SEC has light pot penalties

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — SEC athletes testing positive for marijuana don't face the one-year suspension that comes from getting busted by the NCAA.

The finding comes from an Associated Press examination of the policies at 11 members of the league. (Vanderbilt, a private school, did not disclose its rules.)

Total punishments by the NCAA and SEC are unknown because privacy rules prohibit disclosure of positive tests. Schools are not even required to tell the NCAA of them.

Only Georgia, Kentucky and Mississippi State suspend athletes for a first positive test (10 percent of the season).

Florida suspends athletes for 20 percent of a season for a third positive test and 50 percent for a fourth. A fifth means dismissal. Its program focuses on education, testing, treatment and deterrence, spokesman Steve McClain said.

Alabama allows its athletic director, coach and Sports Medicine Committee to determine what, if any, penalty for a first positive test. The second means a suspension for 15 percent of the season and a third a one-year suspension. At Auburn, athletes are suspended for half the season for a second positive test. At Arkansas, it takes four positive tests for a one-year suspension.

A second positive test at Mississippi means the loss of free tickets for family and/or community service. A third means a three-game suspension.

"We need to tighten it up quite a bit and come up with a good policy for everyone involved," athletic director Ross Bjork said.

Drug testing was briefly discussed at the SEC meetings last week. Presidents and athletic directors said it will be a priority at their October meetings, once they have more data. Until then, schools are left to handle situations.

"The issue is to make sure that our institutional drug testing programs are adequate," commissioner Mike Slive said. "This is something that comes up on a regular basis."

Softball: Hillary Bach allowed four hits to help Arizona State eliminate LSU from the World Series 6-0 in Oklahoma City. It must beat Oklahoma twice today to reach the championship series. … Samantha Pappas homered to help Oregon eliminate Tennessee 3-1. It faced California in another elimination game late Saturday.

NFL

Lawyer: ledger isn't proof of bounty system

NEW ORLEANS — The attorney for suspended Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma said Saturday that a ledger of under-the-table cash bonuses and fines for players shows no proof of bounties placed on targeted opponents.

Peter Ginsberg said the leaking of the ledger shows how "misguided and irresponsible" commissioner Roger Goodell has been in handling the bounty investigation of the Saints.

The ledger, according to media reports Friday, indicates payments of $1,000 for plays called "cart-offs" and $400 for "whacks," and $100 fines for mental errors.

Ginsberg said Goodell interviewed the person who kept the ledger and knows "the 'whacks' and 'cart-off,' though regrettably named, were descriptions of good, clean, legal plays, and that any dirty or penalized play resulted in fines." NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said he had no comment.

Ginsberg is representing Vilma in the player's appeal of his seasonlong suspension related to the bounty investigation and in a defamation lawsuit against Goodell. The NFL has suspended four current and former Saints in connection with the investigation.

Vilma responded to the ledger report on Twitter: "I've been asking the NFL for evidence for (two months) and got nothin but somehow a ledger gets 'leaked' … and the leak was wrong! … I love it."

Olympics

Hurdler can feel world-record time

Liu Xiang was giddy over his win and even more gleeful after seeing his time.

The 110-meter hurdler, who won the 2004 Olympic gold medal and 2007 world title, bounded around the track with an unbridled exuberance after holding off a star-studded field at the Prefontaine Classic in Eugene, Ore., finishing in 12.87 seconds. That would have tied the world record of Cuba's Dayron Robles, but it was wind-aided.

"I just treated it as a regular race," China's Liu said through a translator. His reaction proved it was anything but, especially less than two months from the London Olympics.

In the 100 meters, 2004 Olympic gold medalist and 2005 world champion Justin Gatlin of the United States edged Jamaica's Nickel Ashmeade by .03 to win in 9.90. Former Florida State sprinter Walter Dix was fourth in 10.04. Dix later withdrew from the 200 with a small cramp.

Swimming: In his last meet before the Olympic trials, Michael Phelps won the 400-meter individual medley by almost a second at the Longhorn Aquatics Elite Invite in Austin, Texas. St. Petersburg's Megan Romano won the 50 free and was second in the 200 back. Allison Schmitt won the 200 free in 1 minute, 55.04 seconds, .08 shy of her U.S. record. Tampa native Chelsea Nauta was sixth (2:00.54).

Et cetera

Boxing: St. Petersburg's Winky Wright lost to Peter Quillin by unanimous decision in a middleweight bout in Carson City, Calif. Judges scored it 97-92, 98-91, 98-91 against the 40-year-old Wright (51-6). Quillin is 27-0. The IBO cruiserweight title fight between Tampa's Antonio Tarver and Lateef Kayode was late Saturday.

Arena football: Despite a furious fourth quarter, the Storm fell to host Jacksonville 71-61. Quarterback Nick Hill replaced Stephen Wasil late in the first quarter and was 25-of-32 for 321 yards, four touchdowns and an interception. Chandler Williams of the Storm (6-6) led all receivers with 11 catches for 161 yards. Former USF standout Amarri Jackson had nine receptions for 103 yards

WASHINGTON — Even though Stephen Strasburg is on a three-game winning streak, his recent starts hadn't been especially smooth. On Saturday, he threw freely and easily, pitching seven four-hit innings to help lead the Nationals over the Braves 2-0.

