--- NCAA sanctions Missouri Western women’s hoops By HEATHER HOLLINGSWORTH, Associated Press Writer Jul 8, 6:18 pm EDT KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP)–The NCAA put the women’s basketball program at Missouri Western on probation for two years and threw out some 50 victories Wednesday as punishment for allowing an ineligible athlete to play for two seasons that included a conference championship for the Division II program. Besides the ineligible athlete, whose play was deemed a major violation, the NCAA also found that a former student-athlete received extra benefits from a former coach, a secondary infraction. The school, in St. Joseph, also lost a scholarship to offer and was barred from recruiting abroad for approximately the next year. The probation expires in July 2011. |

| 2008-04-20 | Trailer_Trash | Chargers | Nuisance | Crime Link | 4 | Chargers inside linebacker Stephen Cooper was suspended for four games by the NFL on Tuesday for testing positive for a banned stimulant.
Cooper, who moved into the starting lineup last season and led the Chargers with 179 tackles, said in a statement released by the team that he took a stimulant that was recently added to the NFL’s list of prohibited substances. "I regret that I mistakenly took a stimulant that I did not realize at the time was banned by the NFL," Cooper said. "I support the NFL’s anti-doping policies, and understand that I must serve a suspension even though the stimulant that I took was not used before any game and was not used to enhance my performance. "I apologize to the NFL, my team, my coaches and to my fans, and I look forward to continuing to help the Chargers toward our goal of winning the Super Bowl in the upcoming season." Neither Cooper nor his agent could immediately be reached for further comment. While at Maine, Cooper admitted to possession of steroids after being found with about 1,000 pills in his duffel bag when the driver of an SUV he was riding in was stopped for speeding in 2002. Cooper, who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor drug charge, said at the time that he never took the steroids, but had been planning to use them to bulk up in hopes of making the NFL. It’s the second time since 2006 a Chargers linebacker has been suspended for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Star outside linebacker Shawne Merriman served a four-game suspension in 2006 after testing positive for steroids. General manager A.J. Smith said the suspension was "very disappointing." "Coop has embarrassed himself, his family and the Chargers," Smith told The Associated Press. "He made a mistake. Some people learn from their mistakes, others do not. I do believe Stephen Cooper will learn from his and in a positive way. Only time will tell." Smith said he didn’t know what stimulant Cooper tested positive for. Cooper’s suspension begins on Saturday, Aug. 30 following the Chargers’ final exhibition game. He is eligible to return to the active roster on Monday, Sept. 29 following the team’s Sunday game against the Oakland Raiders. Cooper can participate in the team’s offseason program and in all preseason practices and games. "Obviously we’re disappointed, just as I know Stephen is," coach Norv Turner said in a statement. "Coop made a mistake and now must deal with the consequences. It’s unfortunate, but we’ll deal with it and move on." |
| 2008-04-20 | Trailer_Trash | Devil Rays | Nuisance | Crime Link | 4 | Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Al Reyes was shocked with a stun gun and arrested early Friday after police say he fell against a ceramic pot in a bar, got up and picked a fight with a man he thought pushed him.
The reliever apologized to teammates, fans and the entire Rays organization before Friday night’s game against Baltimore, and manager Joe Maddon said the club was not planning any disciplinary action. "I tried to have a good time on my birthday, but I guess it was the worst one," said Reyes, who was in uniform at Tropicana Field and available to pitch against the Orioles. "I just want to apologize again to my teammates, the whole organization ... for what happened last night." Reyes, 0-1 with a 27.00 ERA in two appearances this season, did not take questions. He was treated at the scene for a cut on his nose and was charged with being in a fight that disturbed the peace. Eduardo Mora was charged with battery. Both men were released on their own recognizance. "It’s just one of those unfortunate, isolated incidents. I don’t really believe you’re going to see that happen again with Al," Maddon said. "We’re just going to move beyond it. It’s just unfortunate that it occurred." Witnesses told officers that Reyes, who turned 38 on Thursday, appeared to be intoxicated when he exchanged words with Mora, who punched the 6-foot-1, 240-pound pitcher in the face at the Hyde Park Cafe around 2:30 a.m. A police statement said that when bouncers grabbed Mora, Reyes began spitting blood on patrons and swinging his arms. When the bouncers were unable to control Reyes, a police officer working extra duty at the club intervened, asking Reyes to stop. When the pitcher "continued spitting blood and thrashing about," the officer told Reyes he was going to use his Taser, which knocked Reyes to the ground. He was shocked a second time after not complying with commands to stay down. |

Regardless, Belichick apologized again for the Patriots’ actions. "I respect the integrity of the game and always have and always will," Belichick said. "I regret that any of this, or to whatever extent, it has in any way brought that into question or discussion or debate. The decision was made by the commissioner, the practice was immediately stopped, and we’re not doing it. "Just going back over the whole taping incident, if I contacted the league and asked them about the practice, I’m sure they would have told me -- as they have done -- that it is not permissible. Then I could have avoided all of this. "I take responsibility for it. Even though I felt there was a gray area in the rule and I misinterpreted the rule, that was my mistake and we’ve been penalized for it. I apologize to everybody that is involved -- the league, the other teams, the fans, our team |

During the second period of game, which ended in a 1-1 tie, a television camera showed Hakstol sticking up his middle finger at referee Don Adam after the two discussed a penalty call. Acting University of North Dakota athletic directors Betty Ralston and Steve Brekke announced the suspension on Monday. "We expect our coaches to keep themselves and their teams in control at all times," Ralston said. "Profane language and poor behavior on the part of our coaches and student-athletes is unacceptable." The Sioux have this week off before playing host to Denver on Feb. 15-16. Hakstol will not coach the two-game series, UND said. Western Collegiate Hockey Association Commissioner Bruce McLeod said Hakstol violated the league’s code of sportsmanlike conduct. The WCHA issued a reprimand to Hakstol on Monday and said it endorsed the UND suspension. "We appreciate the rapid response and action taken by the University of North Dakota today and we are in complete agreement with that decision," the WCHA said in a statement. Hakstol called Adam after the game to personally apologize, and issued a statement Sunday. "I would like to sincerely apologize to our fans, players and entire program, as well as all college hockey fans, the WCHA and Don Adam for my actions during the second period of last night’s game versus the University of Minnesota," Hakstol’s statement said. "I’m disappointed in myself for allowing my emotions and frustrations to get the better of me. I pride myself in not allowing this type of thing to occur. "Most importantly, I am a parent before I am a coach, and I understand the responsibility that we carry as coaches within the WCHA to young hockey fans and families everywhere. I have evaluated and feel terrible about my actions and can assure everyone that such a thing will never happen again." |
