction because Bonar was not governed by a sport.As a minimum standard of investigation, a simple check with Bonars governing body, the GMC, should have been undertaken to establish whether any other intelligence may exist to support or negate the allegations made by the athlete, the investigation concluded.It is difficult to understand why no contact was in fact made with the GMC when that course of action was suggested on at least seven occasions.Stevens eventually took his allegations to the Sunday Times newspaper, which covertly filmed Bonar claiming to have treated more than 150 athletes with banned substances. The paper published the story in April, claiming that Bonars clients included Premier League soccer players, as well as athletes from other sports. Bonar has since denied any wrongdoing.Wards report cited confusion and lack of clarity in how UKAD deals with dopers who want to reduce their sentences in return for substantial assistance.It described the agencys dismissal of Stevens request for a lesser sanction as harsh and subjective.It is clear that opportunities to gather intelligence, secure evidence, and investigate Bonar have been missed, Wards report said.UKAD chairman David Kenworthy acknowledged the agency made a ghastly mistake in failing to check with the medical council, but defended the agencys overall record.This case has been challenging but as a publicly-funded body it is absolutely correct that UKAD should be held to account, Kenworthy said. The team has been fully cooperative throughout the process and accepts that mistakes were made and lessons must be learned.C.J. Miles Jersey .

At a Manhattan federal court hearing, attorney Jordan Siev said his law office has gotten more evidence nearly every day to support its lawsuit accusing MLB and Selig of going on a "witch hunt" to ruin Rodriguezs reputation and career. He said the defendants went "way over the line.FRISCO, Texas -- For the first time this season, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo has not been ruled out of a game on the Friday before kickoff, but that does not mean he will be active Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers.Romo, who was officially listed as questionable, went through his third straight full practice of the week Friday. It marks the first time since Week 14 of the 2014 season he has been listed as a full participant for three straight practices.After undergoing two back surgeries in 2013, Romo has missed most Wednesday sessions to build up his core strength, coming up with the routine after the second game of the 2014 season.Earlier Friday, coach Jason Garrett said the team had not made a decision as to what Romos role would be. The coaches have a meeting on Saturday night, and sources told ESPNs Adam Schefter and Adam Caplan that Romo is not expected to be active.Rookie Dak Prescott, who has a 7-1 record with 12 touchdown passes and two interceptions, will start. If Romo is inactive, Mark Sanchez will be the backup quarterback. Garrett acknowledged it would be too difficult to carry three quarterbacks on the active roster because of the strain it would put on other positions.If Romo does not dress, this would be the first time since the 2004 season finale that he was healthy and did not play. He was the Cowboys third quarterback against the New York Giants behind Vinny Testaverde and Drew Henson, but the league has since changed the rulees regarding the No.dddddddddddd 3 quarterback. In 2008, he did not play against the St. Louis Rams with a broken pinky finger but he served as Brad Johnsons backup.Romo split the scout-team work this week with Sanchez.While he is medically cleared to go, the Cowboys want to make sure Romo is game ready before he returns to the field in whatever capacity for the first time since last Thanksgiving.Last year circumstance led the Cowboys to play Romo after he suffered a broken left collarbone in the second week of the season. He missed the next seven games, which were all Cowboys losses, before returning Nov. 22 against the Miami Dolphins. He suffered a re-break of the collarbone four days later in a loss to the Carolina Panthers and was done for the season.Romo had the benefit of a full offseason, training camp and preseason work, plus his game and a half of regular-season action to fall back on in his return last year. While he did everything in the offseason program and training camp this season, he played just 16 snaps in the preseason.He completed five of six passes for 60 yards but suffered the compression fracture in his back on the third play from scrimmage against the Seattle Seahawks on Aug. 25. For the better part of a month Romo has increased his conditioning work and over the last three weeks he has done more in practice. ' ' '