Strasburg completed seven shutout innings for the first time in his big-league career. He opened the game with a flourish, striking out the first four Braves, and allowed multiple baserunners just once.

"I just expected a little bit too much out of myself and it was kind of getting me away from what I was trying to do, what I wanted to do out there. (Saturday) was huge for me to go out there and keep it simple," said Strasburg, who lasted five innings in his previous two starts.

"He was electric. He's always electric, but (Saturday) he was hitting his spots, had his curveball going, his changeup was nasty," Atlanta second baseman Dan Uggla said.

Nationals manager Davey Johnson said he heard Uggla grousing about Strasburg's stuff, but he couldn't repeat what he said.

Florida Gators beat Georgia Tech in NCAA baseball tournament; Florida State Seminoles roll Samford

Saturday, June 2, 2012

GAINESVILLE — Former Plant High standout Preston Tucker's two-run homer in the ninth sealed Florida's 6-2 region victory over Georgia Tech in the NCAA tournament Saturday night before 4,584 at McKethan Stadium.

The Gators (44-18) play tonight at 6 against the winner of today's elimination game between Georgia Tech and College of Charleston. A win puts UF in the Super Region. A loss forces a rematch for the berth at 7 p.m. Monday.

Saturday's game included controversy. Tied at 1 in the bottom of the third, the Gators believed they had the third out on Hudson Randall's strikeout of Jake Davies. But after a lengthy consultation, umpires ruled the ball was tipped and not caught by catcher Mike Zunino.

Hudson, with two runners on, eventually struck out Davies.

Zunino then led off the fourth with a homer, and Florida added two more runs in the inning.

"That was a huge emotional swing," Florida coach Kevin O'Sullivan said. "This time of year, momentum is a big thing."

More controversy came in the fifth, leading to the ejection of Georgia Tech coach Danny Hall.

Florida's Nolan Fontana, on first after a walk, slid hard into second baseman Thomas Smith on Tucker's grounder to short. Fontana, believing he was out, headed to the dugout. But the umpire had called Fontana safe.

"The umpire told me timeout was called because both the runner and Smith were banged up on the play," Hall said. "I felt (the umpire) bailed the runner out by calling time."

Randall, an Atlanta native, allowed one run and eight hits over 5⅔ innings to earn the win. Tucker's home run was his 15th of the season and 10th in NCAA play to extend his school record.

Charleston stayed alive by ousting Bethune-Cookman 8-2.

Miami eliminated

CORAL GABLES — Kennen Maddox drove in four as Missouri State eliminated Miami 12-2.

The Hurricanes (36-23) had won 13 consecutive region tournaments when serving as the host. But Friday, they lost 10-2 to Stony Brook. Saturday, the Bears scored seven in the first, including Maddox's two-run double.

Miami failed to win a tournament game for the first time since 1993, and the most recent of its four national titles came in 2001.

"Our fans, along with me, are very spoiled," coach Jim Morris told the Miami Herald. "I know they're frustrated. I know they're calling for my head. I'm not crazy. I've heard people say that. I can only say we've got to get better. We're not trying any less hard than we did when we went to the World Series 11 times out of my first 15 years or six times in a row."

Miami's elimination opens the door for UCF. The Knights beat Stony Brook 9-8 as Jeramy Matos' three-run homer in the sixth broke a 5-5 tie. UCF has two chances to reach the Super Region, the first after Missouri State and Stony Brook meet today.

FSU wins again

TALLAHASSEE — James Ram­sey's grand slam highlighted Florida State's 8-1 win over Samford. After consecutive two-out walks, Ramsey, who drove in both runs of Friday's 2-1 win over UAB, sent a shot to right to make it 8-0.

FSU (45-15) has two chances to reach the Super Region. The first comes tonight, when it faces the winner of today's game between Samford and Mississippi State. Mississippi State eliminated UAB 8-1. Wes Rea's two-run double highlighted a five-run sixth.

TCU scores 4 TDs: TCU scored 22 runs over the final four innings to beat Dayton 28-12 in College Station, Texas. The Horned Frogs trailed 9-6 after five. But they scored seven in the sixth, six in the seventh and nine in the ninth.

Durant's late burst gets Thunder even

Saturday, June 2, 2012

OKLAHOMA CITY — Kevin Durant scored 18 of his 36 in a scintillating final seven minutes, Serge Ibaka added a career-high 26 and the Thunder evened the Western Conference finals at two games apiece, beating the Spurs 109-103 Saturday night.

After seeing his team's 15-point lead dwindle to four, Durant took over midway through the fourth quarter by scoring all 16 of the Thunder's points during a span of just more than five minutes.

"I didn't tell myself that I need to go score because what we were doing was working," Durant said. "We were passing the ball and guys were making shots. … I just wanted to stick with what we were doing, but it started to open up for me, and I could see some lanes that gave me some opportunities to make some shots."

With teammate Russell Westbrook limited to seven points, Durant did almost all of the damage late to send the series back to Texas on Monday.

