MONACO -- The IAAF ethics panel rejected appeals by three senior Kenyan athletics officials who were challenging the extension of their suspensions for another six months while they are investigated for corruption.Athletics Kenya president Isaiah Kiplagat, vice president David Okeyo, and former treasurer Joseph Kinyua remain suspended for 180 days from May 20, the ethics panel said in a decision published on Friday.All three men are accused of diverting more than $700,000 of sponsorship money paid to AK by Nike for their personal benefit, and attempting to extort money out of athletes in return for concealing positive doping tests.Kiplagat, a former member of the IAAF governing council, also faces allegations he accepted cars as gifts from the Qatar Athletics Federation in 2014, when Qatar was bidding to host the 2019 world championships. Doha, Qatar won the right to host the 2019 worlds in a November 2014 vote.Upholding the new 180-day suspensions, the ethics panel said the potential for damage to the sport was clear if the three were allowed to return to an active role in athletics while they were being investigated. Okeyo is a current member of the IAAFs council.The three were first suspended in November last year while Sharad Rao, the IAAF independent investigator in Kenya, looked into the allegations. Rao has yet to complete his investigation, leading to their suspensions being extended.In their appeals, Kiplagat, Okeyo, and Kinyua complained about the length of the investigation, and said they have been prejudiced by media reporting of their cases. Kiplagat also claimed the investigation has affected his health.A fourth official, AK chief executive Isaac Mwangi, was also suspended by the IAAF and is under investigation in a separate case after two Kenyan athletes said in an interview with The Associated Press that he asked them each for a $24,000 bribe to reduce their doping bans.An appeal by Mwangi against his suspension was dismissed by the IAAF in April.

Sydney coach John Longmire has backed his inexperienced AFL ruckmen and revealed he may use a couple more youngsters to pinch hit while Callum Sinclair and Kurt Tippett are sidelined.Sinclair and Tippett will miss multiple matches for the third-placed Swans, leaving Sam Naismith, 24, (four senior games) and 21-year-old Toby Nankervis (eight), to shoulder the majority of the ruck work.Were really confident in what theyve been able to do, they are two young players that have shown promise, Longmire said on Thursday.Tippett has been out for five matches after undergoing hamstring tendon surgery and is on track to return in round 22.Sinclair is recovering from arthroscopic surgery on the right knee he injured against Carlton last weekend, but Longmire said he should be back before the end of the season.Naismith made just one senior appearance before this season but has played the last three games and racked up career-best numbers in virtually every major statistical category last weekend.Hes grown in confidence, his ruck stuff has been very important for us and particularly his centre bounce work, Longmire said.His ability last week to ruck against Matty Kreuzer was of a pretty high standard.Nankervis, who is expected to replace Sinclaair against Fremantle in Perth on Sunday, was one of the Swans best in their NEAFL team last week when the more experienced Tom Derickx didnt play.ddddddddddddWeve certainly got the option to try different options as well in regard to maybe (defender) Aliir Aliir (five senior games), (forward) Xavier Richards (three), Longmire said.Those guys we might look at in coming weeks.Aliir has done a bit of ruck work for us in the reserves and also as a junior.Hes got an enormous leap, we know hes really improved.Xavier has done a little bit, not a lot. Weve used Dean Towers in that role as well, so we feel as though weve got a few options.Longmire noted around half the Swans side to contest Sundays game would be different to the one that played the Dockers in a finals game in Perth just under a year ago.He said playing in Fremantle icon Matthew Pavlichs 350th AFL game was a fantastic opportunity for the Swans youngsters, many of whom have not played at the venue before.Longmire had no doubt Pavlich made the right decision to play on this year.Absolutely he should have, hes had a really good year, Longmire said.
