FIFA has promised it will take appropriate measures against Russian sports minister Vitaly Mutko if it is satisfied he was personally involved in the countrys doping scandal. Chris Ivory Jersey . Mutko, the president of the Russian Football Union and chairman of the organising committee of the 2018 World Cup in Russia, has been a member of FIFAs Council (formerly known as the executive committee) since 2009.But the 57-year-olds position in world sport is under threat after he was implicated in Richard McLarens devastating report into state-directed doping in Russia.Set up by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) in response to media reports of widespread cheating at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, the report said more than 30 different sports, including football, had benefited from various schemes to cheat anti-doping rules directed from Mutkos ministry.The Canadian law professors report said it was inconceivable that Mutko did not know what was going on and accused him of personally intervening to cover up a positive test belonging to a foreign player in the Russian Premier League. A look at the astonishing figures behind the doping problem in Russian sport WADA issued a statement later on Monday with seven recommendations, including one for FIFA that its ethics committee look into allegations concerning football and the role played by a member of its executive committee, Vitaly Mutko.Spokespeople from FIFA and FIFAs independent ethics committee said the two bodies would be asking WADA for the details of the Mutko allegations before deciding what to do, with the ethics committee taking the lead on any disciplinary action.If the report reveals violations of the FIFA code of ethics, the investigatory chamber will take appropriate measures and inform accordingly, the ethics committee spokesman said.Mutko, who has been Russias sports minister since 2008 and has played a huge role in the countrys hosting of numerous major sports events in recent years, has received a vote of confidence from his boss, Vladimir Putin. Mutko is also president of the Russian Football Union The Russian president acted quickly to suspend all other leading officials mentioned in McLarens report, including Mutkos deputy Yuri Nagornykh, but the minister himself has survived.According to official news agency TASS, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: Mutko was not mentioned in WADAs report as a person behind the wrongdoings... He is not mentioned as an actual perpetrator.And following publication of the report, Mutko reiterated his belief that no state-backed doping had taken place.Quoted by the Interfax news agency, Mutko said: I can say once again, there are no state doping schemes in Russia.

After the loss, White refused to make good on the bet, instead offering Hoyt tickets to a Bears game. Micah Hyde Jersey . -- Patrick Kueng of Switzerland was nearly flawless as he captured his first World Cup and halted Aksel Lund Svindals streak of four straight super-G victories on Saturday. http://www.cheapbillsjerseyssale.com/ .com) - The University of Montana named Bob Stitt as its new head football coach on Tuesday.ST. PAUL, Minn. -- On a night when each goalie was at the top of his game, it took a video review to decide the winner. Ryan Johansen scored in the fourth round of the shootout to lift the Columbus Blue Jackets to a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild on Saturday night. Johansens shot initially was ruled a rebound, but a video review showed that Wild goalie Darcy Kuemper did not touch the puck, making it a legal shootout goal. "Good job, Toronto," Johansen said, referring to the video review team in the NHL offices. "I knew I scored. I just didnt know what they were talking about at first." The shootout capped a night of brilliant goaltending from the Blue Jackets Sergei Bobrovsky and Minnesotas Kuemper. Bobrovsky, last years Vezina Trophy winner, stopped 32 of 33 shots through overtime, while Kuemper finished with 28 saves. In three games at the Xcel Energy Center, Bobrovsky is 3-0 and has allowed just four goals on 90 shots. "I dont know what it is," Columbus coach Todd Richards said. "I dont know if its being in Minnesota, or if theres something in this building, (but it) certainly looks like hes comfortable playing in this building, and hes the main reason why we got two points tonight." In the shootout, Zach Parise and Mikko Koivu put Minnesota ahead 2-0, but Artem Anisimov and Mark Letestu rallied the Blue Jackets with goals and Bobrovsky shut down the Wild the rest of the way to set up Johansens clincher. The Wild wrapped up a four-game homestand with a 1-0-3 record. Losing three shootouts in a week could have left a sour taste in their mouths, but coach Mike Yeo chose to focus on the positives after the game. "You lose in a shootout and it paints an ugly picture. Im actually happy with the way our guys battled in this game," said Yeo, whose team increased its lead over Dallas to five points in the race for seventh place in the Western Conference. "I thought we generated some great quality chances tonight. I thought we defended hard." On a night that featured just two regulation goals and one penalty, it took almost 40 minutes ffor somebody to score. Jim Kelly Jersey. Columbus finally broke through on a goal by Dalton Prout with 21.6 seconds to play in the second period. Prout took a pass from Jack Johnson at the top of the slot and fired a slap shot that deflected off Wild defenceman Jonas Brodins knee and past Kuemper. The Wild tied it 3:12 into the third period on Jason Pominvilles team-leading 25th goal. Parise chased down a loose puck behind Columbus net and slipped a pass out front to Pominville, who beat Bobrovsky on his glove side to make it 1-1. Bobrovsky kept it tied with a pair of sterling saves on Charlie Coyle and Kyle Brodziak midway through the third. Coyle jumped on a funny hop off the end boards for a clear shot that Bobrovsky turned away, and later in the same shift Brodziak deflected a blast from the point that the Columbus goalie smothered. Meanwhile, the Wilds rookie goalie kept them in the game. Kuemper denied Derek MacKenzie from point-blank range and steered away or swallowed up anything the Blue Jackets sent his way. "When youre seeing the goalie down there making saves, you dont want that to be the difference," Kuemper said. "You want to do your job as well. So you just try to go with him, stop for stop." Bobrovskys biggest save of the night might have been one that didnt even count. With just under 2 minutes left in regulation, Parise centred the puck from the left boards. Blue Jackets forward Nathan Horton broke up the pass but almost inadvertently tipped it past Bobrovsky, who had to scramble to get his right skate on the puck and keep it out of the net.
