The NFL has rejected sworn affidavits from Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison, Green Bay Packers linebackers Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers?and free-agent linebacker Mike Neal and has demanded to interview them at training camp, a source told ESPNs Adam Schefter.The players wrote the affidavits in response to an Al-Jazeera America report that mentioned them in performance-enhancing drugs allegations.The league rejected the NFL Players Associations view that affidavits constitute reasonable cooperation by the players and confirmed that they are required to participate in in-person interviews, the source said.The PED policy reflects the NFL and NFLPAs shared commitment to protect the fairness and integrity of the competition on the field, and we owe it to the players, clubs and fans to fully address any claims of this nature, a league source told Schefter.The NFL advised the NFLPA that to move forward to resolve the allegations, the league would first interview Neal and then follow with the other player interviews.The Packers open camp Tuesday, and the Steelers open camp July 29.In his affidavit, Harrison said he has never violated the leagues policy on performance-enhancing drugs and also has never met the man who alleged to Al-Jazeera America that he supplied him with an illegal substance.The affidavit, dated July 11, 2016, was included with a letter from Heather M. McPhee, the NFLPAs associate general counsel, to Adolpho Birch, the NFLs senior vice president of labor policy.The union included the affidavit, along with a transcript of the only references to Harrison in the Al-Jazeera report, to support its position that there is no need for Harrison to agree to an in-person interview with the NFL as the league lacks evidence to support such an interview.Charlie Sly -- the source for the Al-Jazeera report that implicated the four aforementioned players, as well as retired quarterback Peyton Manning and athletes from other sports -- has since recanted his remarks. The NFLPA has argued that because of that, the players should not have to discuss the matter with the NFL. Birch has previously disputed the relevance of that argument.The Al-Jazeera America documentary The Dark Side aired last December. In the transcript, which was provided by the NFLPA with the letter, Sly tells an undercover reporter that he supplied Harrison with a substance named D2 or Delta-2.Harrison, however, says in the affidavit that to the best of my knowledge and recollection, I have never met the individual who is apparently named Charles Sly, whose remarks appeared in the report.nike vapormax skroutz . Darren Helm scored on Detroits sixth attempt in the shootout and then Jonas Gustavsson stopped Andrew Shaws shot, lifting the Detroit Red Wings to a 5-4 win over the Chicago Blackhawks on Wednesday night. nike vapormax ανδρικα . Now, correct me if Im wrong but I saw one official distinctly pointing at the net indicating a good goal but after an inconclusive review they overturned the goal. Shouldnt the ruling on the ice (good goal) stand after an inconclusive review? Why was this overturned? James Veaudry Pembroke, ON -- Hey Kerry, Youll get a lot of these, but why was the Montreal goal against Nashville Saturday night overturned? Eller puts the puck on net and the on ice ruling from the ref behind the net is a Montreal goal. http://www.vapormaxgreece.com/ . The news was first reported on Gonzalezs Twitter account and confirmed by the Rockies. Gonzalez has a six-week window before position players have their first workout at spring training in Arizona. Nike Vapormax Flyknit 3 Φθηνα . The formidable trio of Canadian receivers -- individually known as Chris Getzlaf, Rob Bagg and Andy Fantuz -- will share the field at Mosaic Stadium one more time on Sunday. nike vapormax plus greece . -- Yogi Ferrell orchestrates pretty much everything in Indianas offence.SEATTLE -- Chris Petersen was awaiting a test for No. 4 Washington different from what it faced earlier in the season with the hype surrounding a home win against Stanford or the history behind its road victory at Oregon.Playing on the road at No. 16 Utah was really the first true measure of where the Huskies stand. And the manner in which Washington came away with its 31-24 win over the Utes to remain undefeated was probably why Petersen was in such a good mood Monday.When those momentum swings come you feel it. It makes a difference. But I think for the most part our guys did a good job handling it, Petersen said. They would much rather play in that than the other type of environment where there is not much going on.Washington faced the types of challenges it hasnt seen much in the previous seven games. The Huskies trailed in the second half for the first time all season. Quarterback Jake Browning committed a costly turnover that allowed Utah to get back in the game. The Huskies defense allowed points off a turnover for the first time all season. Utah running back Joe Williams rushed for 172 yards. And there were a number of costly penalties committed by the Huskies.Yet, Washington found a way to prevail, thanks to Dante Pettis 58-yard punt return touchdown with 3:25 left that put the Huskies ahead for good.Washington (8-0, 5-0 Pac-12) is almost assured of finding itself in the top 4 when the first College Football Playoff rankings are released Tuesday. And the obstacles between the Huskies and the playoff are dwindling, although this week provides a unique test going back on thee road to face California.ddddddddddddBut facing such a pass-heavy opponent could have benefits down the road for Washington with the regular-season finale coming at Washington State.Its good we just went on the road in a tough environment, so it just feels a lot different playing at home than on the road. So to go right back into another (road) environment, I think that can be a positive, Petersen said. Cal is good at home, like most are. If weve got to go on the road, to go back to back I think is OK.Pettis was named the Pac-12 special teams player of the week, to go along with linebacker Azeem Victor being named defensive player of the week. Victors 16 total tackles overshadowed a pair of costly personal foul penalties he received, one of which was for jawing with former teammate and Utah quarterback Troy Williams.Petersen said Victor had already completed his punishment for the unsportsmanlike conduct foul -- typically 500 push-ups. Its the same punishment Browning received after receiving a similar flag in the win at Oregon for pointing at an opposing player as he ran into the end zone.Its hard stuff because we want those kids playing right there to the edge. They have to play this game emotional and it is emotional, but you can play too emotional for sure, Petersen said. I think that was a little bit of the case with our defense for a lot of the game. That wasnt one of our better defense games.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
