RIO DE JANEIRO -- New 1,500-meter Olympic champion Faith Kipyegon sat at a podium not long after winning her first major title -- when she beat the world-record holder in the process -- and watched reporters fire questions about doping at the woman on her right.A hard introduction for the 22-year-old Kenyan and former junior champion, perhaps, but welcome to track and field in 2016.Sitting to the right of her, Genzebe Dibaba of Ethiopia, the reigning world champion and record holder, promised reporters she was crystal clean, a commitment she was asked to make after her coach was arrested in Spain and held for three days in June on suspicion of supplying banned substances.The coach, Jama Aden, was released but remains under investigation and cannot leave Spain. Suspicion has moved over to athletes under his control.The rumors roaming around the world are deeply affecting me, said Dibaba, who won silver behind Kipyegon. I have communication with Jama. Its solely, purely and solely, training and execution and competition. And this (the rumors) adversely affected my performance, my psychology. Im completely and crystal clean from doping.Suspicion is reasonable in this middle-distance event after six of the top eight finishers in the 2012 Olympic final in London -- including gold medalist Asli Alptekin and silver medalist Gamze Bulut -- either were disqualified or are facing allegations of using performance-enhancing substances. Some were caught years later.What will be said and written about this race in years to come?Dibaba had been tested four, five, six times in the buildup to the Rio de Janeiro Olympics, she said, speaking through an interpreter.As for Aden, Dibaba said he is only under investigation and she had received no further information on his case from Spanish police. She would stand by her coach if he was cleared.Kipyegon, aware her country is under heavy scrutiny amid doping allegations, said she and Kenya were going by doping control rules.And Jennifer Simpson, the first American woman to win an Olympic medal in the event, was asked how she would react if her coach, or part of her close team, was investigated for doping.To me, personally, its important who I surround myself with in my life, Simpson said. And who I surround myself with are people Im proud to be affiliated with. And thats important for anyone. Who you are connected to says something. Adidas Superstar Uitverkoop .

Adidas NMD R2 Dames .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable. Former Dallas Cowboys defensive end Greg Hardy was formally charged with a felony count of cocaine possession by a Dallas County grand jury on Monday.Hardy was arrested Sept. 26 after being pulled over for failure to signal a left turn, and a search of his vehicle revealed what police said was cocaine and an item containing marijuana remnants, according to police documents.If Hardy is found guilty, he could be fined up to $10,000 and spend at least 180 days in jail.Hardy told police at the time of the arrest that he didnt know what was in a bag that police said contained cocaine, and Hardy said somebody gave him the bag at a party the previous night.Hardy said he had been passing his wallet around at the party because he was paying for everybody and that must have been when the baggie was put in his wallet, according to the police report.The report also made reference to a couple of gun club membership cards in Hardys wallet. When the NFL suspended Hardy for 10 games last season over a domestic violence case stemming from an incident that occurred when he played for the Carolina Panthers in 2014, the league cited the presence of guns in his apartment in the ruling. An arbitrator reduced the ban to four games.Hardy, 28, played for the Cowboys last season after spending the first five years of his career with the Panthers.dddddddddddd He had six sacks in 12 games for Dallas in 2015 after missing the first four games of the season due to the suspension.In his first extended public comments after the completion of his suspension, he said he would come out guns blazing and made inappropriate comments about New England Patriots quarterback Tom Bradys wife. On at least two occasions, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett had to speak to Hardy about his Twitter feed. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones also had a sit-down meeting with Hardy later in the season.The charges from his 2014 domestic violence case were dropped and his record expunged, but in November, Deadspin released photos from the night of the alleged incident that showed bruising to his ex-girlfriends back, jaw and feet.In an interview with ESPN, Hardy said he was an innocent man and denied he had ever put his hands on a woman. Of the photos, he said: Pictures are pictures, and they can be made to look like whatever they want to.Hardy remains unsigned. In April, Jones said he would not re-sign Hardy. ' ' '
