GLASGOW, Scotland -- Russian sport is a long way from convincing the world that it has cleaned up its act, the World Anti-Doping Agency declared Sunday, pointing to the states failure to accept it was behind a doping program, its continued obstruction of testing, and a series of cyberattacks.It would be better if they were maybe a little bit more contrite, WADA President Craig Reedie told The Associated Press after being re-elected unopposed for a second term.Russia is seeking readmission to WADA a year after being declared non-compliant with the doping code, following the publication of a report detailing widespread cheating in track and field.Fresh evidence of state-backed doping cover-ups was revealed by investigators ahead of the Rio de Janeiro Games, although WADAs recommendation of a blanket ban on Russias Olympic team was rejected by the IOC.Russias integrity is set to be challenged again when Canadian law professor Richard McLarens final doping report is published on Dec. 9, with the focus on winter sports.Reedie said Russia still has to get the rest of the world to believe that they have reformed and this (doping) wont happen again. So there is much work to be done.At Sundays Foundation Board meeting, WADA officials outlined how Russia continues to frustrate anti-doping officials by denying access to so-called closed cities where athletes are training and also to a sealed-off laboratory in Moscow that contains samples sought by sporting federations.The public criticism was delivered in front of Russian President Vladimir Putins anti-doping troubleshooter, Vitaly Smirnov, the former Soviet sports minister now heading Russias state-backed anti-doping commission.Russia has never had a state-sponsored system of doping, Smirnov responded defiantly.Vitaly Mutko, who was recently promoted from sports minister to deputy prime minister, was banned from attending the Rio Olympics after being accused by McLaren of ordering the cover-up of a failed drug test by a foreign soccer player.A WADA presentation on Sunday flagged up claims by Mutko that McLarens report was falsified and threats to prosecute those assisting the investigators.One of Mutkos deputies at the sports ministry, Yuri Nagornykh, was ousted on Putins orders after McLaren said he helped to orchestrate cover-ups of hundreds of drug tests. But Smirnov said Nagornykh was not a member of the government because he was deputy minister, maintaining that only ministers are members of the government.Russias unflinching denial of state involvement was rebutted by WADA, with Reedie endorsing clear evidence of collision between the laboratory and the ministry from McLarens investigation.Reedie does, however, believe there is a willingness to resolve the problems. And he will not insist on a full acceptance of guilt at government level as an absolute condition of Russias anti-doping body being cleared by WADA.It would be a great shame if they couldnt be compliant because they couldnt find a way of dealing with closed cities, Reedie said, referring to the areas where the Russian military restricts access. Maybe athletes shouldnt go there.Also straining relations are the cyberattacks on WADAs databases, which the agency attributes to Russia espionage groups -- as they appeared designed to raise doubts about the integrity of sports stars from Western nations.Records of Therapeutic Use Exemptions, which allow athletes to use otherwise-banned drugs because of a verified medical need, were leaked by a hacking group known as Fancy Bears.This doesnt make international acceptance of Russian improvement any easier if this goes on, Reedie said of the hacking.While disclosing that hackers are still trying to obtain logins and passwords, WADA said it would continue to oppose the publication of athletes medical information. The agency said 143 TUEs were granted before or during the Rio Games, with a handful of the 11,303 competing athletes requiring more than one.The system works perfectly, Reedie said, as the TUEs are allocated and agreed by responsible people in sport.WADA will remain under the leadership of the 75-year-old Reedie for the next three years, despite elements of the Olympic world appearing uneasy with the agencys attacks on Russia. Association of National Olympic Committees President Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah had wanted a neutral chair to take over from Reedie, who was supported by the International Olympic Committee.The IOC congratulated Reedie on Sunday and said it welcomed his commitment ... to work towards the appointment of a neutral WADA President.Reedie responded: I have always been (neutral). I will continue to be, and behave, as independently as I can. Adidas NMD Clearance Sale . But by the time the game started, the Toronto Raptors forward felt even worse.

BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil -- Hope Solo was unaffected by the Brazilian boos as she came up big in her 200th international appearance to help the United States womens soccer team fight off France 1-0 in a Group G match at the Olympics on Saturday.Carli Lloyd scored the only goal for the Americans, tapping the ball in from 4 yards out in the 63rd minute, and the U.S. assured its spot in the knockout stage after a second straight win.Solo became the first goalkeeper, male or female, to reach the 200-cap mark in international play. She also became just the 11th U.S. player to reach that number of appearances.Despite the milestone, Solo was still peppered with jeers from spectators, who were riled up about social media posts she made about the threat of the Zika virus. The boos first started during the teams 2-0 tournament-opening win against New Zealand on Wednesday.Whats important to me is that I played the best quality of football that I can play, and that hopefully our team makes it to the final, Solo said. If [the fans] are having fun, great. I like a loud stadium. But it really doesnt mean anything to me.The U.S. women, winners of last years World Cup and ranked No. 1 in the world, are vying for their fourth straight gold medal. France, ranked No. 3, was considered the Americans biggest rival in the group.Lloyd broke after an hour against France goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi. Tobin Heaths shot caromed off the post, and while Bouhaddi struggled to recover, Lloyd tapped in the rebound for her eighth Olympic goal.?It was her 11th goal of the year overall and 90th of her career after she also scored in the opener against New Zealand, a 2-0 U.S. victory.But for the first half, it was all Solo. She tipped Wendie Renards header from a free kick off the crossbar in the 16th minute. Her most dramatic stop came in the 41st when Marie-Laure Delie charged in alone and Solo collapsed to her knees to smother the shot.She was getting free and I knew she was going to crack a shot as soon as she saw the goal, so I just tried to close her as quickly as I could. And I as I closed her -- some people think she went through my legs on purpose because it was the only part that was open because I had her closed down -- I dont really think so, I think she just tried to crack a shot, Solo said.The 200th cap was Solos latest accomplishment in a 16-year international career. Last month, she became the first goalkeeper with 100 international shutouts when the U.S. defeated South Africa 1-0 at Soldier Field in Chicago. It was also her 150th career win.Solo won her second straight Golden Glove Award for the best goalkeeper at the Womens World Cup a year ago. Over the course of the tournament in Canada, she had five clean sheets and allowed only three goals in seven games.U.S. coach Jill Ellis made a couple of changes in her lineup for the match. Whitney Engen came in for defender Julie Johnston, who is out with groin soreness, and Crystal Dunn came in for Mallory Pugh, who hurt an ankle in the opener.But the most stunning lineup change was made by France, which did not start star Eugenie Le Sommer, who scored in Frances 4-0 victory over Colombbia.dddddddddddd It was not clear whether Le Sommer was injured.The U.S. plays Colombia in its final group match on Tuesday in Manaus. France will play New Zealand.Brazil 5, Sweden 1Cristiane became the record Olympic goal scorer among both men and women, while Marta scored twice to carry the hosts to a straightforward win over Sweden in Group E.Beatriz took advantage of a defensive mix-up to score the opener in the 20th minute, and shortly after Cristiane -- already the womens goals leader -- added the 14th Olympic goal of her career, carrying her past Hungarys Antal Dunai and Denmarks Sophus Nielsen on the mens side.Marta scored Brazils third from the penalty spot just before halftime, then added another with 10 minutes to play in the second half.Beatriz found her second goal of the night with four minutes to play, and although Lotta Schelin ruined Brazils clean sheet with a late consolation goal, the hosts captured their second straight win.Canada 3, Zimbabwe 1Janine Beckie scored twice and Christine Sinclair had her 10th Olympic goal as Canada defeated Zimbabwe in Sao Paulo in Group F.Sinclairs penalty in the 19th minute moved her into a tie for second on the all-time Olympic list alongside Germanys Birgit Prinz.In the group opener against Australia, Beckie scored in the first 20 seconds for the fastest Olympic goal in Canadas 2-0 victory. Her goals against Zimbabwe came in the seventh and 35th minutes.Mavis Chirandu scored in the 86th minute for Zimbabwe, which fell 6-1 to Germany in its Olympic debut.Germany 2, Australia 2Germanys Saskia Bartusiak scored in the 88th minute to salvage a draw with Australia in Group F.Sam Kerr scored for Australia in the sixth minute and Caitlin Ford added another in the 45th, but Germany closed the gap in first-half stoppage time with Sara Daebritzs goal.Bartusiak tapped the ball over the line at the back post following a set piece as the worlds No. 2 team remained unbeaten after a 6-1 win over?Zimbabwe in its tournament opener.Australia is ranked No. 5 in the world.
