VAL GARDENA, Italy -- Aksel Lund Svindal was the only skier missing from the Norwegian podium party.Olympic champion Kjetil Jansrud and teammate Aleksander Aamodt Kilde finished 1-2 in a super-G on Friday to extend Norways recent dominance in Val Gardena -- and in the World Cup speed events.It could have been another podium sweep for the Attacking Vikings but Svindal wasted a fast start to his run with two major mistakes, ultimately skiing through a gate and not finishing.Team Norway likes Val Gardena, Kilde said. Unfortunately we didnt get Aksel with us this time but hell for sure be back. Its always fun to ski the Saslong and the snow is always good.When Jansrud crossed the finish line and came to a stop he pointed toward Kilde in the leaders spot.Everything flows pretty well for us these days, Jansrud said.Jansrud finished 0.06 seconds ahead of Kilde, and 0.13 in front of third-place Canadian veteran Erik Guay.Olympic downhill champion Matthias Mayer of Austria finished fourth, 0.48 behind, as he returned to the site of a horrific crash a year ago which ended his season.Olympic combined champion Sandro Viletta was airlifted off the course by helicopter to a local hospital after crashing and sliding into the safety netting backward. Race organizers said Viletta injured his right knee.Jansrud has won all three speed races this season. He swept a super-G and downhill in Val dIsere, France, this month.Its humbling to be able to pull it off, Jansrud said. I dont know how long it can continue but Ill try as long as possible.Last year in Val Gardena, Svindal, Jansrud, and Kilde finished 1-2-3 for Norway in the super-G.Norwegians have won the Val Gardena super-G five consecutive times, with Svindal posting three victories and Jansrud two.As a team were always working good with each other and pushing each other, said Kilde, who edged older teammates Jansrud and Svindal to take the season-long super-G title last season. Having guys like Aksel and Kjetil is an advantage for me.Since the start of the 2012-13 season, Norwegian skiers have won 16 of the 27 World Cup super-Gs. No other country has more than four wins in this span.It was the 17th career World Cup victory for Jansrud, who won the super-G at the 2014 Sochi Games.The 100 points earned moved Jansrud up to second in the overall standings, 140 points behind five-time defending champion Marcel Hirscher of Austria, who does not race downhill.Adrian Smiseth Sejersted, another young Norwegian, posted his best career result in 11th, in just the fourth World Cup super-G of his career.Including his downhill victory three years ago, it was Guays fourth podium result in Val Gardena.Val Gardena has always been good to me, said Guay, who is regaining his form following his sixth knee surgery. A lot of times when I ski super-G I dont push as hard to the limits as I should but today I skied to the edge, no mistakes, clean run, and Im very happy.Conditions were perfect, with the temperature below freezing level, visibility good and the snow hard and compact.On Saturday, American skier Steven Nyman, who finished 25th, will be aiming to match Austrian great Franz Klammer and Italian skier Kristian Ghedina with his fourth Val Gardena downhill win -- although the Norwegians are also favored.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampf Tony Dorsett Womens Jersey .com) - The game was all punts and field goals before Kodi Whitfields catch.

