SALZBURG, Austria - Biathlons governing body is stepping up its investigation into alleged doping infringements by one its vice-presidents.The International Biathlon Union has been gathering information since vice-president Gottlieb Taschler of Italy temporarily stepped down on Saturday amid media reports he is under criminal investigation for helping his son Daniel obtain doping substances from banned doctor Michele Ferrari.Taschler has denied any wrongdoing and called the accusations simply not true.The IBU said on Wednesday it contacted the Italian Olympic Committee, and the national and world anti-doping agencies, NADO and WADA, as well as the Padua city attorney general, and requested to share any available, relevant information.However, the Padua prosecutors document that media based their reporting on, is not in the public domain, yet, the IBU said, adding it is not able to comment further but we will share new, relevant information when available.Italian media reported last week that prosecutors were investigating Gottlieb Taschler for allegedly connecting his son, who is a member of the Italian biathlon team, with Ferrari in an apparent attempt to obtain the banned blood-booster EPO.The reports quoted transcripts of phone calls dating from 2010 between Daniel Taschler and Ferrari, an Italian physician who was banned for life in 2012 for numerous breaches of anti-doping rules.The 27-year-old Daniel Taschler has so far competed in one World Cup, a sprint in his native Antholz in 2011.Gottlieb Taschler didnt show up at a World Cup in Hochfilzen, Austria, on Friday before formally stepping aside the next day until these serious accusations are proven invalid, adding that he planned to fully co-operate in clearing up these massive accusations which put both me and my sons integrity at risk.The 53-year-old Taschler is a former biathlete who won bronze with the Italian relay team at the 1988 Calgary Olympics. He has been on the IBU executive board as a vice-president since 2006.

Mike McCoys San Diego Chargers look as if they could use a few more weeks of training camp. Kaepernick threw a touchdown pass to cap his only drive, and the San Francisco 49ers roughed up the Chargers 41-6 in the preseason finale for both teams Thursday night. Kaepernick faked an inside handoff and then threw a short sidearm pass to Quinton Patton, who deked rookie free agent Marcus Cromartie and completed the 43-yard scoring play. Coach Jim Harbaugh started the first-team offence of the 49ers (3-1), while McCoy sat his first-team defence. The Chargers (1-3) had a bad night. Backup quarterback Charlie Whitehurst was sacked four times in the first half and third-stringer Brad Sorensen threw two interceptions in the second half. San Francisco linebacker Cam Johnson sacked Whitehurst twice and blocked a punt by Mike Scifres and recovered it in the end zone for a touchdown late in the third quarter. The defending NFC champion 49ers open at home against Green Bay a week from Sunday. The Chargers, whove missed the playoffs for three straight seasons, open at home against Houston a week from Monday. Chargers wide receiver Robert Meachem, who has a guaranteed $5 million salary, had four catches before sustaining a concussion. Hes been a forgotten man since dropping a potential touchdown pass in a 7-6 loss at Cleveland last season. Niners free agent pickup Lavelle Hawkins had a spectacular 45-yard touchdown play in the fourth quarter. A short pass from B.J. Daniels bounced off Hawkins hands and into the air, but the receiver grabbed it before being hit by rookie safety Jahleel Addae.dddddddddddd Addae didnt wrap up, and Hawkins swept to the left and finished the scoring run for a 34-6 lead. Kaepernick is heading into his first full season as a starter after making 10 starts last year and leading the 49ers to the Super Bowl, where they lost to the Baltimore Ravens. With Harbaugh playing his starters, the mismatch paid off as the 49ers moved 77 yards in seven plays for the score. Kaepernick completed 3 of 4 passes for 64 yards for a rating of 156.2. He didnt have any carries. Colt McCoy, selected as the backup last weekend after he restructured his contract, replaced Kaepernick and played into the third quarter. McCoy also threw a touchdown pass, a 5-yarder to Anthony Dixon in the second quarter. McCoy completed 8 of 15 passes for 56 yards. Daniels also threw a 15-yard touchdown pass to rookie Chuck Jacobs. Daniels had a 36-yard run on that drive. Whitehurst was 9 of 12 for 86 yards, with one interception. Max Starks, who apparently has lost the competition for the starting job at left tackle to King Dunlap, was repeatedly beaten and gave up three sacks. The other sack was allowed by right tackle Mike Harris, who played left tackle last year as a rookie. Brad Sorensen, San Diegos rookie third-string QB, was intercepted twice. San Diegos Nick Novak kicked field goals of 41 and 48. Chargers rookie linebacker Manti Teo was back in his walking boot as he watched the game from the sideline in a sweatsuit.
