who was picked ahead of him for the R

Who will win each pool in the Champions Cup? Ahead of Fridays start, we give you the essential run down ahead of round one of Europes premier tournament.Pool 1Teams:?Racing 92, Leicester Tigers, Glasgow Warriors, MunsterForm: Top 14 champions Racing 92 have started the season slowly and are currently in 11th in the French top flight but with players like Dan Carter, Juan Imhoff and Johan Goosen in their ranks, they know what it takes to produce the goods on the biggest stage. Glasgow and Munster are seventh and third in the PRO12 respectively but both will be hopeful of getting through the pool. And Leicester, who have won the title two times, are fourth in the Premiership but have the supremely talented Matt Toomua in their ranks as they look to assert some authority on the tournament.?Player to Watch: Wallaby inside centre Matt Toomua, who is currently injured, will set the tournament alight when he returns from his spell on the sidelines. Hes one of the most gifted playmakers in world rugby and will find himself right at home in the Champions Cup.?Pool-defining tie: The Round 3 tie between Leicester and Munster at Thomond Park should be an absolute belter.Prediction: It is fiercely hard to call but Leicester Tigers will go through with Munster.Pool 2Teams: Connacht, Toulouse, Wasps, ZebreForm: Wasps have started the Aviva Premiership season in fine form, and their new-look midfield of Danny Cipriani, Jimmy Gopperth and Elliot Daly had fired them to the top of the table before Sundays defeat to Saracens. PRO12 champions Connacht have found defending their crown slightly more difficult than winning it, however, and have won only two of their opening five games this season. Although, thats still more than Zebre who remain winless. Toulouse, meanwhile, have endured a stop-start opening to the Top 14 campaign and head into the Champions Cup on the back of a narrow defeat to Clermont.Player to Watch: Bundee Aki was arguably the star of Connachts PRO12 success last term -- scooping the leagues players player award -- and all eyes will be on how he acquits himself on the continental games biggest stage. Especially in the absence of Robbie Henshaw.Pool-defining tie: Connacht travel to Coventry to face Wasps on Dec. 11. If the Irish province want to progress then they need a result.Prediction: Connacht and Toulouse certainly wont roll over, but Wasps look too strong not to qualify as pool winners.Pool 3Teams: Sale, Saracens, Scarlets, ToulonForm: Mark McCalls Saracens side appears to be hitting its straps just at the right time, after a dominant defeat of Wasps last weekend took them top of the Premiership table. Sale have found wins a little harder to come by, and were unable to capitalise on a promising victory against Leicester as they lost heavily at Bath last time out. Toulon, meanwhile, head into continental competition bolstered by back-to-back wins and ominously have scored 20 or more points in all eight of their Top 14 matches thus far. Scarlets opened the season with three defeats, but have bounced back to record as many consecutive PRO12 wins.Player to Watch: Englands injury woes have put even more focus on Maro Itoje, and the supremely talented 21-year-old can help drive Saracens towards the knockout stage.?Pool-defining tie: Toulon host Saracens in the pools first game of the competition, and it looks as though it could be the most important too. Victory would put Saracens in total control of the group.Prediction: Saracens are defending champions and should emerge. If Toulon play to their capabilities then they might just join them in the knockout phase too.Pool 4Teams: Castres, Leinster, Montpellier, NorthamptonForm: Montpelliers win over Pool 4 rivals Castres last weekend has given them momentum heading into their Champions Cup campaign. Jake Whites Montpellier head to Northampton second in the Top 14, having won five of their last six games. Castres on the other hand go into continental competition following back-to-back defeats and in the lower reaches despite a promising start. Northampton will also be looking to kickstart their season having won just two of six Premiership games, while Leinster have made an impressive start to the PRO12 season, and beat Munster last time out.Player to Watch: Garry Ringrose has continued his development, starting five of Leinsters six matches this season. His midfield partnership with Robbie Henshaw could prove pivotal to the Irish provinces hopes this season.Pool-defining tie: Montpellier could arrive in Dublin in Round 5 needing a win to progress. Not traditionally great travellers, theyve only twice on their previous nine away trips in Europe, bucking that trend at Leinster would be some achievement.Prediction: This could be an extremely close pool, but Leinster should have enough to win it. How many points the other sides take off each other will decide if anyone goes through with them.Pool 5Teams: Bordeaux-Begles, Clermont, Exeter, UlsterForm: Clermont begin the Champions Cup season in flying form, having tasted just one defeat -- against Toulon -- and currently lead the Top 14. Their five victories included a 40-16 defeat of Pool 5 rivals Bordeaux-Begles, who remain just five points adrift of?Franck Azémas side domestically. Exeter have begun the season sluggishly, falling to opening defeats to Wasps and Saracens, and picking up just two wins in four since. Ulster have had no such problems in the PRO12, ?although defeat to Connacht last weekend has robbed them of their perfect start.Player to Watch: Charles Piutau has not recovered from a concussion in time to face Bordeaux this weekend, but he could be Ulsters key man as they bid to make the knockout stages.Pool-defining tie: Clermont visit the Kingspan Stadium on Dec. 10 and if Ulster want to progress then it is a match they must win. Especially as they head to the south of France eight days later.Prediction: It is hard to look past Clermont as group winners, but all four teams will believe they can progress.

