Adelaide United coach Guillermo Amor must wait to learn whether hell spend more time on the sidelines for his outburst during the Reds round-seven 3-1 A-League loss to Perth.Football Federation Australias independent disciplinary and ethics committee sat in Sydney on Monday night but reserved its decision on whether to further punish Amor, who last weekend served his mandatory one-match ban for unsporting conduct towards a match official after being banished to nib Stadiums stands.Whether or not the committee throws the book at the Barcelona legend hinges on the force with which it believes Amor touched fourth official Adam Fielding as he protested a controversial decision that resulted in the Glorys second goal.The incident followed referee Jarred Gilletts decision to award Andy Keoghs 68th-minute goal straight after Glory captain Rostyn Griffiths was perceived to have fouled Reds goalkeeper Eugene Galekovic.With no video evidence available, testimonies from each of the protagonists are key.Fielding submitted a report stating the feeling of the contact was not a tap, it was also not enough to push me over. It was sufficient to make me take a step forward.The usually mild-mannered Amor strongly denied pushing Fielding, arguing he merely touched him to gain his attention so he could alert Gillett to the apparent error.FFAs disciplinary council suggested Amor may have touched Fielding with more force than he intended while in a heightened emotional state.Amor, represented by Reds general manager of football Ante Kovacevic, told the committee he did not understand why hed been sent off and was confused as Fielding followed him to the bench to see through Gilletts expulsion.If I had understood at that point, or even after the game, that I had committed bad behaviour I would have gone straight to the referees changing rooms to say sorry or ask for an explanation, Amor said through a translator.Video footage directly after the incident showed the frustrated coach picking up his jacket and water bottle before wagging his finger at Fielding and saying words to the effect of you are not professional.Assistant coach Jacobo Ramallo said pushing a match official would be completely out of character for last seasons A-League coach of the year.Its difficult for me to imagine him doing this, even to think about it, Ramallo said.Being polite is easy when youre winning but he was losing every game (at the start of) last year and he was a gentleman.Amor said he will accept whatever decision is handed down in the next couple of days.Adelaide host Wellington on Sunday.

Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short. American Alexander Massialas has been honored as much for his fencing accomplishments as for how young he was when he accomplished them.Hes hoping to prove at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics that hes the best in the world regardless of age.Massialas, a 22-year-old Stanford student perhaps best known for being the youngest U.S. male athlete at the London Games in 2012, will head to Brazil with a real shot at history.The son of American fencing legend Greg Massialas, Alex is the top-ranked foil fencer in the world -- and perhaps the best chance the U.S. has at earning its first mens Olympic gold medal in that discipline.Obviously Id like to be the person to break the drought. But as far my concern with the Olympics go, Im not really thinking about that so much as trying to get a gold medal, Massialas said. For me, its about getting on the strip and beating whoever is in front of me.Alexander has always had a distinct advantage over his peers because of his father Greg, a three-time Olympian in the 1980s, referee and coach who is among the most influential fencing figures in American history.But Greg never pushed Alex or his 19-year-old sister Sabrina, a U.S. fencer who didnt qualify for Rio, into the sport.Greg knew that if his kids didnt fall in love with fencing on their own, they probably wouldnt be very good at it.Greg was pulled back into fencing at the request of peers looking for coaching help ahead of the Barcelona Olympics in 1992.Greg transitioned to officiating, most notably in Atlanta in 1996, and his wife, Chwan-Hui Chen, encouraged him to start his own team two years later.Alex came along in 1994. He naturally gravitated toward fencing at an early age, only to be initially rebuffed by his father.Its not something I pushed on them, said Greg, who is the current U.S. national team coach. Its something they wanted to do. ... and I think thats important because unless its truly something you want to do on your own, you wont be that successful. That makes a big differeence.ddddddddddddut Alexander insisted. Greg relented, and his son showed immediate promise.Alexanders breakthrough came when he was just 14.He went to an international challenge in Paris -- where most of the field had at least a decades worth of experience on him -- and became the youngest fencer to ever make the top 16 in that event.From there, I was like `Wow. I can actually do something. I can actually make an Olympic team, Alexander said.Alexander reached that goal in 2012 after becoming the most decorated cadet, or under-17 fencer, in the history of the world championships.Alexander finished a respectable 13th in London, just a few months after graduating high school, before enrolling at Stanford.He ascended to the top spot internationally earlier this season and will enter Rio with back-to-back first-place finishes in events in Shanghai and Panama City.Alexander is just one of three U.S. men, including Gerek Mienhardt (fourth) and Race Imboden (seventh), ranked in the top 10 in foil.The American team, which Alexander helped lead to a world title in 2013, is currently second in the world.Its the little things, he said. Working on the finer things like getting the technique down and just honing on -- maybe not adding crazy stuff -- but slowly and slowly developing my game over a long period of time.Alexander took the past year at Stanford off to focus on training for the Olympics. He also moved back home to his parents house in San Francisco, where Gregs insistence that fencing not interfere with family life continues to this day.Despite the fact that Alexander credits his fathers keen coaching eye for much of his success, the two rarely talk shop at the dinner table.That remains the one place where Alexander can still relish in his youth.I try to stay as much of a kid as possible, Alexander said. At home, its more like a father-son bond. ' ' '
