But they lead the league by just one point with both Al Sadd and Lekhwiya snapping at their heels. Last time out, Jaish left it late to defeat Muaither 2-1 thanks to goals from Uzbekistan international Sardor Rash- idov.

As for Al Gharafa, they had been the QSL’s form team having gone without defeat for eight matches before being up- set by Al Sailiya in the last round. Coach Pedro Caixina will now have to lift the spirits of his players and will see the tie against the league leaders as ideal moti- vation for his team.

    The Probative Value of the McLaren Report Confirmed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) by Robert Neron, SDRCC Arbitrator February 2018 The decisions rendered by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne over the past 18 months were largely influenced by revelations of Russia's state-run doping scheme and suspension of Russian athletes. An in-depth investigation into the involvement of Russian athletes in doping activities was launched in December 2014 after German radio-television broadcaster ARD revealed a government-sponsored doping program in Russia reminiscent of former practices in the Soviet Union and Eastern Bloc during the Cold War. Following ARD’s broadcast and witness testimony from a former director of the Russian laboratory regarding systematic doping and cover-up attempts involving athletes competing in the 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi,1 the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) appointed Richard McLaren, Professor of Law at Western University and member of the SDRCC’s inaugural roster, to chair an independent commission. The first part of McLaren’s findings, submitted in July 2016, provided substantive evidence of the systematic, state-sponsored manipulation of the doping control process2 that occurred before the 2014 Olympic Winter Games and continuing afterward in the run-up to the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio. These findings prompted the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) to indefinitely suspend Russia from world athletics events. In addition, WADA announced that the Russian Anti-Doping Agency (RUSADA) should be considered in violation of WADA rules. WADA further recommended banning Russia entirely from the 2016 Olympic Games.

In December 2014, Russia was accused of developing a state-organized doping system in the second decade of the twenty-first century. The scandal resulted in many Russian athletes being banned from competing in the Olympics in Rio in 2016 and the IOC’s suspension of the Russian National Olympic Committee prior to the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang. The research presented in this article aims to answer the research question of whether the doping scandal actually affected the international image of Russia. The research was conducted with the use of frame analysis of public discourse. The hypothesis to be tested states that the Russian doping scandal contributed to the intensification of a negative external image of this state. Keywords: Russia, doping, sports diplomacy, nation branding, image of a country. * This work was supported by National Science Centre, Poland grant number 2015/19/D/ HS5/00513, grant holder: Michał Marcin Kobierecki). © by the author, licensee Łódź University – Łódź University Press, Łódź, Poland.

Entraîneur du RAF depuis cinq ans, Franck Rizzetto a très bien négocié le difficile passage du monde pro à celui des amateurs. Portrait. Parler de Franck Rizzetto c'est déjà évoquer son Périgord natal, une terre belle et sauvage chère à bien des Alsaciens qui y ont vécu du temps de l'évacuation, et plus si affinités. On sait d'ailleurs que c'est le Racing qui, à travers ses exploits de 1939-1940, a donné un coup de fouet, à la pratique du football dans une région traditionnellement plus attachée au rugby. A l'époque, Strasbourgeois et Prétocoriens évoluaient côte à côte au sein d'une inédite entente, ce qui vaut à notre Racing le privilège unique d'avoir été champion d'une région autre que la sienne. Des aléas de l'histoire qui font également que l'actuel entraineur de Rodez a toujours des cousins du côté de la capitale alsacienne, par le truchement d'un des nombreux couples « mixtes » ayant alors essaimé. Très attaché à la Dordogne, où il a gardé de solides attaches familiales, c'est pourtant du côté de Toulouse que Franck Rizzetto a débuté. Il signe sa première licence à Balma puis passe au sein du grand club de la ville rose, où il ne parviendra pas à franchir la porte du centre de formation.
