RIO DE JANEIRO -- The Latest on the Rio Games (all times local to Rio de Janeiro):10.00 p.m.The Court of Arbitration for Sports ad hoc division has already registered 11 appeals -- predominantly involving Russian athletes excluded from the Olympics amid allegations of state-sponsored doping -- in seven days since setting up in Rio de Janeiro, the same number it handled in the entire period of the last Summer Games in 2012.The CAS released a statement Monday saying the cases of Vladimir Morozov and Nikita Lobintsev, both Olympic medal-winning swimmers, had been adjourned and a decision on the future conduct of the hearing would be made Tuesday.CAS said the hearing of another swimmer, Yulia Efimova, was also adjourned to Tuesday, when the request by Daniil Andrienko and 16 other Russian rowers to be allowed to compete in Rio will also be heard.The CAS said a decision in the appeal of the Russian Weightlifting Federation against its suspension was likely on Wednesday.Morozov and Lobintsev are seeking to overturn their bans, claiming the suspensions are invalid and unenforceable.The swimmers were implicated in a report by World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren that detailed state-sponsored doping in Russia across more than two dozen summer and winter sports.The IOC executive board decided not to ban the entire Russian Olympic team from the Rio Games but ordered all individual sports federations to apply new criteria to decide which athletes could be allowed to compete.---9:10 p.m.IOC President Thomas Bach has issued another defense of his handling of the Russian doping scandal, saying the decision not to exclude the entire Russian team from the Rio de Janeiro Olympics was based on human rights and justice.Bach used his speech at Monday nights opening ceremony of the IOCs general assembly to address the continuing criticism of the Olympic bodys response to evidence of state-sponsored doping in Russia.He said individual athletes cant be punished for the wrongdoing of their government.Bach said justice has to be independent from politics and added that whoever responds to a violation of the law with another violation of the law is destroying justice.---6 p.m.Rafael Nadal is ready to play in the Olympics after being sidelined with a wrist injury for more than two months.The 14-time major champion hit for two hours with fellow Spaniard David Ferrer on Monday on a practice court at the Olympic Park in Rio de Janeiro.Nadal hasnt played since pulling out of the French Open on May 27 before his third-round match because of an injured left wrist.Wearing a sleeveless blue shirt and white cap, Nadal had a white bandage on his left wrist but showed no signs of injury he hit all-out with Ferrer under a hot sun. He was watched closely by his coach and uncle, Toni Nadal, and Spanish team coach Conchita Martinez.Nadal declined to talk to reporters after the session, saying he would speak on Tuesday. Ferrer said Nadal looks very good.Nadal is scheduled to carry the Spanish flag at the opening ceremony on Friday night at the Maracana stadium.He won a singles gold medal for Spain at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, but missed the 2012 London Games with a knee injury.---3:40 p.m.The split between Olympic leaders and global anti-doping officials over the Russian doping scandal continues to escalate.The World Anti-Doping Agency fired back on Monday, a day after IOC President Thomas Bach suggested the agency was to blame for the last-minute chaos over the participation of Russian athletes in the Rio de Janeiro Games.Bach said the agency should have acted sooner on evidence of state-sponsored doping rather than release the damning report by Canadian investigator Richard McLaren so close to the games, which open on Friday.While it is destabilizing in the lead-up to the games, it is obvious, given the seriousness of the revelations that he (McLaren) uncovered, that they had to be published and acted upon without delay, WADA President Craig Reedie, who is also an IOC vice president, said in a statement Monday.---1:55 p.m.Russias sports minister says a decision is expected in the next two days on which athletes will be allowed to compete in Rio de Janeiro.Vitaly Mutko spoke during a visit to Paris-based UNESCO on Monday where he presented a report on what is being done in Russia to fight doping -- after the World Anti-Doping Agency accused the Russian government of directing a vast cover-up.Mutko insists there is no state system of doping in Russia.The IOC wont allow Russians to compete in Rio if they had previously been banned for doping, were implicated in the alleged cover-up or had not been tested often enough internationally.---1:45 p.m.The head of World Sailing is promising a launching ramp that collapsed a few days ago will be ready on Friday -- three days before the sailing competition starts at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.The launching ramp, one of two being used at the Marina da Gloria venue, broke apart on Saturday. Organizers are blaming strong waves and poor design.Andy Hunt, the head of World Sailing, says if it was absolutely necessary, we could still carry on competition, but it would just be logistically very difficult.Rio organizing committee spokesman Mario Andrada says the new ramp will be slightly smaller than the one that broke. He says that ramp was maybe a bit too big.---1:25 p.m.The United States will have a second member on the International Olympic Committees executive board.Former Olympic ice hockey gold medalist Angela Ruggiero was elected as chair of the IOCs athletes commission on Monday, a position which automatically gives her a seat on the policy-making board.Ruggiero will replace Claudia Bokel, a former Olympic fencer from Germany whose four-year term is expiring at the end of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.Ruggiero will join Anita DeFrantz on the 15-member board. Her elevation comes at a crucial time for the U.S., with Los Angeles bidding for the 2024 Olympics.Los Angeles is competing against Paris, Rome and Budapest, Hungary. The IOC will select the host city in September 2017.---12:45 p.m.The chief spokesman for the Rio Olympics says, I can guarantee in the name of Rio 2016 that the athletes can compete in safety.Mario Andrada was responding Monday to the publication of the latest water study by The Associated Press, which found severe viral contamination in all outdoor aquatic venues for the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.Some of the worst pollution is in Rios Guanabara Bay, which will host the sailing competition. Andrada says: We could and should have done a little better. But it does not remain a threat to the athletes. The athletes will compete in safety.Rio dumps at least half of its untreated sewage into the water surrounding the city, soiling many of its world-famous beaches. Stitched Baseball Jerseys .