The three-time scoring champion hit three straight jumpers, the last one coming after he bumped into Tony Parker to draw a foul and set up a three-point play. Then he attacked the rim for his next three baskets, getting to the line again when he was fouled on a layup off James Harden's alley-oop.

Durant hit another jumper after coming off a Westbrook screen for the last basket in his personal run — and the Spurs were still within striking distance. Rookie Kawhi Leonard bracketed a pair of 3-pointers around that Durant jumper, and the Spurs were only down 102-96 with 1:24 left.

The Spurs succeeded in getting the ball out of Durant's hands on the next possession, only for him to provide the assist on Harden's 3-pointer that bumped the lead to nine.

"When a player that talented gets hot, it's really hard to contain," San Antonio's Manu Ginobili said. "When we tried to blitz or really help, he kicked it and they made big shots."

Tim Duncan had 21 points for San Antonio, which had won 20 in a row before losing Game 3.

Wade searches for effective counter

BOSTON — Everywhere Dwyane Wade turned, two Celtics seemed to be waiting.

And as long as Chris Bosh is out, he understands it's probably going to stay that way. The Celtics can double-team him without fear, knowing LeBron James is the only other Miami player who can consistently hurt them.

Wade scored only 18 Friday in the Heat's 101-91 loss in Game 3, ending his streak of 12 20-point playoff games against Boston.

Wade knows Bosh won't be back from his abdominal strain today in Game 4, so the scheme probably won't change. But he vows that his performance will.

"I'm not coming here crying," he said Saturday. "I can score the basketball, I've just got to find other ways to do that. It might not be a 41-point effort like it was in Indiana, you never know what each game takes, but I'm just going to go out here and play the game that I played for so many years, and I will find a way to be effective."

Wade shot 9-for-20 in his second-lowest scoring performance of this postseason, after a five-point effort in Game 3 against Indiana. He was struggling with knee pain then.

The only problem now, he said, was the two defenders closing on him whenever he came off a pick or caught the ball anywhere near the lane.

Wade didn't attempt a free throw for the first time in a playoff game since 2004, when he was a rookie, and he managed just six points on 3-for-9 shooting in the first half.

"Points in the paint, they pounded us. Rebounding, they pounded us. Free throws, they beat us," Heat coach Erik Spoelstra said.

Los Angeles Kings beat New Jersey Devils 2-1 in overtime, take 2-0 lead in Stanley Cup

Saturday, June 2, 2012

NEWARK, N.J. — Jeff Carter scored at 13:42 in overtime and the Kings moved within two wins of their first Stanley Cup with a 2-1 victory over the Devils in Game 2 Saturday night.

Carter carried the puck into the New Jersey zone and had his shot from the right side stopped. He skated around the net, collected the puck on the opposite side, cruised through the circle and beat Martin Brodeur on the blocker side.

"This is by far the biggest (goal) for sure, my first playoff OT goal," Carter said. "It gets us where we want to be (going home)."

Carter, acquired from the Blue Jackets around the trade deadline, scored his fifth goal of the playoffs.

"We had five guys collapsed around the net, and they found a way to get the puck through," Devils coach Peter DeBoer said.

The Kings improved their impressive postseason run to 14-2 overall, 10-0 on the road and 4-0 in overtime. Their 10 road wins tie the league mark set by the 1995 Devils and tied by the Devils in 2000 and the Flames in 2004.

They have won 12 straight on the road in the playoffs dating to last year.

"We have to go back to L.A. like the series is just starting," said defenseman Drew Doughty, who scored on a magnificent end-to-end rush in the first period for a 1-0 lead. "Going back home, it is a whole new series."

Asked what went wrong for the Devils, captain Zach Parise said, "We didn't score."

Game 2 followed the same script as Game 1. The Kings scored first, the Devils answered, and it went into overtime tied 1-1.

The differences in regulation were that the Devils had the better chances, more shots (33 in Game 2, 17 in Game 1), but they waited until the third period to tie the score. They tied Game 1 late in the second period.

DeBoer shuffled his top three lines to start the third period, but he kept the fourth line intact. That line scored the tying goal at 2:59, by Ryan Carter off a deflection in the high slot.

That goal was the first allowed by the Kings' Jonathan Quick in the third period since Game 3 of the Western Conference semifinal against the Blues.

"I think the offense is there," the Devils' Stephen Gionta said. "We're just looking for the bounces."

The Kings are the 12th team to win the first two games of the Cup final on the road. Nine of the previous 11 won the Cup.

Brodeur said the Devils can be disappointed but can't let frustration affect them.

"We are still alive," he said.

The last time the first two games of the Cup final went to overtime was 1951 between the Canadiens and Maple Leafs. The teams split the games.

around the league: Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini said he has fielded some "soft calls" from teams interested in his No. 1 overall pick at this month's draft. But he would have to get "quite a significant proposal" to trade the pick, he said. This is the third straight year the Oilers have had the top pick. Tambellini said he wouldn't decide on whom to use the pick until the night before the draft, June 22-23 in Pittsburgh. Russian Nail Yakupov, who played this season in the Ontario junior league, is the top-rated non-goalie based in North America.
