MOSCOW (AP) — Sochi Olympic organizers say authorities will ensure security at the "highest possible level."
A deadly bombing at the Boston Marathon in April has revived fears of security arrangements at the 2014 Games in Sochi, the resort town on the edge of Russia's restive southern provinces which have been engulfed in Islamic insurgency.
Sochi organizing committee leader Dmitry Chernyshenko said Wednesday that the government is doing its best to...
STORRS, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut center Enosch Wolf has been reinstated to the team following a decision last month by prosecutors to drop charges in a domestic violence case.
UConn says the 7-foot-1 center can return for the 2013-14 season, but as a non-scholarship player.
Wolf averaged 3.4 points and 3.4 rebounds for the Huskies last season before being suspended after his Feb. 11 arrest. Police say Wolf got into a physical confrontation with a...
LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Former Olympic champion Koji Murofushi has lost his appeal against disqualification from an election to become an IOC member representing athletes.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport says it dismissed the Japanese hammer thrower's challenge of an IOC decision excluding him, after claims he excessively lobbied fellow athletes ahead of voting at the London Olympics.
Despite ruling against the 2004 Athens Games champion and...
The NFL is free to twist arms, just like anybody else. So maybe it's just coincidence that all five of the new stadiums that will come on line during Roger Goodell's brief tenure as NFL commissioner have now been awarded Super Bowls.
Or maybe not.
Goodell emerged from an owners meeting Tuesday in Boston to announce that the 2016 Superpalooza — the 50th anniversary of the game — was awarded to a nearly-open-for-business stadium in Santa Clara that...
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — If the Western Conference finals seem the slightest bit over after two San Antonio wins, hold that thought for a minute.
The Spurs have been here before and don't feel at all comfortable with a 2-0 lead. And if there's any team that's not fazed by such a hole, it's the Memphis Grizzlies.
With the series shifting to Tennessee for Game 3 on Saturday, it's just starting to get interesting.
Tony Parker had 15...
SAN JOSE, Calif. (AP) — The San Jose Sharks barely held off the Los Angeles Kings at the end for a second straight home win.
Now the job gets really tough: The Sharks know they need to end the home-team dominance if they have any chance of winning this second-round series.
Brent Burns got San Jose off to a fast start with a quick score and Logan Couture added a power-play goal early in the second period before the Sharks held on for a 2-1 victory...
NEW YORK (AP) — John Tortorella's message isn't going to change even though his New York Rangers are in an even more desperate situation than before their latest loss to the Boston Bruins.
The margin of error went from slim to none in an uncharacteristic home loss that put the Broadway Blueshirts on the brink of elimination.
New York squandered a one-goal lead in the third period and lost 2-1 on Tuesday night to fall into an 0-3 series hole. The...

BOSTON (AP) — Build a new stadium, host the Super Bowl to show it off.
The NFL rewarded the San Francisco Bay Area on Tuesday with hosting rights for the 2016 championship game, slotting the 50th Super Bowl in the 49ers' high-tech Santa Clara stadium scheduled to open next year.
The league also voted at its spring meetings to give the 2017 game to Houston, which last hosted the big game in 2004.
"After losing a Super Bowl, it...
