GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- No. 23?Florida?likely will be without quarterback Luke Del Rio against No. 15?Tennessee next weekend.?Del Rio injured his left knee in a 32-0 victory against North Texas on Saturday night, a huge setback for the Gators and their championship hopes.It doesnt look great, so well do whatever, said coach Jim McElwain, adding that former Purdue starter Austin Appleby would be the next guy up. Somebody else will play, and well get some guys ready and move forward and get ready to go play next week.Defensive lineman Joshua Wheeler hit Del Rio low at the end of an incomplete pass late in the third quarter, drawing a personal-foul penalty. Trainers and McElwain rushed to the field as Del Rio ripped off his helmet. Del Rio eventually got up and walked to the locker room without assistance.But that was hardly the end of it for Florida (3-0).McElwain, who initially believed Wheelers hit was dirty, started yelling at the North Texas (1-2) sideline and had to be restrained by officials and then his players.I obviously took that low hit on Luke awful personal, McElwain said. Im sure his guy was just scrambling trying to make a play, but I really care about these players. I care about them in more ways than just football players, and when you see something like that, its my responsibility when their parents arent here to be their parents.I care about these kids. Theyre mine. I see something like that, it aint right.Both teams responded to McElwains tirade by stepping onto the field and moving toward the hashmarks.On the next play, Florida guard Martez Ivey was ejected for grabbing linebacker Fred Scott by the face mask during a run. Ivey will not be suspended for the first half of next weeks game against the Volunteers.Del Rio completed 14 of 25 passes for 186 yards with an interception.The injury overshadowed a dominant performance by Floridas defense, which allowed a school-record 53 yards on 50 plays. The previous mark was 59 yards allowed against Western Carolina in 2006.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- British cyclist Lizzie Armitstead insisted in a two-page statement Wednesday that she is a clean athlete and that three missed anti-doping tests in a 12-month period amounted to honest oversights.She released the statement one day after U.K. Anti-Doping confirmed the world road race champion had successfully appealed her case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Armitstead faced a provisional suspension and two-year ban that could have kept her out of the Rio Olympics.The reigning silver medalist will lead Britains squad in Sundays road race.I love the sport and the values it represents. It hurts me to consider anybody questioning my performances, Armitstead wrote. I hate dopers and what they have done to sport.The 27-year-old Armitstead outlined the circumstances for each missed test, though she only argued the first miss before a World Cup race in Sweden last August should be thrown out. Armitstead said anti-doping officials had not followed proper procedure and CAS ultimately agreed.Armitstead explained that she was at the hotel she stated when anti-doping officials arrived, but that her phone was on silent and hotel staff refused to give the tester her room number.She was tested the following day and the test was negative.Armitstead said she contested the missed test with a written explanation after learning of it, but that the letter was not accepted before she traveled to the U.S. for last years world championships.Put simply, Armitstead said, I was available and willing to provide a sample for UKAD.Armitstead acknowledged fault in the other two missed tests. She called the October 2015 case a filing failure after anti-doping officials found an inconsistency in her overnight accommodations and her time slot during a routine spot check, and that her June 2016 missed test came after a last-minute change of plans following an unspecified family emergency.Last December, Armitstead met with UKAD and British Cycling officials to develop a supporrt plan to avoid another missed test.ddddddddddddBut a British Cycling official who was supposed to help Armitstead update her whereabouts plan had departed the organization without her knowing about it.If that failsafe was in place, Armitstead said, her third missed test could have been avoided.The World Anti-Doping Agency has tried to make it easier for athletes to update their whereabouts in recent years. Along with updating their time slots and whereabouts on a website, by email and text message, they can also have agents or representatives submit information on their behalf.Perhaps the biggest surprise in the case was that Armitstead and British Cycling were able to keep it confidential until its resolution, especially with the Rio Olympics beginning in a matter of days.Armitstead said she the reason it hadnt been discussed publicly was that I had the right to a fair trial at CAS. It is clear sensational headlines have a detrimental effect to any legal case.Now, she hopes to turn her attention fully toward competing in Rio.The road race course is considered one of the toughest in Olympics history, starting with a long, fast stretch away from Copacabana and along Rios coast. The race then heads into the hills with smaller climbs on the Grumari circuit before hard, steep ascents of Canoas and Vista Chinesa.Those back-to-back climbs are likely to be where the road race is won or lost.Armitstead is not a pure climber, but if she can survive the late-race hills, a fast run-in to the finish could give her another opportunity to claim the gold that narrowly eluded her four years ago.Integrity is something I strive for in every part of my life. I will hold my head high in Rio and do my best for Great Britain, Armitstead wrote. I am sorry for causing anyone to lose faith in sport. I am an example of what hard work and dedication can achieve.
