Chris Froome Fails Drug Test And Could Face Ban
- Декабря 17, 2017
The debate will focus on when Froome took his last dose of the drug, how dehydrated he was and if anything else he was taking or eating may have had an impact. The distinction is important. The news of Froome's test result broke early on Wednesday. Inhalers are permitted in cycling - so Salbutamol is not a banned substance - and riders are asked to explain if their blood concentration is above the permitted limits. (more...)

Unbeaten NC A&T defeats Grambling in Celebration Bowl
- Декабря 17, 2017
I don't know that you'll ever see it again in an HBCU, simply because of the money games (against higher-division FBS teams) you have to play every year. N.C. A&T's Lyndemian Brooks recovered a fumble at the Grambling 8 in the fourth quarter, but the Aggies came up empty when Cartwright tried to punch it in from a yard out on fourth down and was stopped by defensive end Brandon Varner.

Raycom Media Camellia Bowl 2017 preview, prediction, live stream
- Декабря 17, 2017

The Blue Raiders were 6-6 in the 2017 regular season, and finished 71st in S&P+. He would have to crack a decent Middle Tennessee defense to pull off that feat, as the Blue Raiders secondary allows just 212 yards on average through the air. (more...)
