RIO DE JANEIRO -- Several swimmers were listed with the wrong qualifying times coming into the Rio Olympics.World governing body FINA was able to correct some mistakes, including the time of a Kuwaiti swimmer competing under the International Olympic Committee flag because her countrys national committee has been suspended from taking part in the Games.The Guardian newspaper in Britain reported that 17 swimmers from 16 countries still had qualifying times that didnt match the actual results from last years world championships in Kazan, Russia. All were admitted to the Games under the universality rule, which is designed to spread the sport to developing countries that would not otherwise have qualified.FINA said the Olympic competition was not affected by the botched times, but there were renewed questions about the murky way that swimming is governed and organized.For us, there is no question over the eligibility of the swimmers to compete, and we have even gone slightly over the 900-swimmer quota, FINA said in a statement early Friday. The mistakes, if any, did not have any impact whatsoever to the outcome of the competition and to the athletes participation.FINA did change the qualifying times for several dozen swimmers, as well as some relay times for major teams such as Italy and Hungary. The times determine heats and lane assignments during the preliminaries.Further confusing matters, FINA hastily added seven Russian swimmers to its entry list just before the start of competition Saturday, after they were initially barred from the Games over their countrys massive doping scandal. No explanation was given for why the swimmers were allowed to compete, but the decision sparked heated criticism from several athletes, most notably American Lilly King.One swimmer initially listed without a time was Kuwaits Faye Husain, who is competing as an independent athlete in Rio because her countrys national Olympic committee was suspended by the IOC for alleged government interference in several sports federations.The 21-year-old Husain, who recently graduated from Williams College in the United States, competed last year at worlds and posted a time of 27.63 seconds in the 50-meter freestyle. But when that wasnt listed in her Rio entry, she was assigned to the opening heat with less accomplished swimmers.The mistake was initially missed because she didnt have a representative at the team leader meeting held before the start of the Games, where mistakes are supposed to be rectified. As an independent athlete, shes being coached by her college coach, Steve Kuster, who arrived in Rio after the meeting.She had gotten here a day or two before me and noticed that she was entered with no time, Kuster said. She was in the very first heat.From there, the coach said, it was a very long trek to get it right. Finally, the issue was resolved, and Husain will be in the fifth of 12 heats when she competes Friday.Kuster believes the proper lane assignment will help Husain put up a much better time than she would have swimming against much slower swimmers, even though she has little chance of advancing out of the preliminaries either way. She tied for 64th at worlds.It was more about being where she rightfully belongs, Kuster said. Cheap Nike Air Max 270 China .

NEW ORLEANS -- Saints receiver Michael Thomas was having a charmed rookie season until he ran up against the top-rated pass defense in the NFL.His two fumbles and bobble-turned-interception were among the most glaring mishaps that undermined the Saints bid to break .500 for the first time since the end of the 2013 season.Thomas apparently was in no mood to discuss his worst day as a pro following New Orleans 25-23 loss to the defending champion Denver Broncos. He was nowhere to be found in the locker room, so his teammates and coach spoke for him.Some lessons in our league are learned the hard way, coach Sean Payton said. You hope that ball security is not one of them, but it doesnt just happen to rookies either. Weve got to get that corrected.Added offensive tackle and locker room leader Zach Strief, Guys make mistakes. Mike will come back. Weve got a lot of faith in Mike. He knows that cant happen.Nothing heading into Sunday pointed to Thomas careening into a turnover-laden performance. Entering Sunday, he led all NFL rookies in catches (47), receiving yards (573) and touchdown receptions (5).A week ago, in a win over San Francisco, his two touchdowns were tough, critical catches the helped New Orleans get back to .500. His second TD was an acrobatic grab after he tipped the ball to himself over the back of a defender.Against Denver, he caught four passes for 40 yards, but his key plays resulted in turnovers.I know hes going to be stronger for this, New Orleans receiver Willie Snead said. I know hes going to get over it and ccome back Thursday (against Carolina) and be ready to go.dddddddddddd.On the first play of the second quarter, Drew Brees threw to Thomas, who got his hands on the ball only to have it pop from his grasp and straight to Denver safety Darian Stewart. Denver converted a 50-yard field goal for a 10-0 lead on the ensuing series.Its the two fumbles, though, that Thomas might have a tough time overcoming.The first came early in the fourth quarter with the Saints leading 17-10 and in possession after a missed Denver field goal. The fumble, forced by Bradley Roby, turned into a tying touchdown when Trevor Siemian passed to Demaryius Thomas from 2 yards.Then, after the Saints defense held Denver to a 28-yard Brandon McManus field goal, Thomas fumbled again when he was leveled by defensive end Jared Cricks crushing blind-side hit . The Broncos took over at New Orleans 20 and again Denvers McManus converted, this time from 37 yards for a 23-17 lead.Brees could be seen rushing to Thomas side to see if the receiver was OK after Cricks crushing tackle. Brees also sounds intent on not allowing Thomas to dwell on his uncharacteristically poor performance.Were going to need him to make some plays down the stretch and we will, Brees said.