Major League Baseball may try to suspend A-Rod under its collective bargaining agreement instead of its drug rules, which would eliminate any chance of delaying a penalty until after the case goes to an arbitrator, The Associated Press has learned. Rodriguez has never been disciplined for a drug offence, and a first offender under baseballs Joint Drug Agreement is entitled to an automatic stay if the players association files a grievance -- meaning the penalty is put on hold until after an arbitrator rules. While use of banned performance-enhancing substances falls under the drug agreement, MLB may argue other alleged violations are punishable under the labour contract, a person familiar with managements deliberations told the AP, speaking on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized. Taking that action would prevent the New York Yankees third baseman from returning to the field, even if he recovers from a quadriceps injury cited by the team as the reason for keeping him on the disabled list. And merely threatening to use that provision might give MLB leverage to force a deal. The Yankees expect Rodriguez to be accused of recruiting other athletes for the clinic, of attempting to obstruct MLBs investigation, and of not being truthful with MLB in the past when he discussed his relationship with Dr. Anthony Galea, who pleaded guilty two years ago to a federal charge of bringing unapproved drugs into the United States from Canada. Four years ago, Rodriguez admitted using PEDs while with Texas from 2001-03. He has repeatedly denied using them since. Baseball has been investigating Rodriguez and other players since a January report in the Miami New Times alleging they received PEDs from Biogenesis of America, a closed anti-aging clinic on Florida. "Were still involved in the process of preparing for an eventual appeal in this matter," Rodriguezs lawyer, David Cornwell, said Monday on ESPN New York Radio. "My understanding is that the next step that is going to be taken is that the players association and baseball will meet to discuss the investigation and baseballs focus on particular players. So well see how that process plays out. But at this point my understanding or my expectation is that were going to be working through the process towards an appeal." Cornwell did not return an email seeking comment. Aside from the drug agreement, there is no automatic stay for suspensions under baseballs labour contract. Rodriguez could be punished under Article XII (B) of the Basic Agreement, which states: "Players may be disciplined for just cause for conduct that is materially detrimental or materially prejudicial to the best interests of baseball including, but not limited to, engaging in conduct in violation of federal, state or local law." If suspended under that section, Rodriguez would serve the penalty while a grievance is litigated before arbitrator Fredric Horowitz -- unless the union asks for a stay and the arbitrator grants one, which would be unusual under the grievance procedure. And baseball could always try to punish A-Rod on drug violations later. It would be difficult for Commissioner Bud Selig to remove the arbitrator from the process. A provision in Article XI gives the commissioner peermission to rule instead of the arbitrator on a complaint "involving the preservation of the integrity of, or the maintenance of public confidence in, the game of baseball.dddddddddddd" But a letter from Selig that is Attachment 1 states: "I understand that the players association has expressed concern that the commissioner might take some action pursuant to Article XI (A) (1) (b) of the Basic Agreement which could negate rights of players under the new Basic Agreement. While I have difficulty seeing that this is a real problem, I am quite willing to assure the association that the commissioner will take no such action." In addition, if Selig attempted to bypass the arbitrator, the union would have the right to reopen the labour contract with respect to that provision. Cornwell would not respond to a report in the New York Daily News on Monday that said Selig would not pursue a lifetime ban if Rodriguez accepted a suspension through 2014. "Theres been all sorts of reports, all sorts of sources and all sorts of breaking news and breathless coverage, and I dont feel any need to respond to any of it," Cornwell told ESPN. In announcing Ryan Brauns 65-game suspension last week, MLB cited violations of both the labour contract and drug agreement. A person familiar with that deal, speaking on condition of anonymity because no statements were authorized, said 50 games of the penalty for the 2011 NL MVP were connected to Biogenesis. The additional 15 games stemmed from the Milwaukee outfielders actions during the grievance that overturned his October 2011 positive test for testosterone. Cornwell represented Braun in the 2012 hearing before arbitrator Shyam Das, but said he was not involved in Brauns agreement to be suspended. Rodriguez, who turned 38 Saturday, has not played this season following hip surgery in January. The three-time AL MVP, fifth on the career list with 647 home runs, appeared to be on the verge of rejoining New York on July 22, but the Yankees said a day earlier that an MRI revealed a strained quadriceps. Rodriguez pushed to be activated last Friday, but the Yankees said he wouldnt even resume a minor league injury rehabilitation assignment until Aug. 1. Rodriguez then went on a New York radio station to criticize the teams decision. The Miami New Times story was prompted by information provided by Porter Fischer, an ex-Biogenesis employee. "Whats been made public are various documents that a disgruntled ex-employee of Biogenesis allegedly stole. I would imagine well spend time talking with the arbitrators about the documents and things of that nature, their authenticity, their relevancy, the reliability," Cornwell told ESPN. Gary Smith, a spokesman for Fischer, responded in an email: "Cornwell can get in line with many others who want to attack Porter Fischer for exposing the truth and is left without support. He did it because it was the right thing to do." Also Monday, Toronto manager John Gibbons said he thinks Blue Jays outfielder Melky Cabrera wont be penalized. Cabrera, MVP of the 2012 All-Star game, was banned for 50 games last year for a positive testosterone test while with San Francisco. "We dont think anythings going to happen," Gibbons said. "We think, because he served his time, its over with. I havent given it much thought and the GM hasnt talked much about it." ' ' '
