World Anti-doping Agency president Craig Reedie claims the integrity of the Rio Olympics was not undermined despite some regrettable flaws in the athlete testing process. A 55-page report from WADAs independent observers painted a damning picture of anti-doping procedures at the Games, citing lack of co-ordination, insufficient resources and a significant shortfall on planned tests.The report said that on some days up to half of all planned tests due to be carried out in the Athletes Village had to be aborted because the athletes could not be found and the total number of completed tests was almost 500 fewer than hoped. While Reedie accepts there were serious problems on the ground, he does not believe the effort was fundamentally undermined. The IOC, who are responsible for the whole anti-doping effort at Olympic Games, made substantial efforts and they got through it, he said. There were major issues, however - logical issues - particularly on sample collections, and thats disappointing.What was the real problem was the business of sample collecting - tracing athletes to find out where they were. There were a number of major issues in Brazil. One was a lack of money. Secondly there was a lack of manpower and some of that worked its way through to the sample-collection process.That is regrettable. You simply had to make the process work as best you could. But, at the end of the day, our independent reports said that while it was disappointing, in general the integrity of the process was not undermined.The report does concede there were some outstanding efforts and a phrase I think they used was enormous resourcefulness and goodwill of some key doping personnel who actually made the system work. They got around 90 per cent of the projected numbers of sample collections. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just ￡6.99. No contract. Reedie explained that one of the key issues related to athlete chaperones, who the report claims were provided with inadequate training and information.Athletes are called for sample collection by chaperones and unfortunately quite a large number of the planned chaperones either werent trained properly or some didnt even turn up, he said.So it was a manpower problem and then the details of how you find people in the village. You would go back later in the day and see if you could find them. You would keep doing it unless you didnt have the manpower to find them. Sebastian Coe is proposing to introduce Integrity Unit for athletics Meanwhile, IAAF president Sebastian Coe admits the reports alleging serious drug-test failings at Rio made for uncomfortable reading. The only thing I would say is I welcome reports like that, sometimes they are uncomfortable reading, but I would rather have those sorts of observations, said Coe, who is proposing to introduce an independent Athletics Integrity Unit, which will be responsible for doping matters, taking powers away from national associations.The testing itself is independent, he said. I think where we have fallen foul is around results management. That all too often has had national interest involved.We cannot survive as a sport unless clean athletes absolutely feel that they have the full force of a federation behind their legitimate attempts to be the best they can possibly be. Thats non-negotiable.

DALLAS -- The Indianapolis Colts played mostly without Andrew Luck when they missed the playoffs in 2015 after winning their division a year earlier.The star quarterback returns, and so do postseason expectations for a team that has made the playoffs 14 of the past 17 seasons.And maybe this is the year for the Oakland Raiders, who havent had a winning season or made the playoffs since losing the Super Bowl after the 2002 season.Luck missed nine games with an assortment of injuries and struggled with turnovers when he was playing. Protecting the fifth-year star is also a priority, with heavy investment in the offensive line and Lucks offseason effort to refine his sliding technique to avoid big hits.The Raiders have bigger hopes after a six-win improvement under coach Jack Del Rio to 7-9, with a promising young quarterback in Derek Carr and a potential superstar receiver in Amari Cooper. The defense has a proven pass rusher in All-Pro Khalil Mack, who had 15 sacks.Besides the Colts, Dallas, Detroit and Baltimore were the other 2014 playoff qualifiers to miss a year later. The Cowboys are without Tony Romo again after he broke a bone in his back in a preseason game, the Lions are trying to move on after receiver Calvin Johnsons retirement, and the Ravens are stuck in a tough division.With all that in mind, heres a glance at four potential playoff qualifiers that didnt make it a year ago, and four prospects for missing out a year after getting in:COULD GET BACK INColts: Coach Chuck Pagano overhauled his staff after going 8-8 following 11-5 records in his first three seasons. First-round pick Ryan Kelly is a walk-in starter at center, and former Miami coach Joe Philbin is in charge of the blockers. Frank Gore believes he can end Indys eight-year stretch without a 1,000-yard rusher. Linebacker Robert Mathis should be motivated to help improve a struggling run defense in the final year of the 35-year-olds contract.Giants: New York spent big to re-sign Jason Pierre-Paul and lure fellow pass rusher Olivier Vernon and other free agents after missing the playoffs four straight years since winning the 2011 championship. Ben McAdoo replaced longtime coach Tom Coughlin. Eli Manning and top receiver Odell Beckham Jr. always give the Giants a chance to have an elite offense in the potentially weak NFC East.Raiders: Carr took a step forward in his second season, throwing for 32 touchdowns and 3,987 yards. Cooper has a proven partner in Michael Crabtree. Latavius Murray was a 1,000-yard back. Oakland lost a lot of leadership with the retirements of safety Charles Woodson and defensive end Justin Tuck. Butt the Raiders hope to fill the void with four free agents: guard Kelechi Osemele, cornerback Sean Smith, linebacker Bruce Irvin, and safety Reggie Nelson.ddddddddddddJets: Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick missed the offseason in a contract dispute but has been around long enough that it shouldnt matter much. Versatile running back Matt Forte is joining an offense with receivers Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker, who combined for more than 2,500 yards and 26 touchdowns. The question is whether they can survive a schedule that includes six road games in the first nine weeks, and five of those opponents made the playoffs last year.MIGHT NOT BE BACKRedskins: Kirk Cousins had never won more than one game or started more than six before leading Washington to nine wins and the playoffs last season. He will have to match his NFL-best 70 percent completion rate if the Redskins cant improve on a 28th-ranked defense. Cornerback Josh Norman and safety David Bruton Jr. were brought in as free agents to try to boost that unit.Texans: Houston made the playoffs in the weak AFC South, then proved it didnt belong with a 30-0 loss to Kansas City. The Texans are banking on Brock Osweiler proving he can be the playoff winner after he didnt get a chance to show that behind Peyton Manning in Denver. Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt is coming off back surgery that kept him out for the start of training camp.Broncos: No Manning after he retired. No Osweiler after he spurned the Super Bowl champs to sign with Houston. And now free agent pickup Mark Sanchez was beaten out by 2015 seventh-round pick Trevor Siemian of Northwestern. Rookie first-rounder Paxton Lynch will have to wait for his chance. The uncertainty at quarterback makes Denver vulnerable, but one of the best defenses in the league is spearheaded by superstar linebacker Von Miller.Steelers: Is it crazy to bet against Ben Roethlisberger, especially after he threw for 148 yards and two touchdowns in what are likely his only two series of the preseason? Perhaps. So how about this? The Steelers have never made the playoffs three straight seasons under the 13th-year quarterback, and they are coming off their fourth set of back-to-back appearances with him. Plus, running back LeVeon Bell will be suspended the first three games and hasnt been able to stay healthy the past two years.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow AP Sports Writer Schuyler Dixon on Twitter: http://twitter.com/apschuyler ' ' '
