Canadian curler Matt Dumontelle has been suspended for two years from competition after an anti-doping rule violation during the World Mens Curling Championship in Victoria. Dumontelle, the alternate player for the team skipped by Brad Jacobs, tested positive for the banned substance Methandienone Metabolites in a test following the gold-medal game. The result does not affect Canadas silver-medal finish at the World Championship, nor does it have any ramifications for the Jacobs team. "We are disappointed to hear this news," said Canadian Curling Association (CCA) Chief Executive Officer Greg Stremlaw. "We take the issue of doping in sports extremely seriously, and we stress repeatedly and emphatically to our athletes how important it is to respect the rules set down by the World Anti-Doping Agency. We respect the findings of the tests, and will pursue no further action on behalf of the athlete in question. In the end, regardless of the circumstance, our athletes are solely responsible for everything that enters their body. Having said that, we are firm in the belief that our athletes respect the rules and will continue to display a high standard of following them. As well, the CCA will continue to provide educational resources to our athletes on the subject of doping. Players who compete in national and international events are told in advance, and in clear language, of the anti-doping rules and the importance of following them." Dumontelle informed the CCA, World Curling Federation and the World Anti-Doping Agency that he has acknowledged the violation and has waived his right to appeal the finding. His two-year sanction ends on May 6, 2015 (two years from the date of the provisional suspension being assessed), and makes him ineligible to participate in any sport that is part of the Canadian Anti-Doping Program during the time of the suspension. "I take full responsibility for the findings of the positive test at the World Championship in Victoria. I am truly sorry for letting down my teammates, the Canadian Curling Association and curling fans across Canada," said Dumontelle. "I was taking a workout supplement that I believed was safe; clearly, it was not and I regret that decision. I had no intentions of trying to beat the system. I was made aware by our Canadian Curling Association High Performance staff of my responsibilities to respect and follow the rules as set down by the World Anti-Doping Agency. At the end of the day I accept that it was, and is, my responsibility to make sure that I am playing by those rules." "We have been informed of the positive finding for alternate player Matt Dumontelle, and while we remain friends with Matt, we in no way condone his actions," said E.J. Harnden, the second for Team Jacobs. "We respect the rules of the the World Anti-Doping Agency, and we also respect the process and the resulting penalty. Our team has undergone various in-competition tests this season with no adverse findings. As well, we are fully aware that as high-performance athletes, we are subject to random testing at any time. This is as it should be, because in no way, shape or form do we think that doping has a place in sports. We believe that this is an extremely isolated incident, and in no way should it be a reflection on our team or our sport." Dumontelle was added to Team Jacobs following its victory at the 2013 Northern Ontario championship. He did not participate in any games at the World Championship.

Steve Carlton Jersey . Bryant, who signed a five-year, $34 million contract as a free agent with Cleveland in March, reported symptoms on Monday morning, a team spokesman said.Guillem Balague believes Gonzalo Higuain is seriously considering joining Chelsea this summer, with Diego Costa possibly set to leave Stamford Bridge. Higuain has enjoyed an impressive season with Napoli, netting 33 goals in 34 games to lead the Serie A scoring charts by some distance.Costa, meanwhile, has struggled to rediscover the form he showed in his first season with Chelsea. He has only scored 12 times in the Premier League and there have been reports that is unhappy and wants to rejoin Atletico, who he left in 2014.Speaking on his weekly Q&A session with Sky Sports, Spanish football expert Balague said: Gonzalo Higuain is a target for Chelsea. I think he would cost around €48m (about £37.8m).Higuain is seriously considering it and if he does move to Stamford Bridge then there would be the possibility that Costa would have to be sold. Diego Costa has not hit the same heights this season as he did in his debut season Its very difficult for Atletico Madrid, and Diego Simeone in particular. Simeone has told Atletico Madrid he only wants three players. Diego, Costa and Diego Costa.Hes determined to get him but its not easy to get him as he will have to reduce his wages big time and Im not sure Atletico will be able to put a huge offer on the table for him.Its one to keep an eye in the future because they certainly want him.Chelseas Eden Hazard, whose form has improved in recent weeks, has also been linked with a move to La Liga. Watch Eden Hazards fine solo goal against Liverpool Asked about the chances of Hazard heading to Spain, Balague said: It all depends on the transfer movements.dddddddddddd Paris St-Germain are pushing for Cristiano Ronaldo to move to France.Real Madrid think that if Ronaldo doesnt go to PSG they will have to renew Ronaldos contract.
