DOHA, Qatar -- The IOC is backing Craig Reedies bid for a new three-year term as president of the World Anti-Doping Agency, despite the tensions that broke out between the two sides over the Russian doping scandal.The support for Reedie to continue in his role came after he assured the International Olympic Committee that he would respect the rules and responsibilities of WADA and its stakeholders, suggesting the agency will refrain in the future from publicly calling for a nation to be barred from the Olympics, as it did with Russia before the games in Rio de Janeiro.Reedie, a Briton who has been WADA president since 2013, is up for re-election at agency meetings in Glasgow, Scotland, next weekend. No other candidates have been put forward.The backing for Reedie was contained in a letter from the IOC to all of its 98 members. A copy of the letter was obtained Sunday by The Associated Press.The letter was sent following a private meeting of the IOC executive board on Thursday in Lausanne, Switzerland. Reedie briefed the board at that meeting.Sir Craig Reedie committed to respect the Olympic Charter and respect the rules and responsibilities of WADA and its stakeholders, including the catalogue of points put forward by the Olympic Movement three years ago, the letter said.On this basis, the IOC will encourage the Olympic Movement representatives on the WADA foundation board to approve the re-election of Sir Craig Reedie as WADA President, as well as inviting them to speak to their government counterparts concerning a reform of the system for electing the WADA President.Under current rules, a WADA president is elected for three years, with the option of a second three-year term. The presidency rotates between representatives of governments and sporting bodies.WADA and the IOC came into sharp conflict before and during the Rio Games following a report by WADA investigator Richard McLaren that detailed state-sponsored doping in Russia, including manipulation of samples at the 2014 Sochi Winter Games and cover-ups of positive tests across dozens of summer and winter Olympic sports.WADA recommended that the entire Russian team be excluded from Rio. The IOC rejected the proposal and instead let international sports federations decide which athletes should be eligible to compete.During meetings in Rio, IOC members accused WADA of failing to act sooner on Russian doping and criticized the agency for releasing the McLaren report so close to the games.The sides appeared to bury the hatchet last month at an Olympic summit in Lausanne, where IOC leaders backed WADA to continue to oversee worldwide anti-doping efforts and gave the agency increased powers to lead the fight. All parties agreed that an independent body under WADAs umbrella should be set up to carry out global drug-testing.Critics have accused Reedie of having a conflict of interest in his IOC and WADA roles. In addition to WADA president, he was an IOC vice president and member of the rule-making executive board until the Rio Games. However, Reedies term as vice president and board member has expired, and he is now a regular IOC member without a policy-making role.The IOC letter also said the board agreed to a request from Reedie to match government contributions and provide $500,000 to the agencys special investigations fund. It said this was on condition that WADA provides a detailed breakdown of costs of McLarens upcoming final report and that McLaren actively cooperates with two separate IOC investigations into Russian doping.McLarens latest report, which is expected to focus on doping at the Sochi Games, has been delayed until next month, which the IOC said makes cooperation more difficult with its own probes.Reedie and IOC leaders are scheduled to travel to Doha this week for the general assembly of the Association of National Olympic Committees.

With the win, the Goldeyes improved to 11-6 on the season and remained in first place in the American Associations North Division, a game ahead of second-place St. Paul and two-and-a-half games up on third-place Fargo. A great start by Justin Garcia and a homer and three runs batted in from Casey Haerther gave Winnipeg a 9-2 record in 11 road games this season "Its big to get another W and end that four game losing streak," Goldeyes pitching coacvh Jamie Vermilyea told Paul Edmonds on the TSN 1290 post-game show. "We got a great start from Garcia, got some timely hits and scored more runs than they did." The Goldeyes opened the scoring in the second inning when Leonard Davis walked and then scored on a Casey Haerther single and an error by Steve Domecus. After Haerther, who went to second on the Domecus error, stole third, Luis Alen singled to drive in Haerther and give Winnipeg a 2-0 advantage. After Sioux Fallss made it 2-1 in the third, the Goldeyes added a run in the eighth on a Haerther home run.dddddddddddd In the ninth, Alen singled, Nate Samson tripled him home and then Samson scored on Fehlandt Lentinis sacrifice fly. The Goldeyes, got a lot of production from the bottom half of the lineup. No. 5 hitter Haerther went three-for-four with two runs scored and one driven in; No. 6 hitter Tim Smith went two-for-four; No. 7 hitter Luis Alen went two-for-four with a run scored and a run driven in; and No. 9 hitter Nate Samson had that huge triple in four trips, scored one run and drove one in. Haerther, meanwhile, hit his fourth home run of the season and his third in the past three days. "The hitters came through for us today," said Vermilyea. "Garcia was very good. I thought we might get a complete game out of Justin. He pitched very well and we got some runs for him." Garcia (3-0, 3.38 ERA) got the win, while Kyle Ruwe (2-2, 3.00 ERA), the junk-ball pitcher for Sioux Falls, pitched a complete game and suffered the loss. The Goldeyes and Canaries will play Game 2 of this four-game series on Tuesday in Sioux Falls. Game time is 7:05 and can be heard live at TSN 1290 with Paul Edmonds. ' ' '
