OLYMPICSRIO DE JANEIRO -- Three Olympics, three races at each, three gold medals every time for Usain Bolt.The man who transcended track and became a world-class celebrity bid a blazing-fast farewell to the Rio de Janeiro Games -- and, he insists, the Olympics altogether -- with yet another anchor leg for the ages. He turned a close 4x100 relay race against Japan and the United States into a typical, Bolt-like runaway, helping Jamaica cross the line in 37.27 seconds.Japan won the silver medal, finishing .33 seconds behind. The U.S. finished the race third but was disqualified because of an early handoff in the first exchange. That promoted Canada to the bronze medal.RIO DE JANEIRO -- U.S. Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte apologized for his behavior surrounding an incident at a Rio de Janeiro gas station, saying he should have been more careful and candid about how he described what happened after a night of partying with his teammates.But he didnt explain in his lengthy post on his Instagram account why he embellished details of an encounter with armed security guards and called it a robbery, and why he omitted to say that he and three teammates had vandalized a gas station restroom.RIO DE JANEIRO -- The U.S. Olympic mens basketball team is still a little better than Spain. One more win and the Americans are again the best in the world.The U.S. advanced to its third straight gold-medal game, beating Spain 82-76 in another tight matchup between the teams that met in the last two championship games.Klay Thompson scored 22 points for the Americans, who will play Serbia on Sunday for their third consecutive Olympic title.RIO DE JANEIRO -- Allyson Felix achieved something unprecedented in womens track and field by winning her fifth Olympic gold medal.And together with the rest of the 4x100-meter relay team, she brought the United States closer to its biggest medal haul in decades. The tally could have been higher, too, had the U.S. mens 4x100 team not been disqualified after finishing third in the subsequent final.Running the second leg in the relay, Felix kept the U.S. up there with the mighty Jamaicans, before English Gardner and Tori Bowie brought the baton, tightly clenched in their hands, home for gold.RIO DE JANEIRO -- With one last chance for a gold medal in whats probably her last Olympics, Vivian Cheruiyot turned to -- who else -- Usain Bolt for a pre-race pep talk. It worked.The Kenyan ran down world champion and heavy favorite Almaz Ayana in the 5,000-meter final to win a long-awaited first Olympic title. She also set a new games record.NFLPITTSBURGH -- The NFL suspended Pittsburgh Steelers running back LeVeon Bell for the first three games of the season for missing multiple drug tests, a violation of the leagues substance abuse policy.Bell initially faced a four-game suspension, but it was reduced to three games following an appeal to the league. Bell offered an apology in an Instagram post shortly after the suspension was announced, a post he later deleted.This is the second time Bell has faced discipline from the league. He sat out the first two games of the 2015 season as punishment for his arrest in August 2014 on DUI and marijuana possession charges following a traffic stop.Bell will be eligible to return to the active roster Sept. 26, before the teams Week 4 home game against Kansas City.NBANEW ORLEANS -- The NBA has decided to hold the 2017 All-Star Game in New Orleans after taking the midseason event out of North Carolina because of a state law that limits anti-discrimination protections for lesbian, gay and transgender people.New Orleans was announced as the new location of the game, replacing Charlotte -- which was set to host the game until the NBA decided last month to move it elsewhere.Unlike several other Southern states, Louisiana has not been swept up in legislative efforts to pass laws similar to that in North Carolina -- a fact Gov. John Bel Edwards has touted while lobbying the NBA to bring its All-Star weekend to New Orleans.BASEBALLNEW YORK -- Philadelphias Ryan Howard and Washingtons Ryan Zimmerman have been cleared by Major League Baseball of allegations they used banned performance-enhancing substances.Pharmacist Charlie Sly claimed in an Al-Jazeera America documentary The Dark Side: Secrets of Sports Doping, which was broadcast Dec. 27, that the two used banned performance-enhancing substances.In a brief statement, MLB said its investigation did not find any violations of the Joint Drug Prevention and Treatment Program by either Howard or Zimmerman.MLB said the players cooperated with its investigation and Sly did not.GOLFGREENSBORO, N.C. -- Si Woo Kim and Lucas Glover had putts for 59 on another low-scoring day in the Wyndham Championship.Kims 50-foot birdie try on his final hole -- the par-4 ninth -- slid by the right edge, leaving the 21-year-old South Korean player with a tournament-record 10-under 60 and a two-stroke lead.Glover shot 61, missing a 6-foot birdie putt on the par-4 17th and three-putting the par-4 18th for bogey in the PGA Tours regular-season finale.Kim had a 12-under 128 total to take the two shot advantage over Jim Furyk, Glover, Kevin Na and Japans Hideki Matsuyama.TENNISMASON, Ohio -- Angelique Kerber advanced to the Western & Southern Open semifinals, staying on track to overtake Serena Williams at No. 1, with a 4-6, 6-3, 6-0 victory over Carla Suarez Navarro.If Kerber wins the tournament, shell move ahead of Williams in next weeks WTA rankings. Williams, who has been No. 1 for 183 consecutive weeks, is the two-time defending champion in this tournament but withdrew because of a sore shoulder.In the mens bracket, Andy Murray struggled with a stiff back and gritted out a 6-4, 6-4 victory over Bernard Tomic to reach the semifinals and extend his successful summer, which includes