HELSINKI -- Finnish police have released two members of Cubas national mens volleyball team but are holding six others on suspicion of aggravated rape, an investigator said Monday.Police will request that a regional court on Tuesday order the six men to be remanded in custody to continue the investigation before any possible charges, said Joni Lansipuro, the Central Finland Police Department officer in charge of the investigation.We have made considerable progress in our investigation and have various pieces of evidence and relevant factors that support our suspicions, Lansipuro said. We propose (to the court) that they be held in custody.The eight men were detained over the weekend in Tampere after local police on Saturday morning received a report that a woman had been raped at a hotel in the city, 170 kilometers (105 miles) north of the capital, Helsinki. The Cuban team was in the city participating in the Volleyball World League tournament in Tampere where they lost 3-1 against Finland without three of their players, who had been detained.Lansipuro said the Cuban team had been scheduled to leave the country on Monday morning, but it wasnt immediately clear if they had departed.The Cuban Volleyball Association acknowledged the arrests in a statement Monday night. It said the Finnish investigation was continuing, but added that early information implicates them in acts that are totally removed from discipline, the sense of honor and respect that govern our sport and society. The statement did not indicate whether the rest of the team had returned to Cuba.Police declined to give further information pending the outcome of the investigation, except to say that the alleged victim and suspects were adults.The international volleyball federation, FIVB, said its very concerned by the alleged serious misconduct of the Cuban national team and has been in close contact with all parties involved.The FIVB has absolute zero tolerance of any offence committed against another person by any players or officials at an FIVB event, the world body said in a statement to Finnish broadcaster YLE.The Cuban Volleyball Association acknowledged the arrests in a statement Monday night. It said the Finnish investigation was continuing, but added that early information implicates them in acts that are totally removed from discipline, the sense of honor and respect that govern our sport and society.Custom Pistons T-shirts .

Vettel, who has already clinched his fourth straight F1 title, enters the finale with a chance to equal Michael Schumachers 13 victories in a year and match the record of nine consecutive wins by Alberto Ascari in the 1952 and 1953 seasons.For Sir Bradley Wiggins, finishing second is just first loser.The seven-time Olympic medallist has admitted anything less than gold in the Rio velodrome will leave him gutted as he prepares for the qualifying round of the mens team pursuit on Thursday.Britain are the reigning Olympic champions in the event after claiming gold in London with a new world record, but were pipped to the world title this year by old foes Australia.Wiggins is already the owner of four Olympic golds, and is a veteran of the same number of Games after his first appearance at Sydney 2000, but he insisted he is still hungry for more -- even at the ripe old age of 36.Im only here because I want to win another gold medal, Wiggins said. Im not here to win a bronze or a silver.The golds are really the only ones that matter when youve got as many as I have. Thats just the reality of it. If were all sat in front of you having won silver, you can expect us to be pretty pissed off.Thats why were here, to win a gold medal, and well be gutted if we dont.Wiggins will be joined in the team pursuit quartet by Ed Clancy, Steven Burke and Owain Doull, with Tour de France star Mark Cavendish unlikely to feature unless there is an injury in the line-up.Cavendish, who this year moved to second on the list of Tour de France stage winners, appeared to express frustration at being omitted from the quartet after quitting the Tour early to prepare for Rio.The Manxman will only ride in the omnium as he attempts to claim the Olympic medal that has so far eluded him, but on Tuesday he told Sky Sports: The reason I left the Tour early [is] because of the team pursuit.Brad has been super stressed, he added. He wants to be the hero and all that. Im kind of jjust doing the omnium stuff now.dddddddddddd Thats what I was aiming for the whole time. The team pursuits a bonus to that anyway.Wiggins, however, will be keen to quash any sense of disquiet in the camp as he stressed his belief that it will take another world-beating time to claim gold and keep the Australians at bay.Ive said that its going to take a world record to win the gold, Wiggins said. We dont have to mince our words, weve always realised that its going to take [3 minutes] 50 [seconds] or a sub-50 to win. Thats the bar weve set ourselves.Im sure the Aussies are thinking that way as well. Thats what brings world records, when youve got eight of the worlds best team pursuiters pushing each other on the track.Despite the apparent grumbles from Cavendish, Wiggins insisted he has never experienced working in a team like the 2016 edition. And thats coming from an Olympian who has won team pursuit gold, silver, and bronze, in Beijing, Athens, and SydneyFrom a group perspective, I dont think Ive ever been in a team these last 16 years where everyones as strong as each other, he said. Its reassuring. You just have to do your own individual job, knowing that everyone else is going to do theirs.I wouldnt say its a done deal, but we know what were capable of doing now. If we execute that on an Olympic stage, I know what it should give us.Youre not going in with any doubts. Ive been in [the same place] a few times going into the Olympics on an individual level but being part of a team is different. Ive always said you need four guys to deliver on the day. Its a good place to be. ' ' '
