y solicitor to appeal the findings of the internal investig

(STATS) -- Northern Arizona hung with Arizona State for over a half in its opener, but the FBS opponent proved to be too strong, wearing down the smaller school to hand their in-state foe a tough loss.The No. 19 Lumberjacks return to the FCS ranks but their road doesnt get any easier with a trip to Western Illinois of the Missouri Valley Football Conference on Saturday. While an 0-2 start is certainly a possibility for a Northern Arizona team picked to win the Big Sky, a couple of early losses wouldnt dash its postseason aspirations. The 18th-ranked Leathernecks can vouch for that.A year ago, WIU suffered September losses at Illinois and Coastal Carolina but ended up becoming the first team in FCS history to earn an at-large playoff bid after a 6-5 regular-season record.No team should be penalized for playing good people, Leathernecks coach Charlie Fisher said.The Lumberjacks missed the playoffs last season despite going 7-4. The offense took off behind Case Cookus, who threw for 3,111 yards with an FCS freshman-record 37 TDs, and the 2015 STATS FCS Freshman of the Year winner picked up right where he left off in the 2016 opener.Cookus completed 23 of 33 passes for 369 yards with an 87-yard touchdown to Elijah Marks -- the only time NAU reached the end zone -- in last Saturdays 44-13 loss to the Sun Devils. The Lumberjacks trailed 10-6 midway through the third quarter before ASU pulled away.Cookus was able to march the Lumberjacks down the field as they piled up 425 yards but 11 penalties -- their most since 2013 -- and a 5-of-16 conversion rate on third downs led to their undoing. They also turned the ball over on downs once in the red zone.I think we are happy with the amount of yards and how we moved the ball, but were not happy with some of the stupid mistakes we made in the red zone not coming away with points, Cookus said. We have a lot to work on but there are a lot of positives there. Well take the positives and the negatives and work on it.One area that needs to get cleaned up -- and quickly -- is their run defense.After being gashed for 276 rushing yards by ASU, NAU has the tough task of trying to stop Steve McShane.A dual-sport athlete who is an outfielder on the WIU baseball team, McShane rushed for 207 yards on 28 carries with two touchdowns in last Saturdays 38-21 win over Eastern Illinois of the Ohio Valley. He became the first WIU player to rush for 200 yards in a game since 2008 and was a threat out of the backfield in the passing game, hauling in a team-high four receptions for 56 yards.We were able to stay patient and run the ball. That is something Ive emphasized since I got here, which is to have a running game on a regular basis, said Fisher, who won his debut. We need to run and we need to be able to make the runs and we did.Establishing a ground game is paramount if the Leathernecks once again struggle to move the ball through the air.Sean McGuire, who started WIUs final four games last season as a freshman, completed just 13 of 28 passes for 109 with a two-yard TD pass to tight end Tony Harper. Only seven of his completions went to receivers and preseason All-MVFC selection Lance Lenoirs 15-yard reception was the lone one longer than nine yards.It was a somewhat troubling showing for McGuire after he was at 284.5 yards per game and 7.5 per attempt in his starts last season. Not to mention his top two targets from a year ago are back in Lenoir and Joey Borsellino, who totaled 145 catches for 2,033 yards. The two combined for three receptions for 24 yards last week.While getting McGuire and his receivers on the same page is important, shoring up the pass defense is critical to have any hope in slowing down Cookus.WIU allowed 366 passing yards to the Panthers and was vulnerable to big plays, permitting catches of 28, 34, 40, 53 and 79 yards.Cookus averaged 11.2 yards per attempt in the opener, connecting with Marks eight times for 174 yards and completing seven passes to Emmanuel Butler for 118. Butler set a NAU record with 1,208 receiving yards last season and was a STATS FCS All-America second team selection.Very explosive on offense with Case Cookus as their quarterback, arguably the best one in the country, Fisher said.This is one of three matchups between ranked teams from the Big Sky and MVFC this weekend, with top-ranked North Dakota State hosting No. 8 Eastern Washington and 14th-ranked Montana visiting No. 3 Northern Iowa.NAU, which is 7-10 all-time against MVFC teams, won the only other meeting with WIU, 34-0 in 1967.We knew going into the season this would be an important game and a representation of not just our conference but our program and how we stack up, Lumberjacks coach Jerome Souers said. I think we are similarly ranked to Western Illinois and if thats accurate or not will be determined. Its going to be a tough matchup and were excited. Adidas Yeezy Italia .

It says Pocklingtons lawyer filed the appeal Friday in a California court.

Jess Varnish has said she is shocked and upset after learning only one of her nine complaints against former British Cycling technical director Shane Sutton was upheld by the national governing body.British Cycling said in October that former Olympian Varnishs complaint of inappropriate and discriminatory language against Shane Sutton had been upheld.However BBC Sport reported on Wednesday evening that 59-year-old Sutton had been cleared of eight of the counts against him.A leaked document showed the British Cycling board upheld the complaint that it was probable Sutton used the term b----es, but it showed that further claims were not accepted.The board returned not upheld verdicts in use of the term Sheilas, allegations of swearing, the claim that Sutton had told Varnish to get on with having a baby, and the Australian branding women as difficult.Sutton resigned on April 27, 100 days prior to the Rio Olympics, over the allegations of sexism levelled by Varnish and further claims that he called members of the Paralympic team gimps and wobblies.He rejected the specific allegations, but quit to avoid any distraction leading up to the Rio Games, and said last month he would appeal against the British Cycling verdict.Varnish now also wants answers after all but one of her accusationss was not accepted.dddddddddddd am shocked and upset by this latest news and have instructed my solicitor to appeal the findings of the internal investigation on my behalf, she said.Having provided substantial evidence to back up my complaints, to now learn that the majority were not upheld, is heartbreaking. I know what was said, and I know Ive told the truth.I have requested from British Cycling the full investigation report to understand why the weight of evidence provided by me and others wasnt sufficient for the board to uphold my complaints.The document also shows it was also not upheld that Sutton made comments about body weight, and that claims of equipment being not equally distributed among male and female riders were rejected.Varnish and Katy Marchant failed to qualify for the Rio Olympics in the two-woman, two-lap team sprint at the Track World Championships in London in March and Varnish was subsequently dropped from the world class performance programme.Marchant went on to Rio and won a bronze medal in the individual sprint. Varnish, 26, now works as a personal trainer, having opted not to appeal against her exclusion from the programme. ' ' '
