The seven bronze medallists included four weightlifters - Russians Khadzhimurat Akkaev (+94kg) and Dmitry Lapikov (+105kg), Ukrainian Natalya Davydova (+69kg) and Kazak Mariya Grabovetskaya (+75kg), Greco-Roman wrestler Asset Mambetov of Kazakhstan, Ukrainian pole vaulter Denys Yurchenko and Greek triple jumper Chrysopigi Devetzi.The six others disqualified were weightlifters and athletes from Russia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Ukraine and Kazakhstan.The IOC have re-tested over 1,243 samples from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics based on improved techniques.The build-up to the 2016 Rio Games was overshadowed after a report found evidence of a state-sponsored doping programme in Russian sport.Russia narrowly escaped a blanket ban from Rio when the IOC left it up to international sports federations to determine which Russians were eligible to compete while granting itself a final say.

Joe McDonald gives us his take on the biggest and best.Gallant firing a shocker: Theres no way anyone had Gerard Gallant in the pool as being the first coach fired this season. After a 3-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes, the Florida Panthers fired Gallant late Sunday. You cant put all the blame on the coach for the teams 11-10-1 record. Injuries to key players and roster changes affected the teams start. Also, if hockey personnel in Florida are relying on analytics to decide a coachs fate, they have it wrong. The players respect Gallant, something analytics wont tell you. General manager Tom Rowe is taking over behind the bench, but a coaching change will have a negative effect in the room. It was no fluke Gallant led the Panthers to franchise-record 103 points and a Atlantic Division title last season. Describing the situation as a gong show would be a major understatement. Heres my question: Who is calling the shots in Florida? Management or ownership? I cant see how this change helps the team. Vegas Golden Knights GM George McPhee should hire Gallant today for next season.Pastrnak stands out, too: I cant remember a season when the NHL was loaded with such a huge pool of talented young players. Youve got, of course, the Edmonton Oilers Connor McDavid, the Toronto Maple Leafs Auston Matthews and the Winnipeg Jets Patrik Laine. Across the board, players under-24 players are dominating. But lets not forget about the Boston Bruins David Pastrnak.dddddddddddd The 20-year-old forward, a 25th-overall pick in 2014, has been Bostons best player this season. He scored his 13th goal of the season to help the Bruins to a 4-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday. Sure, it helps that hes playing on a line with Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand, but he always has been a dynamic player and hes finally coming into his own. Pastrnak is second in goals behind the Pittsburgh Penguins Sidney Crosby (15) and has 17 points in 17 games, including a plus-13. Add Pastrnak to the list of young players to keep an eye on this season.Give the stopper credit: Goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will be one of the key reasons for the Jets return to the Stanley Cup playoffs this season. He made 42 saves in the Jets 3-0 win over the Nashville Predators on Sunday, his second shutout of the season. The victory also ended Winnipegs five-game losing skid. Hellebuyck has made timely saves in critical situations as the Jets go-to guy while starting 11 of the past 13 games. The 26 games (13-11-1 record) he played as a rookie last season were invaluable as the organization is leaning on him now. Hes only 8-8-0 with a 2.57 goals-against average and a .915 save percentage in 17 games, but the 23-year-old is playing with confidence, which can only equal more wins for the Jets. ' ' '
