AP Photo/Stephen Brashear Olympic marathon champion Sumgong banned Olympic marathon champion Jemima Sumgong was banned for four years for EPO after a doping tribunal rejected her explanation that the blood-boosting hormone was in her system because she had been treated at a hospital in Kenya days before her failed test. The tribunal found no legiti- mate record of the hospital visit and treatment for an ectopic preg- nancy claimed by Sumgong, it said Tuesday in a decision released by the Anti-Doping Agency of Kenya. The panel ruling on her case said the 32-year-old Sumgong’s hospital story was “inconsistent at best.” “We might go so far as to state that the athlete’s attempt to explain how the substance entered her body bordered on an attempt to deceive the panel,” the ruling said. — Associated Press SCOREBOARD FOOTBALL 4A Quarterfinals Gladstone at Cottage Grove Henley at Mazama La Grande at Marshfield Ontario at Scappoose 3A Quarterfinals Coquille/Pacific at Scio Harrisburg at Cascade Christian Rainier at Nyssa Vale at Santiam Christian 2A Quarterfinals Heppner at St. Paul Santiam at Grant Union Oakland at Knappa Kennedy at Monroe BOYS SOCCER 4A Semifinals Newport at Brookings-Harbor McLoughlin at Stayton GIRLS SOCCER 4A Semifinals Hidden Valley at Molalla Philomath at Valley Catholic VOLLEYBALL 4A Championship Sisters def.

Seahawks with no time to lament growing list of issues By TIM BOOTH Associated Press UP NEXT: SEAHAWKS RENTON, Wash. — Maybe it’s best the Seattle Seahawks don’t have time to dwell on what went wrong. By the time Monday afternoon rolled around, the Seahawks were trying to put the mistakes of Sunday’s 17-14 loss to Washing- ton behind them, knowing they had barely 72 hours to prepare for Thursday’s divisional game at Arizona. But it was hard to ignore such a sloppy per- formance by the Seahawks that featured 16 penalties, two turnovers, three missed field goals and Washington scoring with less than a minute remaining to walk out of Seattle with an unlikely victory. “We’ve got some real serious stuff we’ve got to get better at,” Seattle coach Pete Car- roll said. Carroll was not in the best of moods Mon- day, with the continued penalty problems at the • Seattle Seahawks (5-3) at Arizona Cardinals (4-4) • Thursday, 5:25 p.m. TV: NBC top of the list. But he also was irritated by Blair Walsh’s three missed field goals, quarterback Russell Wilson sometimes escaping the pocket too early, and his defense surrendering two big plays on Washington’s final drive. The Seahawks have shown flaws through- out the first half of the season, but Sunday was the first time so many of them had surfaced in the same game. “We have so much to improve and I am sur- prised somewhat that we’re not further along in these areas that I’m talking about right now,” Carroll said. “These are things that we really can control and we have a chance to be good.” The 16 penalties were the second-most in franchise history and the most by any team in the NFL this season. Carroll was particularly miffed that 10 of the penalties came against the offense and all of them left Seattle fac- ing long-yardage situations. All five offensive linemen were flagged at least once. Seattle has never been the cleanest team with penalties, but the Seahawks already have games of 16 and 15 penalties this season, the most in Carroll’s tenure. “It’s a group thing when you have a bunch like this, but it comes down to individual choices and making good decisions and doing things right,” Carroll said. “So we’re going to jump all over it with another emphasis.” There was also concern about Walsh’s con- fidence moving forward after an awful kicking game. Walsh missed wide left from 39, 44 and 49 yards all in the first half and left Seattle fac- ing a 7-2 deficit at halftime. Walsh had been 12 of 13 on the season going into Sunday’s game, and Carroll said the Seahawks would not be making a change. McKennie, Carter-Vickers could make US soccer debuts Associated Press CHICAGO — Midfield- ers Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams, 17-old forward Josh Sargent, defender Cameron Carter-Vickers and goalkeeper Jesse Gonzalez could make their U.S. national team debuts in a Nov. 14 exhibition at Portugal. Defender Matt Miazga, mid- fielder Lynden Gooch and goalkeep- ers Ethan Horvath and Bill Hamid also are part of a young 21-man roster announced Tuesday by interim coach Dave Sarachan, who took over when Bruce Arena quit last month after the U.S. failed to qualify for next year’s World Cup. Half the players are 24 and under. Christian Pulisic, the Americans’ star 19-year-old midfielder, is