RIO DE JANEIRO -- Less than a week before the opening of the Olympics, IOC leaders will meet in Rio de Janeiro this weekend to review the final preparations for the games and deal with the fallout from the doping scandal that has led to the exclusion of more than 100 Russian athletes.The International Olympic Committees ruling executive board opens a two-day meeting on Saturday, its last formal gathering before next Friday nights opening ceremony at the Maracana stadium.The meeting comes less than a week after the IOC board decided not to ban Russias entire team from the games because of state-sponsored doping. Rejecting calls by more than a dozen anti-doping agencies for a complete ban on Russia, the IOC left it to individual sports federations to vet which athletes could compete or not.Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko said Friday that, so far, 272 of the countrys athletes had been cleared by international federations, out of an original team of 387. More than 100, however, have been barred -- including the track and field team banned by the IAAF and more than 30 other athletes rejected under new IOC eligibility criteria.Russias eight-member weightlifting team was kicked out of the games on Friday for what the international federation called extremely shocking doping results that brought the sport into disrepute.The IOC has been roundly criticized by anti-doping bodies, athletes groups and Western media for not imposing a total ban on Russia. Pressure for the full sanction followed a World Anti-Doping Agency report by Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren that accused Russias sports ministry of overseeing a vast doping conspiracy involving the countrys summer and winter sports athletes.Bach has defended the decision as protecting individual athletes from collective punishment.This is a decision we just had the opportunity to discuss with some athletes, Bach said in Rio. I think the general feeling is that it is appreciated that, on the one hand, we are sanctioning a (doping) system, but on the other hand we have given athletes who were not part of the system the opportunity to demonstrate this and then to be allowed to take part in the Olympic Games.Rios preparations, meanwhile, remain clouded on several fronts, including budget cuts, raw sewage that pollutes the sites of rowing, sailing, canoeing, open water swimming and triathlon, slow ticket sales, and concerns over crime and the Zika virus. The games come with the president awaiting an impeachment trial and the country gripped by a severe recession.The Australians and at least eight other Olympic teams complained this week about their accommodations in the athletes village, citing plumbing leaks, electrical faults and dirty conditions. On Friday, Australian athletes and staff had to be evacuated from their building after a small fire broke out in the basement. They returned safely after about 20 minutes.Bach remains publicly upbeat.In the end you will see a fantastic Olympic Village and great games, he said. The Brazilians will overwhelm all of us with their passion, with their joy of life, their great hospitality, and with their energy.The full IOC will hold a three-day session next week, starting Tuesday. A top item on the agenda is Wednesdays vote on a recommendation to add five sports to the program of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics -- baseball/softball, surfing, karate, skate boarding and sport climbing.The proposed sports -- backed by the executive board and to be voted on as a package -- would add 18 events and 474 athletes to the program.An IOC program commission report released on Friday said the five sports are a blend of the traditional and emerging, youth-focused events, and all have international and local appeal.--This story has been corrected to show that skate boarding not roller skating is one of the 5 proposed new sports for 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The Jacksonville Jaguars have a bright spot in the franchises darkest season.Coach Gus Bradleys defense ranks fourth in the NFL in yards allowed and has been at its best the last five weeks. The unit has surrendered 258 yards a game over the last five weeks and given the Jaguars (2-10) a chance to win each time out.Were becoming the defense that were supposed to be, defensive tackle Malik Jackson said Wednesday.It clearly hasnt been enough since Jacksonville has lost seven in a row heading into Sundays game against Minnesota (6-6), which has dropped six of seven . But its surely something for owner Shad Khan and general manager Dave Caldwell to consider when they start making moves at the end of the season.It wouldnt be surprising to see first-year defensive coordinator Todd Wash stick around and get a chance to take his 4-3 scheme to the next level, especially with so much young talent on that side of the ball.Rookie cornerback Jalen Ramsey, linebacker Telvin Smith and defensive ends Yannick Ngakoue and Dante Fowler Jr. are cornerstones. Jackson, veteran safety Tashaun Gipson, cornerback Aaron Colvin and rookie linebacker Myles Jack provide more building blocks for a defense that was among the worst in the league in 2015.The Jaguars committed nearly $130 million in free agency to sign Jackson and Gipson, and then got better-than-expected contributions from Ramsey, fellow rookie Ngakoue and third-year pro Smith.Combining seven newcomers with a handful of returners took time to jell. But the results have shown in recent weeks.You never know how fast its going to happen, Bradley said. I think guys really understand their roles and theyre playing fast because of it. Its impressive what those guys have done in how they have come together.The Jaguars enjoyed their best defensive effort in Bradleys four seasons last week against Denver. They held the Broncos to 206 yards and 1-for-13 on third down. Denver still won, though, because it forced Jacksonville into three turnovers that led to 10 points.When you know you have arrived is when a defense starts dicctating the outcome of the game, Bradley said.dddddddddddd You saw Denver get a Pick-6, another interception and you feel like their defense really dictated the outcome of that game. Thats the mark of a really good defense. Really good defense. Right now were not there yet. Were not dictating the outcome of it, but not to be confused with a talented defense that really has the arrow up.Youre really excited about this group of guys. Really excited.The one thing the Jaguars need to do better defensively is create turnovers. They have an NFL-low seven takeaways and have gone eight games with an interception.In every other category, were killing it, Jackson said. But weve just got to do more.The defense has had plenty of chances to do more, including dropping interceptions against Kansas City and Denver. The unit also got robbed of a turnover against Buffalo, when officials inadvertently whistled a play dead as running back LeSean McCoy was getting the ball stripped out of his grasp.The balls just not bouncing our way right way, safety Johnathan Cyprien said. Were causing a fumble, but the referee blow the whistle and its dead. Or maybe we drop an interception. Its just problems, weird things happening. Its plays we can do in our sleep, but it just so happens that were not capitalizing. Weve got to continue to fight through it.Regardless, theres much more good going on than bad on defense -- a significant change from recent years and something to build on moving forward.Obviously, this season didnt work out the way we wanted, veteran linebacker Paul Posluszny said. But we still have four games to kind of make our mark. It took a little time for everyone to catch on, but were starting to go now.Imagine when all these guys are second-, third- and fourth-year players. If these guys can be together for several years, they have a chance to be an awesome, awesome defense.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
