GENEVA -- Two days after Russia finished fourth in the Olympic medal table, its Paralympic team was barred from the next big games in Rio de Janeiro as punishment for a state-backed doping program.Sports highest court on Tuesday upheld a decision by the International Paralympic Committee to exclude the sports superpower. It was a step the IOC declined to take when it had the chance last month.The 267 entries which Russian Paralympic athletes earned in 18 sports for the Sept. 7-18 games in Rio will now be allocated to other nations not judged responsible for orchestrated cheating.Russia won 36 gold medals at the 2012 Paralympics, second most in London, and was a runaway table-topping leader at its home 2014 Winter Paralympics.Still, the Sochi Winter Games and Winter Paralympics are now notorious for results corrupted by state-funded agencies plotting to swap tainted doping samples from Russian athletes for clean ones at official testing laboratories.In the fallout from those recent revelations -- by the Russian lab director who has fled to the United States, and a World Anti-Doping Agency inquiry set up to investigate his claims -- the Court of Arbitration for Sport announced its urgent verdict Tuesday.CAS dismissed the Russian Paralympic Committees appeal against exclusion from competing in Rio after a hearing was held in Brazil on Monday.The court said its judges agreed the world Paralympic body did not violate any procedural rule in banning the Russian team two weeks ago.Then, in Rio, the IPC President Philip Craven had said of Russia that: Their medals over morals mentality disgusts me.(The) decision to ban the (Russian team) was made in accordance with the IPC Rules and was proportionate in the circumstances, the sports court said Tuesday in a statement.Russias Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev blamed the doping ban on politics.The investigation about the Russian doping is a thick and disgusting mix containing 80 percent of politics and 20 percent of the actual doping, the politics targeting against sports, Russian athletes and Russia as a country, Medvedev wrote in a Facebook post on Tuesday.Medvedev described the ban as a doubly cynical decision since were talking about people who have to overcome themselves every day. Its a blow for all disabled people, not just the Russian ones.A further appeal to Switzerlands federal court is possible, though unlikely before the games open, an attorney representing the Russian athletes, Alexei Karpenko, said in televised remarks.The Swiss supreme court could intervene if the legal process was abused by Lausanne-based CAS, though it would not re-judge the evidence. The CAS panel was satisfied that organized Russia doping was proven.The Russian appeal to CAS did not file any evidence contradicting the facts on which the IPC decision was based, the courts judging panel said.The world Paralympic governing body used evidence from an ongoing WADA-appointed investigation into a Russian state program of doping and cover-ups which ran from 2011 to 2015 in almost 30 summer and winter sports.The IPC said two weeks ago it had evidence of manipulated doping tests relating to 44 Russian athletes, including 27 from competitors in eight sports on the Paralympic program.On Tuesday, Craven said the ruling was a sad day for the Paralympic Movement, but we hope also a new beginning.Todays decision underlines our strong belief that doping has absolutely no place in Paralympic sport, and further improves our ability to ensure fair competition and a level playing field for all Para athletes around the world, Craven said in a statement.Still, it was not a day for celebration and we have enormous sympathy for the Russian athletes who will now miss out on the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games, the British official said.Craven is also a member of the International Olympic Committee, whose executive board declined to use similar evidence from WADA investigator Richard McLarens report to exclude Russia for the Rio Olympics which ended Sunday.Instead, the IOC asked individual sports governing bodies to decide if Russian teams and athletes could compete. Russias weightlifting team was banned and only one track and field athlete, who trained in the U.S. out of the Russian testing system, was ruled eligible.Russia won 56 Olympic medals, including 19 gold, in Rio to trail only the U.S., Britain and China.Medvedev suggested Russias strength as a competitor was a factor in the blanket ban.One certainly sees in this decision a striving of some leaders of the international Paralympic movement to eliminate strong rivals since our team always won top spots, the former state president wrote.---Associated Press writer Nataliya Vasilyeva in Moscow contributed to this report Bruce Taylor Jersey .

AMES, Iowa -- It was apparent after Iowa States opener that the Cyclones will struggle to run the ball this season. The Cyclones cant seem to throw it much, either, an issue that has plunged the program into a quarterback controversy just two games into coach Matt Campbells first season.Quarterback Joel Lannings starting job may be in jeopardy after he gave way to sophomore Jacob Park in last weeks 42-3 loss to No. 13 Iowa . Iowa State, which is 127th out of 128 FBS teams with just 11.5 points per game, visits TCU (1-1) on Saturday as a 23.5-point underdog hoping to avoid its first 0-3 start since 1997.I dont know if I forecast any major changes right now. But I think thats what practice is for, Campbell said.In the offseason there was never a question that Lanning, a junior who took over the starting job midway through last season, would be the guy going forward. But he looked so bad on Saturday that Campbell was forced to pull him.Lanning, who threw three touchdowns passes for the third time in his career in Iowa States 25-20 loss to FCS school Northern Iowa on Sept. 3, looked shaky from the opening series against the Hawkeyes.Lanning misfired on a number of easy early passes designed to help the Cyclones move the ball in the absence of a rushing threat. Iowa only made things worse, forcing Iowa State to abandon the run game altogether by building a 28-3 lead before halftime. Lanning completed just 8 of 20 passes for 86 yards and, for the third time in two games, an interception that couldve easily been avoided.Park, a transfer who started his career at Georgia, wasnt much better. He finished 6 of 15 for 79 yards playing largely agaiinst Iowa reserves.ddddddddddddanning was listed as the starter on Mondays depth chart, and the fact that his teammates named him a captain would make a change a tricky one.But Campbell didnt dismiss the idea of playing both against the Horned Frogs, who will likely be motivated to rebound from a 41-38 home loss to Arkansas last weekend.If you look at my past, Ive never been a one-quarterback guy. I think Ive always (been about) what gives us the best chance to be successful, Campbell said. Were going to do whatever we need to do to give ourselves some consistency on (offense).Iowa States offensive line, battered by injuries and inexperience, appears to be a problem that wont be fixed anytime soon. Running back Mike Warren, who had 1,337 yards as a freshman in 2015, had just seven carries for 28 yards last weekend as Iowa stuffed him in the backfield time and time again.Campbell said Saturday that Warren has got to be a guy thats accountable on and off the field, adding that he thought Warren failed to make some plays that he could have made. He didnt completely change from that stance Monday.My challenge to Michael is my challenge for all of our players. We have to continue to get better, said Campbell, who added that his comments werent meant to be a dig at Warren. We knew what expectations would be put on Mike ... hes got to make sure hes at his best constantly so he can handle all that comes with that.---Follow Luke Meredith on Twitter at www.twitter.com/LukeMeredithAP--Online: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
