NAIROBI, Kenya -- Prosecutors in Kenya withdrew doping charges against banned marathon runner Rita Jeptoos former manager on Tuesday, saying they wanted to conduct more investigations.Federico Rosa, an Italian national, had been facing charges that he provided or administered banned substances to Jeptoo and another little-known Kenyan runner, with some of the allegations dating back as far as 2004.Rosa said he had been given back his passport by a court in Nairobi and was free to go. He had been out on bail ahead of Tuesdays court hearing.There is no witnesses. There is nothing against me. There is no case. This is one of the best days of my life, Rosa told The Associated Press in a phone interview.Rosa was freed, but prosecutors said they would investigate further and he could be re-arrested and re-charged.Prosecutors had said that Rosa was complicit in Jeptoos doping in 2014, when he was her manager. Jeptoo, once the leading womens marathon runner in the world, tested positive for EPO in an out-of-competition test that year. She was initially banned for two years, but her punishment was doubled to four years by the Court of Arbitration for Sport last month. That CAS ruling also appeared to vindicate Rosa, with the Swiss-based court noting in its findings that Jeptoo had hidden her doping from her management and coaching team at the time.Rosa ended his association with Jeptoo after she failed the doping test.Although Jeptoo was named as a complainant by prosecutors in the Kenyan criminal case, Rosa disputed that his client had ever accused him of involvement in her doping.Charges that Rosa helped administer banned substances to Elijah Kiprono Boit, a former 800-meter runner who competed at the world youth championships in 2001 and 2004, were also dropped. Rosa was accused of helping Boit dope between 2004-08.Rosa represents a number of top Kenyan athletes, including three-time world 1,500-meter champion Asbel Kiprop and Olympic marathon champion Jemima Sumgong. Kiprop attended Tuesdays court hearing in support of Rosa. Dwyane Wade Heat Jersey . -- Nate Robinson has played for seven teams, so beating one of them is no longer a rare occurrence.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. -- Virginia has faced Virginia Tech on numerous occasions recently with an opportunity to spoil some goal of the Hokies.The Cavaliers will get another chance on Saturday in the 98th meeting between the rivals.The Hokies (8-3, 5-2 Atlantic Coast Conference) have won 12 straight in the series and would clinch the ACCs Coastal Division championship and a spot in the league title game with a victory.Three times in the past four seasons, the Hokies needed to beat Virginia to become bowl eligible, and while the games have been close (the last four decided by a total of 20 points), the Hokies have won them all.If they can win again this week, the Hokies would extend their winning streak against the Cavaliers (2-9, 1-5) to 13, the longest for either program in the series and the longest streak among FBS-level, in-state rivals in the nation.Every year you always want to be the team that ended the skid, Cavaliers linebacker Micah Kiser said Monday. Twelve in a row. In my opinion, its not really a rivalry if youre not winning, if its not a back-and-forth type thing. Twelve years in a row. Thats dominance, so we definitely want to try to reverse that trend.The rivalry is entering a new age, with new players on both sides.Both programs are in their first season under new coaches, and while Justin Fuente has the Hokies a victory away from their first ACC title game berth since 2009, Bronco Mendenhall has found success more elusive at Virginia.Many of Mendenhalls players almost refuse too acknowledge the past, choosing to focus on the future and calling the matchup just the next game on the schedule while saying there is no amped-up desire to finally end the dominance.dddddddddddd The last eight signing classes at Virginia have passed through without winning against the Hokies.In trying to rebuild the program, Mendenhall would love the boost a victory would provide.I dont think I need to address anything other than how to help them play best this game, he said. They already know the history. They are living the history, as is the community and the institution and the UVA fans.In Blacksburg, Hokies quarterback and Texas native Jerod Evans will be experiencing his first battle for the Commonwealth Cup, but hes played in rivalries games before.You can never count out anybody in a rivalry game, especially with the emotion thats involved, he said Being in-state, you get the bragging rights. You hear it all the time. The players dont have to tell me about that.Besides, while the Hokies will go to a bowl for the 24th consecutive season, the longest active streak in the country, the Cavaliers will be going home after the regular season ends for the fifth straight season.Kiser said the game is kind of like our bowl game, and that can make the Cavaliers dangerous.They have nothing to lose, Evans said.---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
