Boxer Manny Pacquiao Manny Pacquiao's political career received a boost Thursday as he earned a seat in the  Philippines Senate, but  Pac -Man may not be ready to put his old career behind him just yet. After the 37-year-old eight-division world champion finished seventh among 12 newly elected senators with over 16 million votes, he expressed interest in representing the Philippines at the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro , according to the Associated Press. "I need to ask if the Filipino people will allow me to participate in the Olympics." Pacquiao retired from boxing following his unanimous-decision victory over Timothy Bradley in April 2016, but with professionals now being permitted to qualify for boxing in the Olympics, his hiatus from the ring could be brief. Boxing trainer Freddie Roach added this, per the Associated Press (ESPN .COM):  "He asked me if I would train him if they let pros in the Olympics. I said of course I will....

Eleven Ducks who ran under legendary coach Bill Bowerman broke the hallowed sub-four-minute-mile barrier, and on May 27 the ten surviving members of the group are returning to the University of Oregon for a special event, dubbed the “Sub 4 Reunion.” Organized as a fundraiser by the Oregon Track Club — founded by Bowerman himself more than 50 years ago — the public is invited to meet the milers and hear their stories. The reunion, held at the John E. Jaqua Center for Student Athletes, will feature a social hour,  panel discussion and question-and-answer session, and at the conclusion of the reunion attendees will head to Hayward Field for the 42nd running of the Prefontaine Classic. The sub-4 theme extends beyond the 10 honored guests, too. Tickets cost $25 for the public and $20 for OTC members, but if you’ve run a sub-4 mile it’s free. Hop Valley Brewing Company will debut a new beer, dubbed the Sub 4 Ale, at the event. Even the emcees, Andrew Wheating and T...

Uhuru Kenyatta / President of Kenya Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta has vowed to ensure the country makes the necessary changes to its anti-doping system ahead of an extended deadline of 2 May to avoid providing an “excuse” for them to be suspended from this year’s Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. Kenya missed an initial deadline of 5 April to introduce a new Bill into Parliament, something that was not passed in time due partly to a Parliamentary recess. A fresh time limit was imposed by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) following discussion on Kenya during an Independent Compliance Review Committee meeting in Montreal. If improvements are not made by then, a recommendation of non-compliance will be made ahead of a WADA Foundation Board meeting on 12 May. “By next week latest, the Anti-Doping Bill will have been passed by Parliament and I will have signed it into law – so that there will be no excuse to deny our team from participatio...

Isaac Kamande Mwangi The IAAF’s Ethics Committee has rejected former Athletics Kenya (AK) chief executive Isaac Kamande Mwangi’s appeal against his provisional six-month ban for violating anti-doping controls. The punishment was handed out by the International Association of Athletics Federations, the sport’s governing body, in February after Mwangi was accused of seeking bribes to reduce the doping bans of two athletes. His provisional suspension came after former AK president Isaiah Kiplagat, ex-deputy David Okeyo and former treasurer Joseph Kinyua were banned by the Ethics Committee on charges of mis-using funds from a sponsorship by U.S. sports manufacturer Nike. All the officials deny any wrong-doing. Joy Sakari and Francisca Koki Manunga said Mwangi asked each of them for $24,000 to reduce four-year bans. Sharad Rao, Kenya’s barrister appointed by the IAAF , said on Friday that he would complete his probe into the affair by mid-May. ...
