The anti-doping hearing to look into whether West Indies allrounder Andre Russell missed three dope tests between January and July last year will resume on Thursday in Kingston. The hearing is significant because an athlete can be suspended for up to two years under the World Anti-Doping Agency code if he misses three tests in a year, which amount to a failed dope test.On Thursday, an independent three-member anti-doping disciplinary tribunal will hear the final written submissions made by both parties - Russell and the Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) - after which it is likely to determine whether Russell was guilty of violating WADAs whereabouts clause.Russell, a popular player in various domestic Twenty20 competitions around the world, skipped the T20I series against Pakistan and admitted that the allegations have been stressing and depressing.The following details trace the case from its beginning.Who has accused Russell of the breach? In March this year, JADCO alleged that Russell had failed to file his whereabouts three times between January and July 2015, citing the dates of January 1, July 1 and July 25.What is Russell in breach of? JADCOs main claim is that Russell was negligent in filing his whereabouts. Its executive director, Carey Brown, told the tribunal that workshops had been organised between 2014-16 where athletes, including cricketers, were educated on the WADA guidelines and details of filing of the whereabouts clause. He also said that Russell had been contacted via email, on phone and letters by JADCO to remind him about filing his whereabouts on the three occasions he missed the tests.Tajae Smith, one of the JADCO officials, said that he had guided Judith Lue, a travel consultant authorised by Russell to help him with his visas and such, to file the whereabouts at least twice. Lue had told the tribunal that she had filed the whereabouts for Russell on JADCOs website twice last year with Smiths help: on February 17 and April 1.Nadia Vassell, the whereabouts officer and director of technical services at JADCO, who was also the first witness, told Russells legal counsel, Patrick Forster, that a first reminder was sent through a letter on July 6, 2015. An extension was given to Russell to file his whereabouts by July 13, 2015. On July 20, Vassell sent another email to Russell asking him to file his whereabouts by July 24.What was Russells defence? While deposing before the tribunal, Russell pointed out that he had authorised Smith and his agent Will Quinn to take care of the process since he was not properly trained to carry out the whereabouts filing on his own. He said the reason behind someone else filing it was because of his unavailability due to his cricket commitments.At a hearing on July 20 last year, Forster said that JADCOs Vassell failed to copy her response to an e-mail from Quinn sighting an extension for Russell to file his whereabouts for the third test scheduled for July 25, 2015. Vassell admitted she had not sent the e-mail to Russell. Since two the alleged filing failures occurred last July, Forster said he was trying to establish that procedural breaches by JADCO could mean there was actually just one violation on Russells behalf.Russell admitted that he understood the notice sent to him last March informing him about this first filing failure on January 1. But the West Indies allrounder said he did not understand the language in the second notice which was on the second filing failure on July 1. However Lackston Robinson, JADCOs counsel, argued the language in both notices was the same.Russell also pointed out that he received a fresh communique from JADCO on September 19, on his third failed test that was scheduled for July 25 last year. Russell said he was confused since he had thought Quinn had sorted the matter with JADCO over the extension. But Robinson countered saying Russell would have known about the exchanges between Quinn and JADCO as he was also copied on the email.What happens now? On Thursday, the tribunal will hear the final written submissions by both parties. Counsels representing Russell and JADCO were expected to file their written submissions by November 7.Who sits on the independent panel? Hugh Faulkner is the chairman of the three-member panel which includes Dr Marjorie Vassell and Dixeth Palmer, a former Jamaica cricketer.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. -- After going 3-9 last season and winning only one Big Ten game, Maryland now needs one victory to become bowl eligible.First-year coach DJ Durkin insists thats not a topic of discussion in the locker room. That doesnt mean the Terrapins (5-2, 2-2) are oblivious to the significance of Saturdays game at Indiana (3-4, 1-3).It honestly feels really good, getting an opportunity at Indiana to get that sixth win, senior quarterback Perry Hills said. Especially after what we went through last year.A year ago, Hills threw 13 interceptions and only eight touchdown passes. Coach Randy Edsall was fired in the middle of the season, and Maryland lost eight straight before beating Rutgers in the season finale.This season, Hills leads the Big Ten in completion percentage (66.4) and passing efficiency (151.8). More importantly, hes got eight TD passes and two interceptions.His value to the team can be measured by what Maryland does -- or cant do -- without him. Hills exited late in the second quarter at Penn State on Oct. 8, and the Terrapins went scoreless in the second half of a 38-14 defeat. He sat out the entire game the following week, a 31-10 loss against visiting Minnesota.In his return last Saturday night, Hills went 21 for 27 for 200 yards and two scores in a 28-17 victory over Michigan State.Perry has always been a leader by example with his work ethic and his toughness, Durkin said. Now, hes playing successfully at the quarterback position. We have always believed that Perry can get the job done. Hes had some ups and downs throughout his career, so its great to see him playing with confidence.ddddddddddddHills has twice torn his ACL and been in and out of the starting lineup before getting to this point. Now, as the Terrapins stand on the cusp of bowl eligibility, hes poised to check that accomplishment off the list.Obviously, we have goals as a team. The first step would be to get those six wins, Hills said. Then, a Big Ten championship and a national championship.The latter two objectives might be out of reach this season, but Durkin hopes the team is headed in that direction. Hes utilized more than dozen true freshmen with designs of building a squad capable of competing with Ohio State, Michigan and the other Big Ten powerhouses.These freshmen dont look out of place, Durkin said. Were building this thing for the long term. This playing time is valuable moving forward. Were rotating guys at every position. Thats how you build a program the right way.That could be one reason why Durkin isnt focused on the ramifications of gaining bowl eligibility at Indiana.Its not something weve ever talked about, he said. Were just trying to be the best team we can be week-to-week. When you take care of things that way, you find yourself where you want to be at the end of the season.The point is, why stop now?We missed the mark last year, but I dont think our goal ends at six wins, guard Mike Minter said. We want to win every one of them.--Online:More AP College Football: www.collegefootball.ap.org Wholesale Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jersyes Cheap Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys cheap jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys Cheap Jerseys From China Cheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
