U.S. womens national team coach Jill Ellis has emphasized that Hope Solos suspension stemmed from a `sum total of actions and not just comments the goalkeeper made about Sweden during the Olympics.Solo was suspended for six months and her contract with U.S. Soccer was terminated following the teams disappointing exit from the Rio Games.Sweden eliminated the United States on penalty kicks after a 1-1 draw in the quarterfinals. Afterward, Solo called the Swedes a bunch of cowards for their defensive style of play.Ellis discussed the suspension for the first time in a Q & A interview published on U.S. Soccers website.Over time theres been off the field distractions for which the Federation has taken action. Each time an action has been taken theres been made clear an expectation that this would be the last time such a step would be necessary, Ellis said. Sadly, how Hope handled her post-Olympic comments forced us to make a significant decision. Its not simply a decision made about comments, it was based on the sum total of actions that have unfortunately shone a negative light on our program.Solo wont be eligible for selection to the national team again until February.Solo was also suspended in early 2015 after husband Jerramy Stevens was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence in a U.S. Soccer team van while the team was at a Southern California training camp. Solo was with him at the time. The former Seattle Seahawks tight end later pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 30 days in jail and four years on probation. Solo was suspended by U.S. Soccer for 30 days.Solo also faces the possibility of a trial on misdemeanor domestic violence charges after a 2014 incident at her sisters home, when she was accused of being intoxicated and assaulting her sister and 17-year-old nephew. Solo said she was a victim in the altercation. Earlier this year, an appeals court in Washington state rejected Solos request to avoid trial.Following her latest suspension, Solo decided to end her season with the Seattle Reign of the National Womens Soccer League.The suspensions have sullied an otherwise stellar career.She became the first goalkeeper with 100 international shutouts when the United States defeated South Africa 1-0 in Chicago in July. It also was her 150th career win. During the Rio Games she made her 200th appearance in goal for the United States, an international record.Solo won her second straight Golden Glove Award for the best goalkeeper at the Womens World Cup a year ago. Over the course of the tournament in Canada, she had five shutouts and allowed only three goals in seven games. The U.S. won the World Cup for its third title in soccers premier event.Ellis said in the U.S. Soccer interview that the team will look to develop goalkeepers in the run-up to the 2019 World Cup in France.After the Olympics the plan was always to prepare for 2019 and that means investing in the other goalkeepers and getting them playing time. Thats still the process and its the same for every position, she said. Everything right now is building towards 2019 and our future. Juan Thornhill Chiefs Jersey .

MOSCOW -- Two Russian weightlifters have been banned for doping in a further hit to the credibility of both Russian sport and weightlifting ahead of the Rio de Janeiro Olympics.Former European under-23 champion Alexei Selyutin was banned for four years and Russian national champion Yekaterina Vlasova for 18 months, the Russian anti-doping agency says, citing the Russian weightlifting federation.The agency did not provide details of the offenses.While Selyutin and Vlasova werre unlikely to make the Russian team for Rio, their bans are a further blow for Russian weightlifting, which already risks being barred from the Olympics altogether for numerous earlier doping cases.ddddddddddddWeightlifting is also in the grip of a doping crisis after many medalists from the 2008 and 2012 Olympics failed retests of their samples.
