The International Olympic Committee is looking at a new test for gene doping, although it wont be used at the Rio de Janeiro Games, the IOCs medical and scientific director said.The new test -- developed in Australia to identify if an athlete is artificially adjusting their DNA to enhance performance -- is not yet in use at a World Anti-Doping Agency-accredited laboratory, Dr. Richard Budgett told The Associated Press.But the new procedure, when and if approved by WADA, will be used to test samples from the Rio Olympics after the games to see if any athletes were gene doping, Budgett said.The samples collected in Rio will at some point be tested for gene doping (after the games), but we have a principle, we will not put in place a test that hasnt actually been used yet by a WADA-accredited laboratory, Budgett said in a phone interview.The IOC can re-test doping samples up to 10 years after an Olympics, enabling it to catch drug cheats who evaded detection at the time when new testing methods become available.The gene doping test is designed to detect if cheats are injecting synthetic genes which cause the body to produce more of the naturally-occurring hormone EPO, which in turn boosts the bodys ability to carry more oxygen in its blood.There is already a test to pick up if athletes are directly injecting EPO, the substance at the heart of the Lance Armstrong doping scandal in cycling. This test is designed to pick up if subtle changes have been made to DNA to make the body produce the extra EPO.There had been reports that the IOC was going to introduce the gene doping test to its program at next months Rio Games. But the test isnt ready yet, Budgett said late Thursday from Rio.We will absolutely not experiment at the Olympic Games. We will use tests that are validated by WADA and for which the reference material is available, Budgett said. As I understand it, Im told the reference material for this new gene doping EPO test is not available yet. So, when it is, then the testing will be done.Custom Baseball Jerseys China .J. -- Marshawn Lynch said Thursday it will be good to get back to football after the Seattle quiet talking running back wrapped up his final mandatory media session of Super Bowl week.

Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human.LOS ANGELES -- Five weeks after he last started a major league game, Los Angeles Dodgers ace pitcher Clayton Kershaw still is not participating in baseball activities.Kershaw said Tuesday that he intends to pitch again this season as he tries to recover from a herniated disk in his lower back, but no timetable for his return has been set.Hes just doing core work, the back, strengthening, manager Dave Roberts said. He hasnt picked up a baseball yet. Hopefully sooner than later, but no baseball activities.Kershaw did throw in a simulated game just after the All-Star break concluded, but a setback with his back injury shut him down again. Just two months of the season remain, and Kershaw will first have to stretch out his arm and build up to handle a starters workload.While the Dodgers didnt think Kershaw would need a minor league rehab assignment before his setback, it seems obvious that he will now need some rehab games under his belt. TThat will delay his return to the Dodgers even further.dddddddddddd think it is on the horizon, but I just dont know how close, Roberts said when asked about Kershaws return to throwing. Obviously the sooner the better, but with Clayton, we dont have to worry about the effort and the focus. When it happens, well find out, but there is no timeline for us.Kershaws goal is to not only return but to have an impact for the team this season.Its just hard not to pitch; thats what I love to do, Kershaw said earlier this week. You realize how much you love the game when youre away from it and how much you take it for granted. I learned that. Being healthy is something that really is a blessing. Its something that you really cant take for granted. Its hard to be away but I understand, and Im just trying to be patient. ' ' '
