METAIRIE, La. -- New Orleans Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro will serve a four-game suspension, starting this Sunday at Tampa Bay, because he violated league rules pertaining to performance enhancing drug use, the NFL announced Friday.The league did not specify which banned substance was found in Vaccaros system. The league not only bans steroids, but also diuretics that have been known to mask steroid use, so a positive test for either could have triggered a suspension.The Saints have four regular-season games left, meaning Vaccaros wont play again this season unless New Orleans (5-7) rallies to make the playoffs. The Saints trail NFC South Division leaders Tampa Bay and Atlanta by two games.Saints defensive coordinator Dennis Allen said the Saints were aware of the initial positive test, which had to be confirmed and could have been appealed, so he and his staff had time to develop a contingency plan for this very scenario.Were ready to go out and execute that contingency plan, Allen said. Obviously, when you lose a guy of his caliber, its tough and hard on your defense. Its hard on the football team, but yet its no different than dealing with injuries throughout the season. These things happen and you have to be prepared for them when they do.Vaccaro, a first-round draft choice out of Texas in 2013, was in on 67 solo or assisted tackles this season. He had one sack, five tackles for losses, two interceptions, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and eight quarterback hits.His versatility has allowed the Saints to play in a number of three-safety alignments on defense, with Vaccaro playing near the line of scrimmage and covering slot receivers or tight ends -- acting sort of as a hybrid linebacker and nickel back -- while fellow safeties Jairus Byrd and Vonn Bell played deeper and in roles more traditional for safeties.Veteran reserve safety Roman Harper is one player who could be called upon to play more in Vaccaros absence. New Orleans also on Friday signed a new linebacker, Travis Feeney, off of Pittsburghs practice squad.Certainly, anytime you lose a player of (Vaccaros) caliber, it affects how you go about game-planning, Allen said. That is something that, as we went throughout this week and over the last few weeks, it is something that we have had to keep in the back of our mind because you never knew when this was going to occur. It is certainly something that we have had to pay attention to over the last few weeks.Saints had coach Sean Payton said Vaccaro could have appealed, but that it made more sense for him to accept a four-game suspension now, rather than risk having a later suspension that could carry over into next season.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Clearance Air Max 270 Outlet . -- Matt Rupert scored once in regulation and again in the shootout as the London Knights extended their win streak to nine games by defeating the Owen Sound Attack 4-3 on Friday in Ontario Hockey League action.

The native of Mont-Tremblant, Que., captured a World Cup downhill event Saturday, his second this year and fifth career victory on the circuit. Who will win each pool in the Champions Cup? Ahead of Fridays start, we give you the essential run down ahead of round one of Europes premier tournament.Pool 1Teams:?Racing 92, Leicester Tigers, Glasgow Warriors, MunsterForm: Top 14 champions Racing 92 have started the season slowly and are currently in 11th in the French top flight but with players like Dan Carter, Juan Imhoff and Johan Goosen in their ranks, they know what it takes to produce the goods on the biggest stage. Glasgow and Munster are seventh and third in the PRO12 respectively but both will be hopeful of getting through the pool. And Leicester, who have won the title two times, are fourth in the Premiership but have the supremely talented Matt Toomua in their ranks as they look to assert some authority on the tournament.?Player to Watch: Wallaby inside centre Matt Toomua, who is currently injured, will set the tournament alight when he returns from his spell on the sidelines. Hes one of the most gifted playmakers in world rugby and will find himself right at home in the Champions Cup.?Pool-defining tie: The Round 3 tie between Leicester and Munster at Thomond Park should be an absolute belter.Prediction: It is fiercely hard to call but Leicester Tigers will go through with Munster.Pool 2Teams: Connacht, Toulouse, Wasps, ZebreForm: Wasps have started the Aviva Premiership season in fine form, and their new-look midfield of Danny Cipriani, Jimmy