OSLO, Norway -- Defending cross-country World Cup champion Therese Johaug was handed a two-month provisional suspension Wednesday pending a full investigation into her positive doping test.Johaug, one of Norways most decorated female cross-country skiers, tested positive for the steroid clostebol. The Norwegian ski federation said the drug came from a lotion given to her by team doctor Fredrik Bendiksen to treat sunburn on her lips during high-altitude training in Italy in August.In a tear-filled news conference last week, Johaug insisted she was without guilt and said Bendiksen had assured her the lotion did not contain any banned substance.Anti-Doping Norway imposed a provisional suspension until Dec. 18, meaning Johaug will miss the start of the World Cup season.In a statement issued by the Norwegian ski federation, Johaug said she wouldnt appeal the decision.Now I will focus on whats most important: working for a full acquittal, she said.Niels Kiaer, an attorney for the agency, told The Associated Press that investigators will evaluate the case more closely in coming weeks to determine the appropriate penalty. He said under international doping rules that could range between a two-month suspension to a four-year ban.The fact that she has now been suspended provisionally means she has some degree of fault, Kiaer said. Which degree of fault is what we will now investigate.The 28-year-old Johaug has three Olympic medals and 11 World Championship medals, including seven golds. She won gold in the 4x5 kilometer relay at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games, with a bronze and silver at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. Shes won the overall World Cup title twice.Anti-doping Norway also launched an investigation into Bendiksen, who resigned as team doctor after taking the blame for Johaugs positive test.It now seems fairly clear that it was caused by a medicine delivered by the doctor, Kiaer said. We need to evaluate if he also is in breach of the rules.Johaugs case has rattled Norway and comes just months after its top male cross-country skier, Martin Johnsrud Sundby, got a two-month suspension for a doping infringement related to an asthma medication.Norwegian cross-country skiers have dominated both the mens and womens competitions in recent years.Chris Taylor Jersey .5 million, one-year contract on Friday.

It wont be happening. Morrow was placed on the 15-day disabled list on Saturday with a right forearm strain. Its the same injury that forced him out of his most recent start after only two innings on Tuesday against the Braves. Ramon Ortiz returns to the club three days after being designated for assignment. Ordinarily, Ortiz would have had to spend 10 days off the 40-man roster but an exception is made for injury replacement. In order to create space for Ortiz on the 40-man roster, struggling left-hander Ricky Romero first cleared waivers and was then outrighted to Triple-A Buffalo. While there has been no formal announcement, its reasonable to expect Ortiz will start on Sunday. In a straight-up move, right-hander Mickey Storey was recalled from Buffalo and Chad Jenkins, effective in three starts for Toronto, was optioned out. Storey wwill work the role of long man in a Blue Jays bullpen further depleted by Fridays 4-3, 17-inning marathon loss to the Padres.dddddddddddd Seven relievers worked 11 scoreless innings from the sixth to the 16th before the game was lost with two outs in the 17th. Jenkins demotion makes sense because the Blue Jays have off days on Monday and Thursday. Coupled with Josh Johnsons return from triceps inflammation on Tuesday in San Francisco, the club doesnt need a fifth starter until June 11th. Romeros removal from the 40-man roster represents the latest significant moment in the fall of a once-promising career. The 28-year-old has struggled mightily for the Bisons, posting a 13.85 ERA in four starts. Hes walked 20 over his 13 innings of work while striking out three. Ortiz, 40, is 1-2 with a 5.01 ERA in six appearances, three starts for the Blue Jays. Storey, 27, has made two appearances for the Blue Jays, both in relief. He has a 7.36 ERA in 3 2/3 innings. ' ' '