The Wrestling Federation of India has publicly and clearly backed Narsingh Yadav, who has tested positive for banned substances, and said it hopes he will represent India at the Rio Olympics. We believe Narsingh has been unfairly targeted, WFI president Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh said at a press conference in New Delhi on Monday.Narsingh had tested positive in tests conducted by the National Anti-Doping Agency, which announced its findings on Sunday. NADAs inquiry process is being conducted by its Anti-Doping Disciplinary Panel, which is next due to meet on Wednesday, and Sharan said he hoped the inquiry would clear him.The revelation put Narsinghs participation in the Rio Olympics -- where he is in the 74kg category -- in doubt. The details of the drug test will only be revealed upon the end of the appeals process, as per the NADA protocol. It is, however, understood that the alleged substance Narsingh has tested positive for is the S1. anabolic agent methyldienolone, which is known to lead to an increase in muscle and weight. It is a choice of substance found more often in the positive tests of weightlifters.Sharan said the director-general of the Sports Authority of India had heard about a threat to Narsingh and asked him to practise elsewhere. Narsingh, Sharan said, had replied that he would rather practise in Sonepat because the coaches were there, as were others going to the Olympics and he would get sparring partners.Sonepat is a kushti (wrestling) hub, the wrestlers are from nearby areas, Haryana, railways, Delhi, Sharan said. However, I would think looking back that maybe the DG SAI was right at the time. Something like this has not happened elsewhere in India, and maybe we didnt take the threat issue that seriously.Explaining the sequence of events, Sharan said: When Narsingh let us know on July 19 about the positive dope test, we immediately informed the ministry and the government. There is a very good team that has been appointed to monitor the situation.He said the case of Sandeep Yadav, Narsinghs roommate who also tested positive, would be dealt with at the same time and thhey expect the NADA judgement to be delivered on Wednesday.ddddddddddddSharan spoke of Narsinghs exemplary record, having participated in more than 50 international and national events, and many dope tests. The people in NADA in fact tell us that he is one of those athletes who doesnt have a moments hesitation in being tested if he is asked. When he says he hasnt taken any drug or contaminated substance, I will believe him. It is our duty to look after our players and make them feel secure.Asked if this development meant that India had lost its quota in the Olympics, Sharan said the WFI had been in touch with the United World Wrestling and the IOA. We asked them to give us a chance, and pointed out that the investigation was under way.We are not saying its a conspiracy; Narsingh has made this complaint in a written statement. My personal view is also that 120 athletes have qualified for Rio and he is the only one to have been tested positive and that too with a drug which his sport has nothing to do with. It is for muscle development and his muscles are fine.Reacting to the controversy, Sushil Kumar tweeted that the dope scandal surrounding Narsingh, who was picked ahead of him for the Rio Olympics, is unfortunate and that he will always support his fellow grapplers.very unfortunate 2 see the Wrestling go through this. I hv given my life to ot & wl always support fellow wrestlers pic.twitter.com/CUsbIGf8Gb- Sushil Kumar (@WrestlerSushil) July 25, 2016Vijay Goel, the sports minister, said that Narsingh would be given a fair chance to defend himself, and his?dope case would be dealt as per international rules with the strict implementation of the WADA code.?NADA is an autonomous body established under the WADA code to promote clean sports and check doping, he said. In Narsinghs case, we will ensure that WADA code is implemented. We are committed to the WADA code. There will be justice under the rules and beyond that there is nothing much we can do in this case.