BEREA, Ohio -- Rookie Cody Kessler uncoiled an ice wrap around his upper body as Charlie Whitehurst limped by with an elastic sleeve on his left knee.Two more Browns quarterbacks are black, blue and beaten up.A day after Kessler and Whitehurst were both injured in a 33-13 loss to the New England Patriots, Clevelands quarterback situation was as messy and unclear as it has been in many weeks.And around here, thats saying something.Kessler is recovering from a painful injury to his chest and ribs when he was drilled by linebacker Donta Hightower in the first quarter.But after X-rays on Kessler did not reveal any breaks, Browns coach Hue Jackson said Monday theres a chance that the third-round draft pick, who vaulted up the depth chart after Robert Griffin III (shoulder) and Josh McCown (collarbone) were injured in the first two weeks, will practice this week and play Sunday at Tennessee.Im sure its a pain tolerance issue, every day is going to change, said Jackson, who has endured a season full of hardship in his first season with Cleveland.It is today, it is tomorrow and practice is Wednesday. We will see where he is then.Whitehurst may not be as ready. After becoming the fifth quarterback to play in five games for the Browns this season, he hyperextended his knee in the final minutes and is listed day to day.For a change, though, its not all bad news for the Browns.McCown has been cleared to practice and could be in uniform against the Titans. The 37-year-old McCown wants to play after spending the past three weeks watching his teammates come up short.Anytime you find yourself in a situation like our team is where its gone this way and youre 0-5, I think its all hands on deck, and youve got to want to help, he said. You watch tape from yesterday and you watch the effort that guys put forth and theyre battling, and you just want to be a part of it.Jackson may finally have more than one option this week.Well have three guys standing out there (at practice), he quipped. So well be able to pick somebody out of the group.At the ratee Clevelands QBs are falling, it may be hard to find a volunteer.ddddddddddddMcCown has been out since breaking his left collarbone in Week 2 against Baltimore. He showed incredible toughness by playing three quarters with the fracture, and less than a month later said its realistic hell face the Titans.Yeah, Im going to practice Wednesday, and thats the next step to this thing, he said. So well see how it plays out.But Im looking forward to that part of it. When youre kind of going through what were going through, just to be out there on the practice field and to get back moving around like that, its exciting for me. And then well see where it goes. But Im looking forward to helping any way I can and getting back out there with the guys.If Kessler and McCown are both ready, Jacksons decision gets more complicated.Does he go with Kessler, who has shown growth in three starts and could develop into the teams long-term answer at QB? Or does he return to McCown, the steady veteran and leader who has endeared himself to teammates and may give the Browns their best chance to win?Jackson must wait to see how both players practice before he decides.McCowns return to practice is a needed positive jolt for the young and winless Browns, who until Sundays blowout have been in every game.Its big, center John Greco said of the QBs return. I know Josh. Im sure he wanted to play that following week.But now that hes got some rest itll be good to have his leadership out there with us actually on the field. Hes out there as a vocal leader, but his physical presence is huge for this team and if hes out there its awesome for us.Game notes C Cam Erving will return to practice after missing four games with a bruised lung sustained in the opener. Ervings loss forced the Browns to move Greco to center. Im definitely excited to get back out there, Erving said.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
