LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Nine more athletes, including six medal winners, were retroactively disqualified from the 2008 Beijing Olympics on Wednesday after failing retests of their doping samples. Joc Pederson Jersey .The International Olympic Committee announced the decisions in the latest sanctions imposed on athletes whose stored samples came back positive after being retested with improved methods.Four athletes were stripped of silver medals and two of bronze medals in weightlifting, wrestling and womens steeplechase. All six athletes come from former Soviet countries -- Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan -- and all tested positive for steroids.The IOC stores doping samples for 10 years to allow them to be reanalyzed when enhanced techniques become available. The IOC recorded a total of 98 positive cases in recent resting of samples from Beijing and the 2012 London Olympics.Stripped of silver medals Wednesday were freestyle wrestlers Soslan Tigiev of Uzbekistan (66-74 kilogram division) and Taimuraz Tigiyev of Kazakhstan (84-96 kg) and weightlifters Olha Korobka of Ukraine (75 kg) and Andrei Rybakov of Belarus (85 kg).Its the second time Tigiev has been stripped of an Olympic medal for doping. He lost his bronze medal from the 74 kg event at the London Games after failing a drug test.The IOC stripped Beijing bronze medals on Wednesday from Russian steeplechaser Ekaterina Volkova and Belarusian weightlifter Anastasia Novikova (53 kg).The IOC asked the international weightlifting, wrestling and track and field federations to modify the Olympic results and consider any further sanctions against the athletes. Decisions on reallocating the medals have not been finalized.The IOC said all six medalists tested positive for the steroid turinabol. Rybakov and Novikova also tested positive for stanozolol. Both substances are traditional steroids with a history dating back decades. The new IOC tests used a technique that could detect the use of those drugs going back weeks and months, rather than just days.Also disqualified Wednesday were Cubas Wilfredo Martinez, who finished fifth in the mens long jump; Nigerian-born Spaniard Josephine Onyia, who was eliminated in the semifinals of the womens 100-meter hurdles; and weightlifter Sardar Hasanov of Azerbaijan, who competed but did not finish in the mens 62-kg division.The IOC said Hasanov tested positive for turinabol, Martinez for the diuretic and masking agent acetazolamide, and Onyia for the stimulant methylhexanamine.Last week, the IOC announced that Russian weightlifter Apti Aukhadov had been stripped of his silver medal from the London Olympics on Tuesday after testing positive for turinabol and drostanolone. Justin Turner Jersey . The giant slalom world champion slipped during her first run in the morning, landing on her back and then twisting forward before getting her leg caught in the protective material on the side of the slope.

Thats not a comment on the suspension that banished the Portland Winterhawks general manager and coach from his Western Hockey League teams bench for most of the 2012-13 season. http://www.authenticdodgersgear.com/customized/ .com) - The women will also have a new champion at the Australian Open. MILWAUKEE -- In command through six innings, Cincinnati Reds pitcher Anthony DeSclafani looked to nail down his first win since late August.Things quickly turned sour in the seventh for DeSclafani against the Milwaukee Brewers on Friday night. He left after loading the bases with no outs. All three runners would eventually score in the inning as the Brewers rallied for a 5-4 victory.(DeSclafani) was so good, so efficient, very few mistakes in those first six innings, Cincinnati manager Bryan Price said. He was the right guy to be out there. It was a tough way to lose.An angry DeSclafani had little to say after the game.I guess it just got away from me. I just (was bad) there in that seventh inning, he said.Chris Carter homered, Ryan Braun delivered a late clutch hit and the Brewers turned their second triple play of the season.Carter hit his 38th home run of the season, a career high, leading off the second against DeSclafani (8-4).In the first inning, Jose Peraza singled under the glove of Milwaukee third baseman Jonathan Villar and Scott Schebler reached on an error by Villar. With the runners in motion, Joey Votto hit a shot down the first base line off Zach Davies that Carter snagged, taking away an extra base hit. Carter stepped on first and then lobbed a throw to shortstop Orlando Arcia, who stepped on second for the third out.Price said the runners were in motion in an effort to provide a much-needed offensive spark.The one thing that cant happen is hitting a line drive right at an infielder, he said.The Brewers turned a triple play at home on April 29 against Miami and have eight in franchise history.Peraza put the Reds in front with a three-run homer, his third of the season, with one out in the fifth.The Brewers scored in the sixth on Carters RBI groundout to cut the lead to 3-2.After the Brewers loaded the bases off DeSclafani, Scooter Gennett drew a walk off reliever Tony Cingrani to tie the score. Milwaukeee regained the lead when Braun followed with a two-run single off Blake Wood. Enrique Hernandez Jersey. .Brent Suter (2-1) retired the only batter he faced to get the victory.Tyler Thornburg gave up a run in the ninth but notched his 13th save in 18 tries.GROWING PAINSWith about half of their starts over the last two years made by rookies, the Reds have faced challenges in remaining mentally sharp, Price said. Sometimes its how you lose, he said. If you are down frequently early enough, which was the case last year, its a challenge to get guys excited to come to the ballpark and play when you are down by three or four or five runs after three innings on a consistent basis. We havent had that problem as much this year, but weve still been challenged somewhat by the lack of pitching depth in our system.TRAINERS ROOMReds: Price said LHP Brandon Finnegan will start the series finale on Sunday. RHP Homer Bailey (biceps) had been considered after throwing a bullpen session on Tuesday. Im just not ready to commit that (Bailey) is in the rotation, Price said. We just havent gotten to that point yet.Brewers: Pinch-hitter Jake Elmore appeared to get hit on the left hand while attempting to bunt in the fifth inning. He then stumbled out of the box and fell to the ground. He gingerly hopped on one leg after getting up before slowly walking off the field with a team trainer at his side.UP NEXTReds: Dan Straily (13-8, 3.83 ERA) is 2-0 with a 1.77 ERA in three starts against the Brewers this season. Straily has nine wins since the All-Star break, tied for the most in the National League.Brewers: Taylor Jungmann (0-4, 8.34) will make his first start since being recalled from Double-A Biloxi on Sept. 6. Jungmann, whose last start for the Brewers came on April 28, is 0-7 with a 9.35 ERA over his last 10 starts for Milwaukee.
