Wholesale Hockey Jerseys Store .The Russian Olympic Committee and track and fields world governing body, the IAAF, said Sunday that Russias appeal on behalf of 68 athletes would be heard July 19 at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.The parties have agreed to an expedited procedure which should conclude on 21 July 2016 with the issuance of the final decision, CAS said in a statement Monday.The Olympics open in Rio de Janeiro on Aug. 5.The appeal focuses on a challenge to the rule that athletes cannot compete internationally if their national track and field federation is suspended, as Russias is. It does not seek to overturn the suspension of Russias federation.CAS said the appeal seeks to secure Olympic participation for any Russian athlete who is not currently the subject of any period of ineligibility for the commission of an anti-doping rule violation.Russian officials have said the IAAF ban unfairly excludes athletes who have not been linked to doping. The IAAF, however, says the entire Russian system has been corrupted by widespread doping, and it is impossible to prove who is clean.The Russian committees legal head, Alexandra Brilliantova, said the 68 athletes covered by the appeal were of absolutely flawless reputation, not involved in doping scandals, not linked to certain coaches.Brilliantova acknowledged the list had been cut from 69 athletes after Olympic high jump champion Anna Chicherova was provisionally suspended after her 2008 Olympic sample came back positive in retesting.The 68, chosen by the suspended Russian track federation, were also in an international testing pool and met relevant qualifying standards in their events, Brilliantova said.The IAAF suspended Russia in November after a World Anti-Doping Agency report detailed widespread, state-sponsored doping in Russian track and field. The ban was upheld by the IAAF in a vote last monthThe IAAF approved a new rule allowing Russians to apply to compete as neutral athletes in Rio if they can show they have been based outside the country and subject to testing from a respected, non-Russian anti-doping agency.More than 80 Russians have applied for this procedure but only a handful are likely to be eligible.The IAAF has already approved an application from Russian athlete and whistleblower Yulia Stepanova, whose testimony of doping within the Russian team, including undercover footage of apparent doping confessions, formed an important part of the evidence against Russia in the WADA investigation.Stepanova is due to return to competition Wednesday at the European championships in Amsterdam, racing in the 800 meters as a neutral athlete not representing a particular country.

Keane beat Crew goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum to the lower right corner in the 85th minute and again in the second minute of stoppage to give the Galaxy (8-7-3) just their third win in their last eight matches. The Galaxy outshot Columbus 23-8, but were struggling to take advantage of chances. "We fought hard to try to win the game and were fortunate to capitalize on two penalty kicks," Galaxy coach Bruce Arena said. "On the night, we played OK, but we can certainly be accused of not finishing our chances and putting ourselves in poor position, which certainly happened. We just had to battle and try to create some chances at the end, and we were fortunate to get a couple calls out of it that made a difference." Bernardo Anor put the Crew (5-8-5) on the scoreboard in the 78th-minute, heading Federico Higuains free kick from near midfield and looping the ball from the top of the box into the upper-right corner.

Referee Sorin Stoica called Gruenebaum for tripping Jose Villarreal in the box for the first penalty, and Anor was whistled for knocking down Keane as he awaited a cross for the second. The Crew disagreed with both calls. "Unfortunately for us, the referee called it," Columbus coach Robert Warzycha said. "From my point of view, its difficult to judge. What I can tell you is (Gruenebaum) said he didnt initiate contact, then on the second penalty (Anor) said he was just going for the ball. The referee called both of them, and thats the game, unfortunately." Dominic Oduro nearly scored for Columbus in the 88th minute, but Todd Dunivant cleared it off the goal line, and Keane struck the crossbar for the Galaxy moments later. ' ' '
