The CEO of Athletics Kenya (AK) Isaac Mwangi has been provisionally suspended by the IAAF in the interests of the integrity of the sport. Mwangi was banned for 180 days pending investigation of a complaint made against him in relation to potential subversion of the anti-doping control process in Kenya.Last week, he requested 21 days leave from his role pending investigations into claims he asked for a bribe to reduce the doping bans of two athletes.According to reports in Kenya, Joy Sakari and Francisca Manunga said they were asked for around £15,000 to reduce the four-year bans they were given after testing positive at last years World Championships.Mwangi has strongly protested his innocence and says the allegations have caused him a lot of mental anguish.Three other high-ranking Kenyan athletics officials, David Okeyo, Isaiah Kiplagat and Joseph Kinyua, are currently under provisional suspensions by the IAAF having also been accused of subverting anti-doping processes.The move to provisionally suspend Mwangi will heap more pressure on the embattled Kenyans, who still face the real possibility of being banned from the Rio Olympics.African athletics chief Hamad Kalkaba Malboum said on Monday he did not support the total banning of Kenyan athletes from the Rio Olympics despite the recent doping scandal.Kalkaba, who is also an IAAF vice-president, said they were willing to support the efforts being made by the Kenyan government to reach a solution to the doping issues.Africa does not have the laboratory to make those substances to give to the athletes; the doping substances. We dont have the scientific know how to do that, Klakaba, a Cameroonian, said in Nairobi. Kenyan concern Reports of doping ban bribes concern WADA It happened before, we can mention the case of the United States with BALCO (Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative), Marion Jones and others. They didnt ban the United States from any competition; we took sanctions against the athletes who made the wrong decisions.It happened with Canada, Ben Johnson and so on; we didnt take any decision against the country. If there are some athletes in Kenya into drugs, they could be sanctioned but I think there is no need for the world organization to ban all the athletes even the clean athletes. I consider that as a wrong view.Kalkabas comments come in the wake of last weeks warning by IAAF president Sebastian Coe that Kenyan athletes could be banned from the Rio Olympics if the country was found to be non-compliant with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).Kenya has been given another two-month grace period to adopt the WADA code, after missing a February 14 deadline.

Yuli Gurriel Jersey .Y. -- Leading 3-0 with only 11:25 left, the Colorado Avalanche committed a seemingly meaningless penalty to give the New York Islanders a power play.BIRMINGHAM, Ala. -- David Frost has the lead and Fred Couples draws the biggest crowds. Theyll lead the pack into the final round of the Regions Tradition with an early start and a sizable contingent of contenders. Frost birdied the 16th and 17th holes Saturday en route to a 6-under 66 and a one-stroke lead over Couples after the third round of the major championship at Shoal Creek. "It will be a great final day," said Couples, whose gallery as usual has been by far the largest for each round. "Theres a lot of guys. Its the kind of course where someone can shoot 7 under and go from 7 or 8 under to 14 under. "But I think someone thats 10 -, 11-under par will have a good round and probably win, and Im going to do everything I can to put pressure on the guys on the leaderboard and see what happens." Frost, the South African who won the Toshiba Classic in March for his fourth Champions Tour title, had four birdies on the final eight holes to move to 12-under 205 in the major championship. He said being able to sleep with the lead isnt the biggest thing about his situation. "Its more just being comfortable with your game," Frost said. "Getting into position like this makes you become a little more at ease the more you get there, but my games been good this year. "So Im quite excited about (Sunday)." The final round will have a two-tee morning start because of expected rain. Couples, the Presidents Cup captain and World Golf Hall of Famer, shot a bogey-free 68. "I played the par 5s even, which is unusual for me," he said. "I played them very poorly actually, made a couple of good up-and-downs to save pars. Then the other 14 holes, I played really well. Id like to say I wasnt in too much trouble, basically because when I drove it in the rough, I judged my second shots pretty well out of the rough. "(Sunday), Im going to have to hit more fairways and play a little bit better from tee to green. When I did hit a good shot, it was a really good one and I made birdies. He managed to save par on No.dddddddddddd. 6 when his drive went right into the creek. "I cant sit here and kick myself," Couples said. "Im one behind Frosty. Im in good shape." Sixty-one-year-old Morris Hatalsky, third-round leader Duffy Waldorf and Michael Allen were two strokes back. Hatalsky had a 67, Waldorf shot 71 and Allen bogeyed the final hole for a 69. Two-time defending champion Tom Lehman was five strokes back after a 69. Frost hit a sand wedge from 80 yards to about 2 feet for birdie on No. 1. He missed a 6-foot birdie putt on No. 18. Frost said he had an issue with mud on the ball only on No. 6 after rain forced a long delay Friday. "But luckily I didnt have to go for the green there," he said. "That mud made up my mind for me, and I laid it up and made a birdie from there." Hatalsky, who had his second straight 68, is a month removed from an opening 89 en route to a 23-over finish at the Insperity Championship. He said he switched irons and his driver this week. "You just never know about this game," said Hatalsky, who finished with a 12-foot birdie putt. "You go through the ups and downs. As a professional, you have to keep working at it and keep believing that what youre doing is the right direction. Its just a new week, and Im enjoying it." After second-round leader Jeff Sluman and Waldorf each bogeyed on No. 4, there were 18 players within two strokes of the lead. Slumans 72 left him four shots off the lead. Corey Pavin delivered one highlight with a hole-in-one on the 173-yard eighth hole. He shot a 68 to finish at 6 under. It was his first ace since 2008 in the second round of the AT&T National. "Ive got the video in my head," Pavin said. "I got up there and just hit a 6-iron right at it actually. I hit a really good shot and actually when it was in the air I said, Go in! and it landed on the front fringe or right on the fringe on the green and just trickled and rolled in like a putt." Peter Jacobsen withdrew before the round because of a foot injury. ' ' '