being given the game off. After missing the World Cup for the first time since 1986, the U.S. likely will not play a com- petitive match until the summer of 2019 and has more than five years to prepare for the 2022 World Cup. “Christian has had a very long year,” Sarachan said in a statement. “Chris- tian has really pushed the lim- its mentally and physically. With those things in mind, we felt this was an opportunity for Christian to get a break and recharge.” Forward Jordan Morris is still recovering from a right hamstring injury suffered Sept. 10, forward Bobby Wood is out with a knee prob- lem and winger Paul Arriola is recov- ering from an unspecified medical procedure. Players were not picked from the four teams remaining in Major League Soc- cer’s playoffs, ruling out Toronto forward Jozy Altidore and midfielder Michael Bradley. Defender John Brooks returns from a torn thigh muscle suf- fered Aug. 12 that caused him to miss qualifiers in Sep- tember and October. The oldest player on the roster is 30-year-old midfielder Alejandro Bedoya. McKennie, 19, made his Bunde- sliga debut last May with Schalke and has appeared in seven league and two cup matches this season. Sargent agreed in September to sign a professional contract with Werder Bremen when he turns 18 on Feb. 20. He could become the first player to appear for the Under-17, Under-20 and national team in the same year. “He’s in good form coming off his time with the U-17s and is some- one who will be able to handle the fitness level we’re looking for in this camp,” Sarachan said. “This camp gives us a chance to give a first look to a young player we think will have a bright future in the national team program.” The 19-year-old Carter-Vickers, a son of former NBA guard Howard Carter, made his Tottenham debut last season and appeared in a pair of FA Cup matches. On loan this season to second-tier Sheffield United, he has one goal in eight matches. Adams, 18, played with Sargent and Carter-Vickers at this year’s Under-20 World Cup and became a regular this season with the New York Red Bulls. Short week, opponent provide challenges for No. 9 Washington By TIM BOOTH Associated Press AP Photo/Ted S. Warren Washington head coach Chris Petersen, leads his team off the field after they beat Oregon 38-3 Saturday in Seattle. SEATTLE — Having a fullback has become noteworthy in college football. And for Washington coach Chris Petersen, Stanford’s use of one was the focal point for a lesson as the Huskies get set to face the Cardinal on Friday. “There’s a lot of stuff we hav- en’t seen anything like that. So we’ve got to be able to get lined up correct. We’ve got to be able to play a full- back. We explained what a fullback is to our defense today. They were very intrigued,” Petersen cracked Monday. It’s a short week for Washington (8-1, 5-1 Pac-12) to prepare for argu- ably its toughest game to date. After routing Oregon on Saturday night, the Huskies had to rapidly turn around to get ready to face Stanford and star run- ning back Bryce Love. The Huskies will also have a national audience and a chance to potentially enhance their slim chances of getting back in the College Foot- ball Playoff discussion. Of course, that means winning at a place where Washington has not been victorious since 2007 and figuring out a Stanford offense that’s such an outlier. “That’s probably one thing that is harder to do later in the season, this late in the season is to go do some game planning early,” Petersen said. “When you’re early in the season, the summer time, you can kind of look at those first three games and get some ideas and that, but things change so much during the season. But we’re fine. Both sides will be fine. There’s enough time and both sides will put together good plans.” In some ways, the situation facing the Huskies playing on a short week is better than last year when they hosted the Cardinal on a Friday night. Wash- ington played at Arizona late on a Sat- urday and didn’t get back to Seat- tle until early Sunday morning then almost immediately had to go to work prepping for the Cardinal. This time, the Huskies at least were able to comfortably sleep in their own beds after beating Oregon before get- ting started on the Stanford prepara- tions. Petersen said he pointed out to his team that their situation is noth- ing compared to what the Seattle Sea- hawks are facing this week with a Thursday game. “We all want to feel sorry for our- selves and can’t believe we’re having to do this but then I look at the Sea- hawks and the (Cardinals) and I’m fine. That’s really tough,” Petersen said.
