RIO DE JANEIRO -- A second Kenyan track and field official was expelled from the Olympics on Thursday after he pretended to be one of the teams 800-meter runners at a doping test and gave a sample in the athletes name.The incident may have been the unintended result of the runner, Ferguson Rotich, giving the official his accreditation card so he could have a free breakfast in the athletes village.Still, the International Olympic Committee opened an investigation after John Anzrah was found with Rotichs Olympic accreditation and provided the doping sample and signed doping forms in the name of Rotich, Kenyan team leader Stephen Arap Soi said.Anzrah, a former sprinter and now a track coach, was reported to authorities by doping control officers after the test, Arap Soi said.The problem with John Anzrah is he took possession of an identity card (accreditation) of an athlete who was in the list of WADA for out-of-competition dope testing, Arap Soi said. He was ... taken to the doping control station purportedly as Ferguson Rotich and subjected to produce the sample and he signed. The crime he has committed [is] against Team Kenya, and that is why we are sending him back home.The International Olympic Committee set up a disciplinary commission to look into the incident.We take note of the decision of the Kenyan Olympic Committee to send home its athletics coach following a violation of anti-doping rules, and we thank the NOC for its swift action, the IOC said.The IAAF will seek information on the incident from the IOC and could launch its own investigation, governing body spokesman Yannis Nikolaou said in a statement emailed to The Associated Press.This is the second doping scandal to hit Kenyas track team at the Olympics and comes with Kenyan athletics in the midst of a doping crisis and under severe scrutiny in Rio. The Kenyan team has been heavily tested for doping in the buildup to the Olympics because of years of problems in the country, a powerhouse in distance running.But this may have been a foolish mix-up.Rotich claimed he gave Anzrah his accreditation so that the coach could eat breakfast for free at the athletes village on Wednesday morning, said Rotichs agent, Marc Corstjens. Kenyan officials also said that Anzrah was found in the dining area of the athletes village before the test, apparently corroborating that.Corstjens said he didnt know what happened next, and he wasnt sure why Anzrah didnt own up to the doping officers when he was asked to give a doping sample.Why didnt he tell them, Hey guys, this isnt me? Corstjens said.After Anzrah was discovered, Rotich went to the doping test and gave both blood and urine samples, the agent said.While Anzrah was sent home by the Kenyan team, the IOC didnt say if there would be any repercussions for Rotich.Rotich finished fourth in the 800 at the world championships in Beijing last year. He is listed to compete in the heats of the mens 800 on Friday alongside teammate David Rudisha, the Olympic champion and world-record holder.Anzrah is a former Kenyan 200- and 400-meter runner, and he competed at the world championships in 1987. As the news broke, Kenyan deputy president William Ruto had just arrived in Rio to attend the Olympics. Kenyas sports minister is also in Brazil with the team.In the first doping scandal involving Kenya in Rio, its track and field team manager was sent home last weekend over allegations he sought a 10,000 pound ($13,000) bribe from undercover reporters to help athletes evade doping tests back in Kenya. Michael Rotich, who is no relation to Ferguson, was filmed seeking the bribes in Kenya in January and February, The Sunday Times newspaper reported.He was arrested when he arrived back in Kenya from the Olympics. ?Anzrah is being held in custody and is facing criminal charges.

FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. -- The Atlanta Falcons have made a commitment to rookie starters on defense that is especially rare for a first-place team.Four rookies are expected to start on defense when Atlanta plays at Philadelphia on Sunday. Safety Keanu Neal, linebackers Deion Jones and DeVondre Campbell and nickel back Brian Poole were on the field for the first snap in last weeks win at Tampa Bay.Defensive coordinator Richard Smith said he has never seen so many rookie starters.Never in my career, and Ive been in the league for 29 years, Smith said Wednesday. Ive never seen that.Its no surprise that Neal, the first-round pick from Florida, is starting. The team likely would have been happy if Jones and Campbell earned a share of playing time. The biggest surprise is Poole, who was undrafted from Florida but made an immediate impact in training camp.According to figures provided by the Falcons, Neal leads all NFL rookies with 57 total tackles and Jones is second with 51. Those are the leading totals for all Falcons players.The youth movement also includes second-year linebacker Vic Beasley Jr., who leads the team with 7.5 sacks, and second-year cornerback Jalen Collins, who might start Sunday if Desmond Trufant is held out with a shoulder injury. Starting defensive tackle Grady Jarrett also was a 2015 pick.Those are the key names in a makeover on defense that was expected when coach Dan Quinn, the former Seattle defensive coordinator, was hired last year.The strong showing by this years draft class helped earn general manager Thomas Dimitroff a new three-year contract on Monday.I think having the picks we had and where we were picking, we felt very confident that we were going to put together a good group of guys, Dimitroff said Monday. ... Were real happy with how theyre producing for this years class.Tight end Austin Hooper could give the 2016 draft class a fifth starter this week. Jacob Tamme is expected to miss his second straight game with a shoulder injury. Levine Toilolo started for Tamme last week.Neal said the first-year players talked in rookie camp following the NFL draft about the possibility so many could start this season.dddddddddddd.I mean, we talked about it, Neal said. Thats always a cool experience, being on the field at the same time. Weve got the opportunity. Now weve just got to play.Injuries made it difficult to get the four on the field at the same time in the first half of the season.Neal missed the first two games following minor knee surgery in the preseason. Jones and Campbell missed time with ankle injuries. But it was clear from the start of the season Quinn thought the rookies deserved to start.There are many coaches out there that wouldnt do that, Dimitroff said. Theyd wait until the sixth, seventh game of the season. We were very forward about allowing these guys to have a lot of important, interesting reps early on, and I think it really helped their confidence.Smith said he likes the maturity level of the rookies. He said he sees no sign that the long season is affecting the new starters.Its a long season and theyre not used to playing but right now weve played 13 games and I dont see it in their eyes, Smith said. I love their work ethic and the way they work. I like their demeanor if something happens and they do make a mistake, theyre ready to go on with the next play. Overall they all have a bright future.Game notes The Falcons used their indoor practice facility due to poor air quality outside. Winds blew smoke from wildfires in north Georgia over Flowery Branch and south over Atlanta on Wednesday and Thursday. ... DE Dwight Freeney (quad) joined practice after being held out on Wednesday. RB Tevin Coleman (hamstring), CB Desmond Trufant (shoulder) and Tamme (shoulder) did not practice. Quinn said Coleman and Trufant could still play this week if able to practice on Friday.
