American sprinter Fred Kerley provisionally suspended for anti-doping ‘whereabouts failures'
MONACO (AP) — U.S. Olympic sprinter Fred Kerley has been provisionally suspended for 'whereabouts failures' under the sport's anti-doping rules, the Athletics Integrity Unit said Tuesday. Lawyers for the 30-year-old Kerley hit back in a statement posted on the athlete's account on X. 'Fred Kerley has already notified the AIU that he intends to contest the allegation that he has violated the anti-doping rules related to whereabouts failures, as he strongly believes that one of (or) more of his alleged missed tests should be set aside either because he was not negligent or because the Doping Control Officer did not do what was reasonable under the circumstances to locate him at his designated location,' the statement said. It added: 'Fred will not comment further at this time out of respect for the process, and looks forward to presenting his case to the appointed hearing panel.' Kerley won the Olympic silver medal in the 100 meters at the Tokyo Games and the bronze in Paris last year. He has also earned six medals at the track and field world championships. 'You can try to break me in the storm, but all you're doing is giving me a better story at the finish line,' Kerley later posted on the same account. In May, Kerley was charged in Florida with punching a woman, a hurdler who also competed in the Olympics. That came just a few months after he was arrested for allegedly punching a Miami Beach police officer on Jan. 2, an incident in which police used a Taser on him. His lawyers say Kerley is innocent of those charges. ___ AP sports:

Stingers face Surge Thursday in do-or-die CEBL West semifinal
The CEBL's Edmonton Stingers practice on Aug. 11, 2025, at the Edmonton Expo Centre. The Battle of Alberta has become a dribble. The Edmonton Stingers will tip off against the host Calgary Surge on Thursday in a Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) do-or-die playoff game. The winner will advance to the CEBL West semifinal against the Vancouver Bandits. The Stingers, who entered the playoffs on a three-game winning streak, finished third in the Western Conference while the Surge and the Bandits placed second and first, respectively. Edmonton won two of their three games against Calgary this regular season. 'It's super tough being in a win-or-go-home situation, but it always ramps up the intensity for us,' Jordan Baker, the head coach and general manager of the Stingers, told CTV News Edmonton on Tuesday at the Edmonton Expo Centre as the team practised for Thursday's game in Calgary. 'We've seen Calgary a number of times, and it hasn't been all at the beginning of the season or all at the end of the season … I think we know generally how to execute against them.' The winners of the East and West semifinals will advance to the league's four-team Championship Weekend in Winnipeg Aug. 22-24. The Stingers are two-time CEBL champions, winning back-to-back league titles in 2020 and 2021. With files from CTV News Edmonton's Brandon Lynch
