VATICAN CITY -- Russian athletes still have a long way to go before they can be readmitted to the Paralympics, according to the head of the International Paralympic Committee.Russia was barred from the recently concluded Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro for state-backed doping. IPC President Philip Craven said the country has to prove it can meet certain readmission criteria that will be conveyed in the coming weeks.We want Russia to be back in competition. ... But theres a lot of work that will have to be done before that can happen, Craven told The Associated Press on the sidelines of a Vatican convention on faith and sports. We dont have a deadline.The 2018 Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, are a year-and-a-half away.We dont have an amount of time to play with, Craven said. We just have certain factors that will be conveyed to the Russian Paralympic Committee that have to be complied with. Its as simple as that.While the International Olympic Committee decided against a complete ban on Russia for the Rio Olympics, the IPC barred the entire Russian team from the Paralympics. The IPC also rejected athletes requests for individual admission, and 94 athletes unsuccessfully petitioned German courts to be allowed to compete.People have said it was a courageous decision, Craven said. It wasnt a courageous decision. The board was united and it was a correct decision and thats how I hope we will always operate.Russian doping, including tampering with samples at the 2014 Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Sochi, were outlined earlier this year by World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren.Craven said the criteria for readmission will not include Russian Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko stepping down from his position.Im sure that that will not be a condition, Craven said. I think what were looking for is to be certain that were dealing with a team that have clean athletes in it. Thats really all it is.But its a major ask based on the information that we are aware of following the McLaren report and, of course, theres a further McLaren report expected at the end of this month and well have to see what that divulges.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampf Zack Greinke Diamondbacks Jersey .

No. 7 Virginia | No. 9 Arizona | Full ListNo. 8: XAVIER MUSKETEERSLast season: 28-6, 14-4 Big EastThe Musketeers wont be able to sneak up on people as they did last season. Coach Chris Mack brings back leading scorer Trevon Bluiett?and the starting backcourt of Edmond Sumner and Myles Davis (he is currently suspended indefinitely). Look for Norfolk State transfer RaShid Gaston to step in and ease the loss of James Farr and Jalen Reynolds up front. Xavier should challenge Villanova for Big East supremacy.?-- Jeff GoodmanBest case: Elite Eight. The Musketeers won 28 games last season, but stunningly lost in the NCAA tournament to Wisconsin via a last-second bomb by Bronson Koenig. With the loss of Jalen Reynolds and the suspension of Milles Davis, Xavier is down a couple of mainstays from last season.ddddddddddddStill, this is a tough-minded team that has everything, especially good guards. Trevon Bluiett and Edmund Sumner are a top-flight backcourt, and Xavier still has size and a gang-rebounding mentality.Worst case:?Early exit. Depending upon the draw, Xavier could be in the same position as last postseason, playing a Power 5 team that struggled to be rated higher but is still really capable. With good size but not much scoring up front, Xavier will rely upon its guards. Guards win, but not without good big guys.No. 9 Arizona | Full List ' ' '
