    By Nick Butler (http://www.insidethegames.biz/writers/24053/nick-butler) at the Main Press Centre on Barra Olympic Park in Rio de Janeiro 2 comments Sunday, 31 July 2016 () Names of all 98 athletes to have tested positive following targeted re-analysis of drug tests at the 2008 and 2012 Olympic Games in Beijing and London respectively will not be confirmed until after Rio 2016, it was revealed here today. It is because the legal process is continuing to analyse each athlete implicated on a case-by-case basis. All those to have tested positive have, however, been barred from taking part at Rio 2016 with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) claiming this fulfills their primary obligation to stop drug cheats participating here. A total of 98 positives emerged out of over 1,200 re-tested samples from both Beijing 2008 and London 2012. Only two of these have so far been officially confirmed and stripped of medals by the IOC. Both are female weightlifters, Ukraine's under 58 kilograms London 2012 bronze medallist Yulia Kalina and Turkey's under 48kg Beijing 2008 silver medallist Sibel Özkan. "The issue of when they are fully sanctioned will happen later," IOC Presidential spokesman Mark Adams told insidethegames today. "Our aim is to stop them [those implicated] coming to Rio." He added that it is "very unlikely" that any more cases will be confirmed during Rio 2016. This is primarily for logistical reasons, as all those involved will be so busy during the Olympics. Many of the cases have been announced publicly, either by National Olympic Committees or by International Federations.

  • Mathematical Models for Cricket Team Selection
    Mathematical Models for Cricket Team Selection Hamish Thorburn Dr Michael Forbes The University of Queensland 26/02/2015 1 1 Abstract An attempt was made to try and select the Australian Test Cricket Team for then-upcoming series against India in December-January 2014-2015. Data was collected pertaining to 37 Australian cricket players, relating to both recent form (the 12 months prior to commencement of the project) and career form across multiple formats of the game. The team was selected using a mixed-integer- programming (MIP) model, after processing the statistics collected to create usable parameters for the model. It was found that the team selected by the MIP model shared only 5 of the 11 players with the actual team selected by the Australian Board of Selectors to compete in the series. When altering parameters of the model, it was found that the batting diversity of the team could be doubled while only losing 0.008 of the available talent of selected players. The reduced costs were calculated to determine how close unselected players were to being selected, and what they would have to increase their batting/bowling averages to be considered for selection. Finally, we compared the ICC player ratings to our calculated batting and bowling indices, to try to determine the optimal weighting between the different statistics. It was found that batting average was most important in batting performance (but was more important in test matches than one-day matches) and that bowling average and economy were equally important in bowling performance. 2 Introduction 2.1 The Game of Cricket Cricket is a sport composing of opposing teams of 11 players each side.