Gopperth and Elliot Daly had fired them to the top of the table before Sundays defeat to Saracens. PRO12 champions Connacht have found defending their crown slightly more difficult than winning it, however, and have won only two of their opening five games this season. Although, thats still more than Zebre who remain winless. Toulouse, meanwhile, have endured a stop-start opening to the Top 14 campaign and head into the Champions Cup on the back of a narrow defeat to Clermont.Player to Watch: Bundee Aki was arguably the star of Connachts PRO12 success last term -- scooping the leagues players player award -- and all eyes will be on how he acquits himself on the continental games biggest stage. Especially in the absence of Robbie Henshaw.Pool-defining tie: Connacht travel to Coventry to face Wasps on Dec. 11. If the Irish province want to progress then they need a result.Prediction: Connacht and Toulouse certainly wont roll over, but Wasps look too strong not to qualify as pool winners.Pool 3Teams: Sale, Saracens, Scarlets, ToulonForm: Mark McCalls Saracens side appears to be hitting its straps just at the right time, after a dominant defeat of Wasps last weekend took them top of the Premiership table. Sale have found wins a little harder to come by, and were unable to capitalise on a promising victory against Leicester as they lost heavily at Bath last time out. Toulon, meanwhile, head into continental competition bolstered by back-to-back wins and ominously have scored 20 or more points in all eight of their Top 14 matches thus far. Scarlets opened the season with three defeats, but have bounced back to record as many conssecutive PRO12 wins.ddddddddddddPlayer to Watch: Englands injury woes have put even more focus on Maro Itoje, and the supremely talented 21-year-old can help drive Saracens towards the knockout stage.?Pool-defining tie: Toulon host Saracens in the pools first game of the competition, and it looks as though it could be the most important too. Victory would put Saracens in total control of the group.Prediction: Saracens are defending champions and should emerge. If Toulon play to their capabilities then they might just join them in the knockout phase too.Pool 4Teams: Castres, Leinster, Montpellier, NorthamptonForm: Montpelliers win over Pool 4 rivals Castres last weekend has given them momentum heading into their Champions Cup campaign. Jake Whites Montpellier head to Northampton second in the Top 14, having won five of their last six games. Castres on the other hand go into continental competition following back-to-back defeats and in the lower reaches despite a promising start. Northampton will also be looking to kickstart their season having won just two of six Premiership games, while Leinster have made an impressive start to the PRO12 season, and beat Munster last time out.Player to Watch: Garry Ringrose has continued his development, starting five of Leinsters six matches this season. His midfield partnership with Robbie Henshaw could prove pivotal to the Irish provinces hopes this season.Pool-defining tie: Montpellier could arrive in Dublin in Round 5 needing a win to progress. Not traditionally great travellers, theyve only twice on their previous nine away trips in Europe, bucking that trend at Leinster would be some achievement.Prediction: This could be an extremely close pool, but Leinster should have enough to win it. How many points the other sides take off each other will decide if anyone goes through with them.Pool 5Teams: Bordeaux-Begles, Clermont, Exeter, UlsterForm: Clermont begin the Champions Cup season in flying form, having tasted just one defeat -- against Toulon -- and currently lead the Top 14. Their five victories included a 40-16 defeat of Pool 5 rivals Bordeaux-Begles, who remain just five points adrift of?Franck Azémas side domestically. Exeter have begun the season sluggishly, falling to opening defeats to Wasps and Saracens, and picking up just two wins in four since. Ulster have had no such problems in the PRO12, ?although defeat to Connacht last weekend has robbed them of their perfect start.Player to Watch: Charles Piutau has not recovered from a concussion in time to face Bordeaux this weekend, but he could be Ulsters key man as they bid to make the knockout stages.Pool-defining tie: Clermont visit the Kingspan Stadium on Dec. 10 and if Ulster want to progress then it is a match they must win. Especially as they head to the south of France eight days later.Prediction: It is hard to look past Clermont as group winners, but all four teams will believe they can progress.
