Australias womens Olympic road cycling team are unhappy that British world road racing champion Lizzie Armitstead will be on the start line at Rio.Armitstead, who is the gold medal favourite, had her automatic ban for missing three doping tests overturned by the Court of Arbitration for Sport who ruled procedures werent followed correctly for the first test.Australias Gracie Elvin said the team was disappointed by the outcome.Were all quite shocked and to be honest a bit disappointed in how things have happened in the last few days, Elvin, a two-time Australian champion said.We all take the utmost care and responsibility with our whereabouts (for testing) and we really try never to make mistakes like that and those were big mistakes so we really hope that things are carried out fairly with all athletes.The riders admitted it wasnt a great look for their sport, which has worked hard to shed its drug-tainted image.Elvin said they liked to think that womens cycling was clean and hoped Armitstead, who won silver at the London Games, would learn from her mistakes.She said she wanted to believe that Armitstead wasnt a drug cheat.Shes made her mistakes and shes definitely copping it in the media, Elvin saidShe did the wrong thing but I still like to think that shes a clean athlete.Were all competitive with her so thats a good thing.Armitstead said on Wednesday she was very naive in failing to contest the first of the three missed doping tests.The reason I didnt (appeal against the first missed test) was because it was my first strike and it was very close to the World Championships, so I was travelling to America, she told Britains Daily Mail.I also didnt have the legal advice. It felt very much them against me. I was very naive. I went ahead to the World Championships and I didnt want the distraction.Ive been on this whereabouts system since 2006. Ive travelled the world, been in hotels, training camps, races, for all that amount of time. And Ive never had a problem with a testing official trying to find me in a hotel.Blake Coleman Jersey . -- The Sacramento Kings are set to become the first major professional sports franchise to accept Bitcoin virtual currency for ticket and merchandise purchases.

This win, though, was Pakistans first at Lords since 1996; in four Tests here between 2001 and 2010, they lost three times - twice to England and once to Australia.10 Wickets for Yasir Shah, his first ten-wicket haul in Tests; his previous best was 9 for 155, against Sri Lanka in Galle last year.8 The previous record for most wickets by a Pakistan bowler in a Lords Test: Waqar Younis took 8 for 154 in 1996, which was also the last time Pakistan won a Test here. Yasirs haul is also the second best by an overseas spinner at Lords, and only the seventh instance of a ten-for by any spinner here. The previous such instance was way back in 1974, when Derek Underwood took 13 for 71 against Pakistan.3 Tests England have lost, out of their last five at Lords: in 2014 they lost to India, while Australia beat them last year. In 24 previous Tests here between 2002 and 2013, England had a 13-3 win-loss record, losing twice to South Africa and once to Australia.86 Wickets for Yasir after 13 Tests, the most by any bowler at this stage of his career. The next best is Australias Charlie Turner, a right-arm fast bowler who played in the 1880s and 1890s, who had 81 wickets after 13.21 Instances of two bowllers taking a ten-for in the same Test - Yasir and Chris Woakes both achieved the feat here.dddddddddddd The last such instance was in 2008, in a Test between Sri Lanka and India in Galle.204 Balls faced by Woakes in this Test - 96 in the first innings and 108 in the second. Add his match haul of 11 for 102, and it makes him only the fourth player to take a ten-for and face 200-plus deliveries in a Test (in matches where balls-faced data is available). The others who have achieved it are Michael Bevan (1997, v West Indies), Chaminda Vaas (1995, v New Zealand) and Allan Border (1989, v West Indies). Woakes match figures of 11 for 102 are the fifth best for England in a defeat.7 Number of dismissals in the 40s in this Test: Joe Root, James Vince, Gary Ballance and Jonny Bairstow for England; and Mohammad Hafeez, Asad Shafiq and Sarfraz Ahmed for Pakistan. Only once in Test history have more batsmen been dismissed between 40 and 49: in an Ashes Test at Edgbaston in 1989, when eight batsmen fell in the 40s. There have only been three other Tests with seven dismissals in the 40s. Englands Nos. 4, 5 and 6 all fell in the 40s in their second innings, the third such instance for any team in Test history.
