in the government-ordered report: members of the womens rugby team had a brawl in an airport on the way home from Rio about how Antworten

ANDERSON, Ind. -- The moment Colts running backs coach Jemal Singleton hears the word numbers, he winces and shakes his head.He knows whats coming next: A question about Indys seemingly endless running woes.Yes, again, the Colts enter a season trying to prove they can run the ball efficiently and effectively enough to end their long streak without a 1,000-yard rusher and another incredible drought without a 100-yard game.Of course, were aware of it, said Singleton, who is in his first NFL season. Its really a challenge as a group.The challenge has been years in the making.Even after the Colts took Andrew Luck with the top overall draft pick in 2012, coach Chuck Pagano expressed a desire to create a balanced offense to help alleviate the burden on his quarterback. But Indy has never really come close to Paganos goal.Indy has thrown for 72.8 percent of its total yards and scored nearly 75 percent of its offensive touchdowns through the air over the past four seasons. On the ground, the Colts have had a different rushing leader in each of Lucks first four seasons and the only one still around is 33-year-old Frank Gore.Since Joseph Addai ran for 1,072 yards in 2007, only one Indy player has topped the 850-yard mark. And nobody is more frustrated with all the talk than Gore, who finished last season with 967 yards behind one of the leagues poorest offensive lines.Im not going to be over it until I do it, Gore said after falling just short of a fifth straight 1,000-yard season. Ive been blessed they kept me to get the opportunity to do it again, to go after my goals again, to be the one to get the 100 yards that they didnt have in years, to get that 1,000-plus yards, to have the opportunity when its playoff time, when its time to get down and dirty.Only one team, New Orleans, has gone longer without a 1,000-yard runner. Deuce McAlister last did it in 2006.Miamis 17-year streak from 1979-95 is the longest since the AFL-NFL merger, though the Saints are already in the top 10 and the Colts will join them there if they fall short in 2016.The more telling stat may be that the Colts have had only one 100-yard game since the Luck era began: Vick Ballards 105-yard performance Houston on Dec. 16, 2012. That 50-game drought is tied for No. 5 since 1960 and is the longest since Cincinnati ended a 67-game streak in 1997.But Indy didnt exactly spend much time or money stocking the backfield during the offseason.While they kept Gore and signed free agent power backs Robert Turbin and Jordan Todman, the only other significant addition might be Josh Ferguson, an undrafted rookie. The Colts also avoided the temptation of revamping their offensive line through free agency and instead used four of their eight draft picks on offensive linemen, including center Ryan Kelly, the No. 18 pick overall.Luck believes those changes and offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinskis new system will finally get the Colts running game off the ground in 2016.Why does it need to be better? A balanced offense, I think, is a more potent offense and gives us a better chance to put points on the board, Luck said. Why will it be better? Because were going to work at it.Again, Pagano again is emphasizing the need for a stronger ground game at training camp.The Colts look like they have already decided to have Gore line up behind a line consisting of Anthony Castonzo at left tackle, Jack Mewhort at left guard, Kelly, Denzelle Good at right guard and Joe Reitz at right tackle.If the injured Kelly returns from an injured left shoulder and plays Sunday night against Green Bay, the annual Hall of Fame game could be Indys first real glimpse of this new-look offense.But the Colts have focused more on cleaning up the errors than running the numbers.Whether we have a 1,000-yard rusher or a 100-yard rusher, thats not what matters, Singleton said. The only number that really matters is whether you win the game.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Adidas Schuhe Heren Schweiz .

NAIROBI, Kenya -- Kenya had its most successful Olympics ever in Rio de Janeiro despite chaotic preparations that included missing shoes, ill-fitting uniforms, a brawl among teammates over prize money and completely inadequate training facilities, according to a report reviewed Tuesday by The Associated Press.Among the many revelations in the government-ordered report: members of the womens rugby team had a brawl in an airport on the way home from Rio about how to split prize money, the race walking team wasnt given any track shoes, many of the athletes received uniforms that didnt fit, while some didnt get any and had to provide their own.Medical officials tending to Kenyas top sports stars in case of serious injury had to travel between the spread-out Rio venues on shuttle buses meant for journalists and which only went every 30 minutes -- and sometimes took over an hour to get to an arena.Also, members of the team began their final preparations for the worlds biggest sports event at a High Performance Training Center back home owned by the head of the Olympic committee, and which had a gym only big enough for three people to be in it at any one time, the 90-page report said.But along with the incompetence and mismanagement on a grand scale -- stunning for a country that outperformed the United States and Jamaica at last years athletics world championships -- the report committee raised serious concerns over the possible misappropriation by senior sports officials of millions of dollars in money and athlete apparel provided by team sponsor Nike.Those race walkers may not have got their Nike shoes because officials stole them.The investigation was ordered at the end of August by the sports minister after allegations of corruption being rife at the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOCK), which was disbanded after Rio amid allegations that some of the $5.7 million Olympic budget was stolen.Since the committee began its investigation, Kenyas Olympic team leader has been charged with stealing $256,000 and three other senior Olympic committee officials -- two vice presidents and the secretary general -- face charges of stealing boxes of Nike apparel that were meant for athletes. One VP was arrested hiding under his bed in an apartment filled with brand new Nike equipment.Because those cases are in court, the report couldnt refer to them. But there was plenty more investigators could reveal.They demanded that NOCK account for how it has used the $714,000 its been given every year by Nike since 2013, and where the $520,000 worth of apparel it received every year has gone. There dont appear to be records.Also, some of Kenyas top athletes, including track and field world champions Asbbel Kiprop, Julius Yego and Ezekiel Kemboi, may have been cheated out of tens of thousands of dollars in Nike bonuses due to them for winning medals at major competitions, bonuses they have not received from Kenyan officials, according to the report.ddddddddddddDespite the level of ineptitude, and allegedly worse, from those officials, Kenya somehow still won six golds and 13 medals in total in Rio. The track and field team was second on the table behind the U.S.The (investigating) committee would like to express concern over serious management inadequacies, poor planning and financial impropriety that affected what would have been an even greater performance, the report said. The committee would like to thank our sportsmen and women, their coaches and the honest officials for pulling off Kenyas best ever performance at the Olympics despite the glaring management inadequacies that they had to endure.All of Kenyas athletes, even their best, appeared to have been affected.Julius Yego, the javelin world champion who won silver at the Rio Olympics, was one example.Yego was based at the so-called High Performance Training Center with the tiny gym in the buildup to the Olympics. He paid to join a nearby private gym that had better equipment. Yego was put in the high altitude town of Eldoret, where heavy rain at that time of year can wash away roads and he was often unable to travel to the stadium to train. Even when he got to the stadium, Yego had to deal with the fact that the javelin runway was about seven meters shorter than the standard length. When Yego got to the airport to travel to Rio, there was no plane ticket for him.---Some other revelations in the report:- The mens rugby sevens team went on a three-week high-altitude training camp, but returned to the capital Nairobi for a week and then traveled to Rio, which is at sea level, two weeks before their competition, nullifying any benefit from the high-altitude training.-Marathon runner Wesley Korir left a pre-Olympics training camp without permission to travel to Canada and run in a marathon as a pace-setter fo
