World athletics’ governing body has ruled that Russia has not yet met all the conditions in eradicating doping for a global ban to be lifted in time for the 2016 Rio Olympics, TASS quoted Russian athletics chief Mikhail Butov as saying on Friday. He said the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) would take a decision in May on whether to lift a ban in time for Rio, Reuters reported. Norwegian Rune Andersen, a former director of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), was appointed to lead a five-person task force reviewing Russian reform efforts after its suspension from global competition in November. One of the most important criteria would be the change of anti-doping culture in Russia, and it’s a big task, Andersen was quoted as saying.

Press Release #9: 30th Federation Cup 2016 – Kerala women to face Telangana in semifinals
Bambolim, 12th March 2016: The last day of the league stages at the 30thFederation Cup 2016 began with Kerala and Maharashtra women facing each other in their last league game. Kerala have all but qualified for the semifinals, while Maharashtra needed a huge win against favourites Kerala to stand a chance of advancing.
But all hopes that Maharashtra had were dampened right from the first quarter with Kerala racing away to a 24-10 lead after 10 minutes of the game. Kerala’s best player and go-to scorer Jeena PS got to the basket with ease sauntering her way to 26 points to go with 10 rebounds. Kerala centre Stephy Nixon also had a good outing with 14 points operating in the paint for her buckets. Guards Rojamol (15 points) and Anjana (9 points and 5 assists) also contributed ensuring that Kerala maintained at least a 15-point lead for the rest of the game. For Maharashtra, Manisha Dange (21 points) and Shruthi Menon (20 points) were the major scorers, but it was not enough against the heavyweight Kerala side. There was little bench contribution for Maharashtra, while Kerala displayed their deep bench strength with 23 points coming from their reserves. The game ended 81-63 in favour of Kerala, who have now sealed a spot in the semifinals where they will face the Telangana women.
Karnataka and Delhi faced each other later in an inconsequential match with both teams knocked out of contention for the semifinals. In a battle for pride, the young Delhi team surprised Karnataka coming out aggressive in the first half. Sahiba and Princy were leading the way for Delhi who built a 45-31 lead in the first half. Delhi’s Sahiba put up big numbers with 20 points and 19 rebounds. But in the third quarter, Karnataka took over the game, outscoring Delhi 19 to 5. Karnataka’s Kavana also had a double-double with 25 points and 12 rebounds along with 5 steals. Her teammate Ranjitha put up an efficient 20 points off 8 of 13 shooting. With the scores tied at 50 apiece at the end of the third quarter, Karnataka carried their momentum into the fourth quarter to outscore Delhi by 11 points, winning the game 74-63.
The first men’s game of the day saw home team Don Bosco Oratory, Goa (DBO) losing their fourth and final game of the tournament against the mighty Indian Overseas Bank, Chennai team. Goa was outplayed in all departments against IOB who proved to be too big, too strong and overall, too good for DBO. After a 23-6 first quarter, IOB emptied their bench for the rest of the game, strolling to a 63-38 victory. Forward Arvind Annadurai led IOB with 14 points and 10 rebounds, while veteran forward Mihir Pandey had 12 points.

Duterte proposes another UN August 21, 2016 Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte railed against the United Nations today after it called for an end to the wave of killings unleashed by his war on drugs, saying he might leave the organisation. Duterte also said the Philippines will invite China and African nations to form another global organisation in place of United Nations, as world body is not doing enough to address hunger and terrorism. There appears to be human rights working for terrorist and mafia in third world to keep their states in dire state. Two UN human rights experts last week urged Manila to stop the extra-judicial executions and killings that have escalated since Duterte won the Presidency. About 900 suspected drug traffickers have been killed since he came to power after winning the election on May 9.
