World Anti-doping Agency president Craig Reedie claims the integrity of the Rio Olympics was not undermined despite some regrettable flaws in the athlete testing process. A 55-page report from WADAs independent observers painted a damning picture of anti-doping procedures at the Games, citing lack of co-ordination, insufficient resources and a significant shortfall on planned tests.The report said that on some days up to half of all planned tests due to be carried out in the Athletes Village had to be aborted because the athletes could not be found and the total number of completed tests was almost 500 fewer than hoped. While Reedie accepts there were serious problems on the ground, he does not believe the effort was fundamentally undermined. The IOC, who are responsible for the whole anti-doping effort at Olympic Games, made substantial efforts and they got through it, he said. There were major issues, however - logical issues - particularly on sample collections, and thats disappointing.What was the real problem was the business of sample collecting - tracing athletes to find out where they were. There were a number of major issues in Brazil. One was a lack of money. Secondly there was a lack of manpower and some of that worked its way through to the sample-collection process.That is regrettable. You simply had to make the process work as best you could. But, at the end of the day, our independent reports said that while it was disappointing, in general the integrity of the process was not undermined.The report does concede there were some outstanding efforts and a phrase I think they used was enormous resourcefulness and goodwill of some key doping personnel who actually made the system work. They got around 90 per cent of the projected numbers of sample collections. Watch NOW TV Watch Sky Sports for just £6.99. No contract. Reedie explained that one of the key issues related to athlete chaperones, who the report claims were provided with inadequate training and information.Athletes are called for sample collection by chaperones and unfortunately quite a large number of the planned chaperones either werent trained properly or some didnt even turn up, he said.So it was a manpower problem and then the details of how you find people in the village. You would go back later in the day and see if you could find them. You would keep doing it unless you didnt have the manpower to find them. Sebastian Coe is proposing to introduce Integrity Unit for athletics Meanwhile, IAAF president Sebastian Coe admits the reports alleging serious drug-test failings at Rio made for uncomfortable reading. The only thing I would say is I welcome reports like that, sometimes they are uncomfortable reading, but I would rather have those sorts of observations, said Coe, who is proposing to introduce an independent Athletics Integrity Unit, which will be responsible for doping matters, taking powers away from national associations.The testing itself is independent, he said. I think where we have fallen foul is around results management. That all too often has had national interest involved.We cannot survive as a sport unless clean athletes absolutely feel that they have the full force of a federation behind their legitimate attempts to be the best they can possibly be. Thats non-negotiable. Also See: Results & Medal Table Photo Galleries Team GB Philadelphia Eagles Matt Pryor Jersey . The next step is a better finish.

SHKODRA, Albania -- Mario Mandzukic struck a first-half hat trick for Croatia to hand Kosovos 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign a bitter setback on Thursday.The team from the tiny Balkan nation earned a credible 1-1 draw in Finland last month in its competitive international debut and was looking to spring another surprise against heavy favorite Croatia.But Croatia and Mandzukic had different ideas, and won 6-0. It was the first competitive home game for Kosovo but played in Albanias northern city of Shkodra, as Kosovo has no stadium certified by UEFA.All 16,000 seats in Shkodras recently renovated stadium were filled.Kosovo became a UEFA member in May, joined FIFA a week later, and was fast-tracked into World Cup qualifying though many nations still have not recognized it.Proving the sensitivity of the move, Croat fans started chanting in Serbo-Croatian Kill, kill the Serbs in the second half, and they were echoed and followed by Kosovo fans, too, in Albanian.Croatia was without star midfielders Ivan Rakitic and Luka Modric but had another star available: Mandzukic ruthlessly exploited Kosovos inexperience and needed just six minutes to open the scoring off a pass from Andrej Kramaric.And that was just the beginning for the striker.In the 24th, Mandzukic met Ivan Perisics cross to head home and double the lead, and completed his hat trick with another header 10 minutes before the interval, this time using a cross from Sime Vrsaljko, for his 27th goal in 71 internationals.With the damage done and the result beyond doubt early, Mandzukic was substituted by Nikola Kalinic in the 58th.ddddddddddddMatej Mitrovic, Perisic and Kalinic added one each for Croatia to finish Kosovo off.With only the winner qualifying automatically, Croatia is tied atop Group I with Iceland, on four points. Ukraine and Turkey have two points after their 2-2 draw. Kosovo is at the bottom of the group with one.ICELAND 3, FINLAND 2Iceland rallied in the final minutes to earn its first victory in qualifying.Alfred Finnbogason leveled the score in the final minute of the match, and Ragnar Sigurdsson scored the winner deep into stoppage time for the surprise Euro 2016 quarterfinalist.Gylfi Sigurdsson wasted a golden opportunity to tie it at 2-2 from the spot earlier in the second.Finland, which is also seeking its first World Cup appearance, took a 2-1 lead with goals from Teemu Pukki and Robin Lod.Kari Arnason scored for Iceland in the first half.TURKEY 2, UKRAINE 2Hakan Calhanoglu converted from the spot nine minutes from time to keep Turkey in contention.The Ukraine visitors, who hope to add another World Cup appearance after reaching the quarterfinals in 2006, made a strong start through Andriy Yarmolenko from the penalty spot, and Artem Kravets doubled the lead for Ukraine just three minutes later.Ozan Tufan reduced the lead to one in first-half stoppage time to start the Turkish comeback.
