MOSCOW -- Russia named 68 athletes on Tuesday it wants to send to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro if its global ban from track and field is lifted.The list approved by the suspended All-Russia Athletic Federation appears to contradict an earlier promise not to send any athletes who have previously been banned for doping offenses.Former world indoor champion triple jumper Yekaterina Koneva makes the list even though she served a ban from 2007-09. Other notable athletes with past doping offenses have been left out.ARAF promised in May not to select former dopers as it tried to persuade the IAAF to lift its suspension. That attempt failed last month when the IAAF upheld the ban.Any potential participant in the Olympics who has been found to have taken banned substances in previous years cannot be a member of the Russian national Olympic team in Rio, the federation said at the time.ARAF said all 68 met Olympic qualifying standards and registered as plaintiffs in the Russian Olympic Committees suit at the Court of Arbitration for Sport aiming to lift the ban on the Russia team. They have also been confirmed by the ARAF main coaching council and presidium, the federation said.CAS is due to hear the claim on July 19 and rule by July 21.Russia was suspended by the IAAF in November after a World Anti-Doping Agency report detailed widespread doping allegedly supported by the Russian state.The list of 68 includes numerous potential medal contenders in Rio such as two-time Olympic pole vault champion Yelena Isinbayeva, world 110-meter hurdles champion Sergei Shubenkov, and Olympic high jump gold medalist Ivan Ukhov.Olympic high jump gold medalist Anna Chicherova was cut from the Rio team after she was provisionally suspended by the IAAF for failing a retest of her sample from the 2008 Olympics, the Russian Olympic Committee has said.In a sign of the damage wrought by Russias doping scandals, the list contains a severely weakened team of race walkers and no 800-meter runners. Russia won gold and bronze in the womens 800 in London, but both Russian medalists from that final were suspended after undercover footage appeared to show them confessing to doping.Numerous other Russian medalists from the 2012 Games have been implicated in doping scandals. Two walkers were stripped of gold and silver medals by a CAS ruling this year, while 3,000 steeplechase champion Yulia Zaripova is set to lose her gold medal after being banned. Discus thrower Darya Pishchalnikova lost her silver medal in 2013. Wholesale Custom Knicks Shirts .

All Blacks coach Steve Hansen has cautioned Wallabies counterpart Michael Cheika to stick to picking his own team for Australias Rugby Championship and Bledisloe Cup Test opener.Hansen and his squad arrived in Australia on Sunday afternoon in preparation for Saturdays game at ANZ Stadium in Sydney.Cheika recently suggested Hansen faced some interesting selection issues, particularly at five-eighth between Aaron Cruden and Beauden Barrett as well as openside flanker between Sam Cane and Ardie Savea.Its good of the Australian coach to start picking our team. Id say hes got enough problems of his own, probably, Hansen said at Sydney Airport.But well pick ours and he can pick his and hell have a lot to say, no doubt.Hansen and Cheika engaged in a waspish exchange in the media in June.The All Blacks mentor suggested Cheika had been bullied in the media by his England counterpart and former clubmate Eddie Jones.Cheika hit back at Hansen, describing the comment as really shallow.I just answered a question, Hansen said in response to being asked whether he had been playing mind games with the Wallabies coach.I got asked about how I thought the series was going. I thinnk the Australian camp got a little bit upset with it.ddddddddddddI left that a long time ago. Im moving on to what weve got to do.He said Cane was a 99 percent chance of being available to play on Saturday despite a recent concussion.Hansen wasnt expecting any major changes to the Wallabies game plan, though he expected their kicking game would improve under newly appointed national skills coach Mick Byrne, who previously held a similar position with the All Blacks.Theyve brought a lot of people back from the northern hemisphere so that gives them a bit more experience and their back three will be good under the high ball, Hansen said.With Mick there theyll have a better kicking game Im sure, but you cant change it too much.Theres a natural way Australia play, so Im assuming they will stick to what they do.Hansen expected Byrne would have already had a strong influence on Australia despite being appointed only three weeks ago.Hes a pretty good coach, Mick. Hes learnt a bit, he taught us a bit, so youve got yourselves a goody there. ' ' '
