LONDON (AP) — Olympic officials agree that more targeted, out-of-competition testing in high-profile sports is needed to catch the drug cheats who are escaping the net, IOC President Jacques Rogge said Wednesday.

Rogge told The Associated Press that sports leaders who attended a summit at IOC headquarters in Switzerland concluded that better testing — rather than more tests — is the best way forward in the anti-doping fight.

Drug-testing strategies...

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.
