Russian may evade a total ban on its athletes competing at the Rio Olympics by proposing a compromise that would allow some track-and-field competitors to enter the Games even if the Russian Athletics Federation remains excluded from international competition. Sky News understands that the potential compromise has been discussed at a senior level by government and sporting officials in Moscow.Officials at the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) have also been studying their rule books to see how a compromise might work. The Russian athletics federation (ARAF) was suspended by world athletics governing body in November last year following the revelation of state-supported doping.The IAAF will meet to decide whether to lift the ban in time for Rio on June 17.The Russian Government has denied involvement, but further allegations of doping at the Sochi Winter Olympics, and the obstruction of drug testers currently working in Russia, has made a return in time for Rio harder to justify.There is concern however within the IOC, and among some members of the IAAF Council, at the impact of a total ban on clean athletes. Some consider it a blunt instrument that would punish those who had done nothing wrong. Australian athlete Jared Tallent will be awarded his rightful London 2012 gold medal next month after he was denied it by a Russian competitor who turned out to be doping IOC president Thomas Bach appeared to open the door to a compromise in a series of statements earlier this month, suggesting that even athletes from banned federations could compete in Rio.High-profile athletes including pole-vaulter Yelena Isinbayeva have said they will pursue legal action to allow them to compete in Rio.The counter-argument is that the institutionalised doping revealed in the last year deserves the harshest punishment. Russias Yelena Isinbayeva called on the IAAF to rescind their ban on clean Russian athletes at the annual meeting on 26 November. A compromise may be possible because the Olympics are overseen by the IOC, rather than sporting federations such as the IAAF, and teams are selected and entered by national Olympic committees.So athletes who are demonstrably clean, to the satisfaction of the IOC, could be selected by the Russian Olympic Committee and compete even if ARAF remains banned.Defining clean is fearsomely difficult however. Athletes may be required to have passed independent tests, but recent re-testing of samples from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics - which have uncovered more than 20 Russians suspected of doping - demonstrate that testing has its limits.Russians would not compete under an Olympic flag, as some stateless athletes have in the past. Russia would be unlikely to accept such a condition, and the risk to the IOC of athletes turning out to be cheats would be enormous. Lord Sebastian Coe rejected claims that London 2012 may have been the dirtiest Olympic Games in history One potential barrier to the compromise is that the athletics events at the Olympics, while under the IOC umbrella, are sanctioned and run by the IAAF. Officials are examining whether this would give the athletics body a second and final veto over Russian participation.The compromise proposal comes with the stakes high for all concerned in the gravest crisis to hit the Olympic movement in years.Sebastian Coe, the IAAF President, is under pressure to demonstrate he is reforming the organisation, and extending the ban on Russia would represent a powerful statement of intent. Coe has described the decision as a come-to-Jesus moment for the sport.Bach has much at stake too. He developed a close relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who invested an estimated $50m (£34.6m) in staging the Sochi Winter Olympics and sees sport as a crucial plank of Russian identity.A solution that allowed all three to save face could have attractions, certainly for Putin, who in a sign of the importance he places on Olympic participation has avoided lashing out at the external forces he traditionally cites as enemies of Russia as he seeks a way back for his athletes.

Soccer Jerseys From China .com) - The Hatch Attack is back in the Southern Conference.SALT LAKE CITY - When the game is on the line, Trey Burke wants the ball. Even if he is shooting 38 per cent from the field overall this season, the Utah Jazz rookie always feels like his final shot is going in. "I still have confidence and believe I can make the big shot," Burke said. The rookie point guard scored 17 points, including a high-arcing 3-pointer with 1.6 seconds remaining, to push the Jazz past the Orlando Magic 89-88 on Saturday night. With the Jazz trailing 88-86, Gordon Hayward dribbled through the centre of the Magic defence and found Burke in the corner. The decisive basket snapped Utahs six-game losing streak and extended Orlandos skid to eight games. "I had an ugly game, turned over the ball a couple of times and felt like I really needed to make it," Burke said. Down the stretch, the game turned into a battle between Burke and Victor Oladipo, two rookies drafted in the top 10 of last summers draft. Oladipo, the second selection, scored 19 points for the Magic. He made a jumper and then added two free throws with 21 seconds to play to give Orlando an 85-82 lead. Hayward, who had 14 points, made two free throws and then assisted Derrick Favours and Burke for the game-winner, all in the final 20 seconds. "They understood the pace. Gordon made a great pass to Trey in the corner, and he made the shot. Its great to see the young guys show a lot of character. We could have fell apart there," Utah coach Tyrone Corbin said. Despite his overall inaccuracy, Burke is 15 for 26 from beyond the arc in the final five minutes of closely contested games (within five points) this season. Richard Jefferson scored 17 of his 21 points in the first quarter and Favours, Enes Kanter and Diante Garrett all scored 11 for the Jazz. Aaron Afflalo scored 19 points for the Magic. He made three free throws in the final 20 seconds but his miss with 12 seconds left opened the door for Burke. Favors knocked the inbounds pass away after Burkes shot, leaving just 0.4 seconds on the clock. The Magic inbounded to Afflalo, who missed a desperation 26-footer that may have left his hands after the buzzer sounded anyway. At times, it seemed neither team wanted to win. There was no exceptional defence on display but both squads struggled to hit open shots, neither topping 40 per cent from the field. Burke, who was taken ninth and had some battles with Oladipo in college, saved his best for last.dddddddddddd. He was embarrassed on a couple of Oladipos drives to the hoop earlier in the game and made only five of his 15 shots. Just as he did at Michigan as the consensus national player of the year, Burke showed hes not afraid to take the big shot with two 3-pointers in the final three minutes. "Its a shot I work on a lot, specifically in that corner, and it fell for me," Burke said. Oladipo, meanwhile, also struggled with his shot, going 5 for 14. But had a far better performance than his three points while shooting a season-worst 1 of 12 in the 86-82 loss at Orlando in this seasons first matchup on Dec. 18. "Trey made a tough shot at the end but I did a great job of contesting it. Hes been big with big shots like that for a long time," Oladipo said. "We both are going to continue to get better. Theres definitely going to be more interesting games down the road in our careers." The Magic are 4-23 against Western Conference teams, including 0-14 on the road. Jefferson made four 3-pointers and had 17 points in the first quarter to spark the Jazz to lead by as many as 14 points in the first half before the Magic cut it to 49-43 at halftime. The Jazz have won seven in a row against the Magic, one of the few teams they can consistently beat these days. Orlando came along just at the right time for the Jazz, who had dropped 11 of 12, including six straight by an average of 14.0 points. The teams ineptitude was on full display even as the game was up for grabs. During a five-minute stretch spanning the third and fourth quarters, the teams combined for 12 empty offensive possessions. Jameer Nelson rested his sore left knee for the second straight game, giving Oladipo more opportunity to play. But the Magic were absent one more playmaker when they needed to make just one more play. Notes: The Jazz honoured the franchises first playoff team, which featured scorers Adrian Dantley and Darrell Griffith, Rickey Green and shot blocker Mark Eaton.
