The head coach of the University of Saskatchewan Huskies says he suspects football players at the majority of CIS schools are using banned substances, a declaration that comes as some officials say Canadian college football is a "wild west" where players dope without fear of detection and the Canadian government is seizing millions of dollars worth of illegal steroids at the border. Air Max 95 Pas Cher Solde . "If every school in the CIS came in and tested their entire team, most, if not all, would find one or two (players doping)," said Brian Towriss, Saskatchewans longtime coach. "Some might have eight or ten." Towriss received a tip in the spring that some of his own players were using banned substances, after former Huskies linebacker Seamus Neary was arrested on drug charges. Police found 14 pounds of marijuana in a rental storage locker and charged Neary with possession for the purpose of trafficking. Towriss had his entire football team tested for banned substances in March. Each player was given a urine test and 20 players were tested for blood doping by the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport. While urine tests typically detect anabolic steroids, some athletes have started using human growth hormone, which can only be detected in the blood. Towriss said he cant release the results of the investigation for another several weeks — six full months after the samples were taken. "We had suspicion enough that we wanted to test everybody and we tested everybody," Towriss told TSN. "Within 10 days this should resolve itself… My frustration is the time lag. Those kids got treated in March. We didnt have final results until the end of June or later on the blood. From a coachs perspective, we went five months, spring practice and everything, and we just didnt know." As TSN recently reported, several university officials say Canadian college football has become a "wild west" where athletes are doping without fear of being caught. Thats because the Canadian government, which funds the CCES, is demanding that most of the testing be done on athletes who represent Canada in the Olympics or other international competition. College football and hockey have become virtual afterthoughts. This year, the CCES is planning 200 tests for nearly 11,000 CIS athletes. "Thats pathetic," said Don Hooton, president of the Taylor Hooton Foundation in Washington, which educates the public about steroid abuse. "Its going to take a lot more than 200 tests to root the problem out." Ira Jacobs, Dean of the University of Torontos Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education, told TSN the CIS has become a "wild west" where athletes know how to game the system. CCES chief operating officer Doug MacQuarrie told TSN, "the facts remain that we implement with the resources that are available. We are calling on many stakeholders to contribute." Hooton said a study published this month by the Partnership for Drug Free Kids, a non-profit group in New York, reveals that seven per cent of U.S. high school students admit to using steroids, up from six per cent two years ago. Some 11 per cent of students said they used human growth hormone, up from six per cent two years ago. "The numbers are staggering," said Hooton, who started the foundation after son Taylor hanged himself in his room in 2003 during withdrawal from steroids. "There is no reason to think the numbers are appreciably different in Canada." Towriss told TSN that after a scandal at the University of Waterloo in 2010, when the football program was suspended after a wave of players were discovered using steroids, there was a brief period when drug testing increased. He said it was typical for as many as eight players to be tested by the CCES at training camp, with another eight facing random tests midseason. There would also be tests following playoff games. "We hadnt seen anyone tested, maybe one person tested after a playoff game, in four years," Towriss said in an interview. Towriss said hes cant release the results of his schools investigation yet, but it wont threaten the programs upcoming season. "If it was large-scale it would have been a big hit, but maybe that would be a good thing," he said. "We didnt think it was, and it was proven that way." Justin MacNeill, a spokesman for the CCES, said that his agency has received the reported results for all of the University of Saskatchewan testing mission. "The process for managing results under the (Canadian anti-doping program) is underway," he said. "CCES does not typically report negative results and any determinations of anti-doping rule violations would be publicly reported as per the requirements of the CADP." Some officials worry that most of the 200 tests the CIS has planned for the upcoming academic year are urine tests, which experts say dont detect human growth hormone. Doug MacQuarrie, the CCESs chief operating officer, refused to say whether any athletes would be tested for blood doping. "While the CCES has confirmed publicly that it plans to conduct approximately 200 tests on athletes who compete in Canadian university sport, we do not disclose details associated with our testing plans," he said. "However, we can confirm all athletes subject to the Canadian Anti-Doping Program could be tested at any time, and that any test may include analysis for human growth hormone." There are other reasons for concern. According to data collected by the Canada Border Services Agency and obtained by TSN, Canadian federal officials over the past five years have secured $20.4 million worth of illegal steroids in 10,890 seizures at border entry points. In 2013, some $2.1 million worth of steroids was seized during 1,837 seizures—which works out to five seizures per day. "As smugglers are increasingly utilizing more sophisticated concealment methods in smuggling attempts, the CBSA employs a number of tools to stop the flow of illegal and prohibited materials into Canada," said Esme Bailey, a CBSA spokesperson. "Contraband Detection tools such as the Gamma-Ray technology, X-ray machines, and many others assist our officers, along with their training, expertise and knowledge, in detecting contraband and prohibited or restricted goods." The biggest seizures of steroids in 2013 occurred at the CBSAs mail entry points in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver ($1.4 million); Vancouver International Airport ($198,270); and Torontos Pearson International Airport ($136,832). Highlighting how widespread steroid smuggling has become, the illegal drug was also seized at border entry points including Wild Horse, Man., Osoyoos, B.C., and Oungre, Sask.