his second Wimbledon title and another Olympic gold medal. He has won his last 21 matches, a career high.Kerber will play third-seeded Simona Halep, who beat Agnieszka Radwanska for her 13th straight match victory. Karolina Pliskova also advanced with a 6-3, 4-6, 6-2 win over Svetlana Kuznetsova. Shell face Garbine Muguruza, who beat qualifier Timea Babos in straight sets. Cheap Stitched NFL Jerseys . -- Five former Kansas City Chiefs players who were on the team between 1987 and 1993 filed a lawsuit Tuesday claiming the team hid and even lied about the risks of head injuries during that time period when there was no collective bargaining agreement in place in the NFL. Cheap College Stitched Jerseys . Now tied for second in the league in shootout goals, the 24-year-old likes to see what the opposing goaltender has in store before he ultimately lands on a move. http://www.stitchedjerseyscheap.com/ . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle. Stitched Soccer Jerseys Online . It just didnt show when he hit the ice. Berra made 42 saves and Kris Russell scored at 1:32 of overtime, lifting the Calgary Flames to a 3-2 victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday night. Cheap Stitched China Jerseys . Hamelin, who triumphed in the 500 on Saturday, edged out Victor An of Russia by 0.021 seconds to maintain his lead in the World Cup standings. Russias Vladimir Grigorev was third. In the relay, Canada took control six laps from the finish line to beat Russia and the Netherlands. INDIANAPOLIS -- Kyle Busch heard all about the potential to pull off a historic sweep at Indianapolis Motor Speedway.On Sunday, he accomplished the feat.Busch led a record 149 of 170 laps and beat teammate Matt Kenseth to the finish line in a second overtime to win his second straight Brickyard 400. Coupled with an Xfinity Series victory a day earlier, Busch became the first NASCAR driver to win both poles and both races on the same weekend.Ive never had a dominant car like this, Busch said after celebrating his fourth win of the season with his wife and son. This is obviously a special day and a special car.The impressive feat even overshadowed two other major story lines -- Jeff Gordons comeback and Tony Stewarts farewell.Stewart finished 11th in his final race at Indianapolis, while Gordon was 13th. Gordon came out of retirement to replace Dale Earnhardt Jr., who has battled concussion-like symptoms and has missed two consecutive races and will also sit out next week at Pocono. Gordon will replace him there, as well.Afterward the two drivers who grew up in Indiana drove side-by-side around the 2.5-mile oval one last time.I have gained so much respect and admiration for Tony, Gordon said. I love this guy. I have always respected his talent.Everybody respected Buschs talent this weekend, too.The reigning Sprint Cup Series champion, who used last years win at the Brickyard to jumpstart his title campaign, joined third-place finisher Jimmie Johnson as the only back-to-back winners of NASCARs race at Indy. Johnson won in 2008 and 2009.Busch surrendered the lead for 14 laps after his first pit stop, regained it when Brad Keselowski pitted, then gave it up again for only five laps when he made his second pit stop.Everyone else spent their day chasing Busch.The Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota was so strong that Roger Penskes drivers started with a strategy of trying stretch their runs long enough to make one fewer pit stop. It didnt work -- Joey Logano finished seventh and Keselowski wound up 17th.The only real challenge for Busch came with a series of late crashes that delayed his inevitable trip to victory lane.The crashes began when Carl Edwards car wiggled in the first turn on a restart with seven laps to go.dddddddddddd His car slid up the track, hitting Keselowski, as well as Ryan Blaney, Ryan Newman and Danica Patrick. The wreck brought out a red flag for almost eight minutes.On the ensuing restart, with three to go, Busch again pulled away only to have a collision between Trevor Bayne and Clint Bowyer behind him to send the race into first overtime.It happened again when Jamie McMurray slid through the first turn and into the wall on the next restart, but Busch pulled away one more time for a historic win in a race that actually took 425 miles.I certainly didnt want one, let alone five (overtimes) or however many there were, Busch said. We just wanted the race to go green till the end. We had a really good long-run car till the end, so I felt like wed be able to hold off all those guys behind us and then we had all those restarts.WHOS HOT: Joe Gibbs Racing and Toyota. The team had three cars finish in the top five and heads to Pocono with back-to-back victories. Toyota, meanwhile, had three of its cars place in the top four.WHOS NOT: Hendrick Motorsports. Yes, Johnson ended a four-race streak with no top-threes but nobody else finished in the top 10 and none of the four cars was even in contention for the lead.TOUGH WEEK: Greg Biffle wanted this weekend to be a tribute for his late father, who died Tuesday. Instead, Biffles day ended early after he crashed on Lap 52.EMPTY SEATS: Its tough to fill roughly 250,000 seats. But the estimated crowd of about 50,000 left plenty of seats empty at a race that has seen attendance steadily dwindle over the past eight years. The lone exception came in 2015 -- in what was supposed to be Gordons final ride.HE SAID IT: When Busch was asked whether his success over the past two years at Indy would prompt him to follow in the footsteps of his brother, Kurt, and run in the Indianapolis 500, Kyle Busch responded: Well, I wont be following in his footsteps, Ill be doing my own footsteps. It certainly may open up some avenues, Im not sure.UP NEXT: Pocono Raceway, July 31. Kenseth is the defending race winner.
