BEIJING -- Swimming officials from Australia and China have joined the fray as a feud over doping between swimmers Mack Horton and Sun Yang boils over at the Rio Olympics.The Chinese Swimming Association asked Horton on Monday to apologize for his inappropriate words after he labeled Sun a drug cheat -- a reference to Suns three-month suspension in 2014 over banned heart medication. Australias Olympic Committee shot back in Hortons defense hours later, saying he was speaking his mind in support of clean athletes and wished him luck.We have no intention of making an apology, Kitty Chiller, Australias chef de mission at the Olympics, said in Rio.Horton, 20, took a dig at Sun while the two attended a news conference Saturday after Horton unseated the Chinese defending champion in the 400-meter freestyle. It was the second time in days that Horton had publicly referred to Suns drug suspension as part of what the Australian team acknowledged is a campaign to unsettle the Chinese star.Sun had earlier been accused of splashing water at Horton in an apparent attempt to get his attention, and Horton made his initial drug cheat reference when asked why he had ignored Sun.We would urge athletes to respect their fellow competitors, International Olympic Committee spokesman Mark Adams said Monday.Sun, 24, who won two golds at the 2012 London Games, has a long history of bad behavior and tangling with others. He has been accused of disruptive pool behavior by swimmers -- both men and women -- from several countries. The Chinese team briefly banned him from competing after a raft of disciplinary issues, including crashing a friends Porsche SUV into a bus in 2013 while driving without a license, landing him in jail.Sun has previously said he did not know the medication trimetazidine, which he took for chronic heart palpitations, had been placed on the banned list when he tested positive.The 2-meter (6-foot-6-inch) Chinese star burst into tears Sunday after losing to Horton, garnering an outpouring of support from Chinese social media users who pilloried Horton on his Facebook page. The Australian was accused of snubbing Suns attempt to congratulate him on his win immediately after the race, although the two did briefly shake hands later at the podium.Mack obviously has very strong views about the need for clean sport, as every single one of us does, and he has every right to express his views and his displeasure in that sense, Chiller said.Chinese swim team manager Xu Qi also laid into Horton, saying the Australian had hurt the feelings between Chinese and Australian swimmers and showed a lack of good manners and upbringing, according to the official Xinhua news agency.Sun, who has largely refrained from firing back at his rival and has called for respect for all athletes, appeared to get his swagger back Monday. He told reporters at an Olympic village bus stop that he is the king in the 1,500-meter freestyle event scheduled for Sunday, when he will again compete against Horton. When prodded, he added that he was no friend of Hortons.The spiraling row has generated a shrill response from Chinese media during what has already been a period of elevated tensions after Australia voiced opposition in recent weeks to Chinese claims of maritime territory.On Monday, Xinhua released a slew of gently critical articles on topics ranging from Australian trade policy to Melbournes quality of life. The Global Times tabloid opted for a more blunt approach, referring to Australia in a commentary as a former British offshore prison that is on the fringes of civilization.We dont know if it is Horton who is silly or its the Australian media that is evil, or perhaps Australia just has a different moral standard, the newspaper said. No one should be surprised at uncivilized acts emanating from the country.Bryant Reeves Grizzlies Jersey . The CFLs leading rusher kept adding to his gaudy numbers this season and scored the winning touchdown with just over two minutes to play. The New Westminster, B.C., native plowed three yards into the end zone for the last score of a heated, see-saw battle between the two teams with the best records in the CFL.

The Badgers have lost five of their last eight vs. the SEC, but only one of those losses was by more than 10 points -- last years 18-point loss to eventual national champion Alabama. Included in that stretch is a four-point loss to LSU in the 2014 season opener, which happened to be Leonard Fournettes first game.I think Wisconsins front seven could have some success in slowing down Fournette, but inexperience in the secondary could mean QB Brandon Harris is set for a big day. It will be close for a while, but I expect the Tigers to ultimately pull away and wear downn the Badgers late.ddddddddddddATS pick: LSU 33, Wisconsin 17 (Confidence 6/10)Coughlin: There is a trend when you look at some of these matchups of the great first weekend of college football we have. The trend is that some coaches have left the school they coached at last season and are now facing that school in Week 1. Example No. 1 is new LSU defensive coordinator, Dave Aranda, who called the defensive signals last year for the Badgers. Is this a major advantage for the Tigers? When you look at the talent the LSU defense has, I believe this is a bigger than normal advantage, resulting in the Tigers getting some turnovers.Another factor when you look at this game is the expectations of LSU coming into this season, especially because of the way last season ended. As much as people want to talk about Fournette, the season still hangs on the play of quarterback Harris. He has wide receivers who have potential to be first round picks in Malachi Dupre and Travin Dural, so if he can take care of the football and get those guys some targets and mix in a little -- or a lot -- of Fournette, I dont think the Badgers can stop them. Therefore, I like a lot of points to be scored in this game. Take the over.Pick: LSU 31, Wisconsin 17 (over the total of 44.5 points) ' ' '
