The Rugby Football Union has signed a new ￡200 million deal with Premiership Rugby with the new Heads of Agreement deal governing the relationship between the union and the clubs for the next eight years.The deal, which is nearly double the money from the previous agreement in 2007, sees Eddie Jones allowed to expand his Elite Player Squad to 45 players -- from 33 -- the introduction of a 20-man secondary EPS squad and more compulsory rest periods brought in for Englands players. Clubs will then receive funding from the RFU when their players are called up.?Premiership clubs are guaranteed ￡112m across the first four years in the new deal and the second four-year payment could be higher depending on the rugby revenue share partnership approach, a model based on various thresholds relating to the EPS and England Qualified Player scheme being met.The new agreement will help Eddie Jones achieve his goal of turning England into the worlds dominant side with him now allowed to pick 36 players instead of 33 during international periods while they have two additional training camps in October and January.With player welfare a primary concern, Englands players will have mandatory one-weekend rest periods if they pass a certain threshold of minutes in the November series and the Six Nations while they will have a minimum 10-week break in the off-season.Further details see play-offs retained in the Greene King IPA Championship and Premiership Rugby taking control of the commercial rights of the Anglo-Welsh Cup.?Ian Ritchie, RFU CEO, said: This is a true partnership focused on making English rugby the best in the world for club and country. A strong partnership between the RFU and the PRL is critical if we are to grow professional rugby across the country for the benefit of the players, fans and the game.Player welfare, as ever, is a priority for us all, and so further rest periods have been built into the season. The RFU is focused on investing in Premiership clubs, to ensure they are sustainable, thriving businesses, which will develop players for the national game.We look forward to working with Premiership Rugby over the next eight years to promote and support rugby in England.Mark McCafferty Premiership Rugby CEO added: Success for England and the clubs depends on an effective partnership between the RFU and Premiership Rugby on many levels.Weve seen that emerge from the last few years of the previous agreement and this new one is capable of setting the platform for a period of sustained success for both club and country, as we look to build on the strong finish to last season.The next year will also be very important in working together to secure the necessary improvements to the global season structure.The significantly increased monies to the Premiership clubs, alongside their own increased TV and commercial revenues, will ensure that Aviva Premiership Rugby continues to go from strength-to- strength based on world-class England Qualified Players (EQPs) and a very strong academy pipeline of talent. In addition, this is intended to underpin further European success. Carlos Asuaje Jersey .

NAIROBI, Kenya -- The former agent and coach of banned marathon champion Rita Jeptoo appeared in separate Kenyan courts on Monday and were both released on bail as police continue to investigate them for involvement in doping.Agent Federico Rosa was charged last week with six counts related to administering banned substances to two athletes: Jeptoo and a little-known runner named Elijah Kiprono Boit. The Italian national denied the charges and was released on Monday on $5,000 bail.Jeptoo was the top female marathon runner in the world and a three-time Boston Marathon and two-time Chicago Marathon champion when it was announced she failed an out-of-competition test for the blood-booster EPO in late 2014. Court documents in Rosas case allege he conspired with others to administer a prohibited substance to Jeptoo on several occasions in August and September 2014.Jeptoo was banned for two years and is the highest profile of at least 40 Kenyan athletes to fail doping tests and be banned since the last Olympics in 2012. Her case has gone to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, with the IAAF seeking a sterner punishment than the two-year ban handed down to her by Kenyan authorities.Rosa, who still represents other top Kenyan athletes, had his passport withheld when he was released on bail. The judge said he would release Rosas travel documents if the agent could prove his claim that he represented 10 Kenyan athletes who were due to compete at the Riuo de Janeiro Olympics. Rosa said he needed to travel to Europe and then the Olympics to conduct business.Rosa is the agent forr, among others, three-time 1,500-meter world champion Asbel Kiprop, marathon runners Jemimah Sumgong and Stanley Biwott, and former 800-meter world champion Eunice Sum.dddddddddddd None of those athletes have been implicated in the case, and some have spoken out in defense of Rosa, saying he is being targeted as a scapegoat for Kenyas long-running doping problems.In a twist, marathoner Mathew Kisorio, an athlete Rosa previously represented who was banned for doping, said last week in an affidavit presented to the court that he was pressurized by some people to falsely incriminate Rosa in doping.Jeptoos former coach, Claudio Berardelli, who is also Italian, has not been formally charged but is being investigated alongside five Kenyan men for conspiracy to help athletes take banned substances. Berardelli previously coached Jeptoo, Kisorio, and 800-meter runner Agatha Jeruto, who were all banned for doping. Berardelli also previously worked for Rosas athlete management company but the relationship ended after those three runners he trained failed tests.On Monday, Berardelli was also released on $5,000 bail as a judge at a separate court gave police and prosecutors more time to investigate.Three of the five Kenyan men facing doping charges alongside Berardelli were accused in a recent undercover operation by British newspaper The Sunday Times and German broadcaster ARD of providing and administering EPO to foreign athletes training in Kenya.