The Chelsea manager is up on a misconduct charge form the Football Association and responded by deferring his Friday afternoon pre–match press conference for Saturdays Newcastle match to his assistant Steve Holland. Mourinho faces a possible ban and fine following comments he made about what he feels is a clear campaign against his club related to controversial incidents and decisions surrounding the awarding of penalty shots in recent matches. What appears to have sent the FA over the edge was his tagging as a scandal the booking of Fabregas in the December 28 match at St-Marys. Something Holland did face questions on were the recent reports linking Chelsea with Lionel Messi. He informed the media throng gathered at the clubs training facility they were not at all looking at shifting players out, nor bring any in during the current window. A Chelsea spokesperson informed TSN.ca, As a matter of policy we dont comment on transfer speculation and rumour in the media when asked to comment on the reports which were sparked into life Monday after Messi followed Chelsea FC and a few players on his Instagram account. Coupled with an alleged rift with his manager. The 44-year-old Holland believes a Messi deal by any football club in Europe is impossible. When you look at the numbers being mentioned around the Messi deal, I think its almost an impossible deal for any club working within the restraints of financial fair play. The astronomical numbers bandied around certainly bear out Hollands most rational take. CIES Football Observatory, a Swiss company with a highly regarded football business research group who only yesterday released their 2015 Index on the Worlds Most Valuable Players have placed a €220m [$310m] bounty on Messis head. Then on top of this figure would be the financial commitment towards his salary. Any such five-year deal would nudge it through the half billion threshold. Even the Steinbrenners would baulk at that number if a young Lionel had picked up a baseball bat. Last time of course Messi faced Chelsea was the Second Leg of the 2012 Champions League Semifinal at the Nou Camp which we all know finished in tears for the 2014 Ballon dOr nominee. Missing a second half penalty in that game runs Messis scoreless streak in the competition against the BPL league leaders to seven matches. A significant statistical anomaly when factoring in the Argentine has a phenomenal 75 goals in only 92 appearances to become the highest scoring player through the six decade-plus history of the European Cup. You can be guaranteed the thorough planner that is Mourinho would have used his freed up time Friday afternoon to run a final rule over the Newcastle Presentation he delivered to the Chelsea squad which occurred shortly after Hollands press conference wrapped up. At least Mourinho would not have had to include mention of those now infamous St-James Park ballboys who he directly laid blame on for Chelseas first defeat of the season back in early December. Nike Air Max Pas Cher Femme. His opposite number that day Alan Pardew is no longer in Mike Ashleys firing range. Those shoes these days are filled by Pardews assistant John Carver, a Geordie man from birth which the desperately underserved Toronto FC supporters know very well. Carver was in the dugout next to Pardew during the corresponding fixture last season which certainly brings back happier Newcastle memories for Mourinho. On the back of an Eden Hazard hat-trick Chelsea won 3-0, a result which pole vaulted Chelsea to the top of the league. That was early February 2014, but as we all know now during the run in the little horse continually slipped up against some rather unfancied horses. That included losing at home to Sunderland, which spelled the end of Mourinhos extraordinary unbeaten home record in the league - a run which stretched back to his first term which began in 2004 and in all totalled 78 matches. Hazard, who continues to impress and improve since joining the SW6 ranks in summer 2012, has certainly charmed his fellow Belgians into following his Chelsea career up close. A significant number of them will be traveling from Brussels for the match. Some of those were early arrivals and certainly added to the atmosphere Friday afternoon in one of the various food and drink emporiums inside the main entrance of Stamford Bridge. Speaking to the traveling support and again adding a cultural flavour to yet another sold out Stamford Bridge Saturday afternoon will be a 3,000 strong Toon Army who will have traveled down from their native northeast, a distance from London which is further than Brussels. Unlike Abramovich, who for obvious reasons is adored by the supporters of the club he owns, his opposite number Mike Ashley is disliked and mocked by most, if not all Newcastle supporters. The mere fact he chose not to move up to the northeast from his northeast London palatial-type home which has more rooms than an average sized hotel did not endear himself to the Geordies. Renowned for his drinking ways Ashley could likely be at Stamford Bridge tomorrow. I wonder if hell dare sit himself inside the Matthew Harding stand, named for the iconic Chelsea director who sadly lost his life when flying home following a Chelsea match away to Bolton in 1996. Harding used to hold court in a local pub before matches. The talk Saturday in those pubs surrounding Stamford Bridge will be dominated by the alarming run of BPL form for Chelsea. That most recently includes a rightful 5-3 drubbing at the hands of a rampant Tottenham and well see if they can address it against a club who are seeking the season double over Mourinho.
