The United States' delegation to the upcoming Winter Olympics in Russia won't include a member of President Barack Obama's family or a cabinet secretary,Nike Shox, but it will include openly gay athletes -- a clear jab at Russia's recent anti-gay laws. Tennis legend Billie Jean King will join former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and figure skater Brian Boitano at the games' opening ceremonies on February 7, the White House said Tuesday. White House aide Rob Nabors and the U.S. ambassador to Russia will round out the delegation to Sochi. King was one of the first professional athletes to come out as gay in the 1980s,Billige Nike Air Max. Two weeks later, a group led by Deputy Secretary of State William Burns will attend the closing ceremony. Speed skaters Bonnie Blair and Eric Heiden, as well as openly gay hockey player Caitlin Cahow, will also attend. Cahow, 28,Nike Norge, is a two-time Olympian. It's the first time in more than a decade the President, Vice President,Nike Free Run, First Lady or former president hasn't attended an Olympic opening or closing ceremony. First Lady Michelle Obama led the delegation to 2012's Summer Olympics in London, and President George W. Bush made the trek to China for Beijing's games in 2008. Vice President Joe Biden and his wife led a U.S. group to the last Winter Games,Nike Free, held in Vancouver. The absence of high-ranking U.S. officials amounts to a snub to Russia, whose relationship with the United States has fractured over the past year. Admitted NSA leaker Edward Snowden, wanted on espionage charges in the U.S.,Nike Air Max, was granted temporary asylum in Moscow,Nike Sko, and Russian President Vladimir Putin has used Russia's veto on the United Nations Security Council to block action in Syria. Read: French president to skip Sochi Obama canceled a meeting with Putin that was scheduled for September, though the two met as part of a larger group of world leaders at the Group of 20 conference in St. Petersburg. Fueling the rift between the nations are new laws in Russia banning gay "propaganda" -- a law critics say is so vague that anyone can be prosecuted for wearing a rainbow T-shirt or holding hands in public with someone of the same sex. Obama told Jay Leno in August he had "no patience for countries that try to treat gays or lesbians or transgender persons in ways that intimidate them or are harmful to them," and during his visit to Russia earlier this year, Obama met with the leaders of Russian social activist groups.
add to favorites	Nike SkoManchester United ends skid at Villa, Live	Hardware - Hard disks
Villa Park proved to be just the tonic for Manchester United. United hadn't lost an English Premier League game at the home of Aston Villa since 1995 and the Red Devils maintained that impressive run by topping the Villains 3-0 on Sunday. White Hart Lane, meanwhile, hasn't been kind to Liverpool recently but the Reds thumped Tottenham 5-0 in the late kickoff thanks to another sterling performance from Luis Suarez. Liverpool climbed to second, two points behind Arsenal. Danny Welbeck's two early goals put United at ease and ensured the club wouldn't lose a third consecutive league match for the first time since 2001. With Arsenal losing 6-3 to Manchester City on Saturday, United made up ground, too, and now trails the Gunners by 10 points with the busy Christmas fixture list approaching. "It was a good job from us,Nike Shox," United manager David Moyes told Sky Sports. "The players did well and the only thing I would criticize is that we didn't score more goals. ",Nike Air Max;We were a bit sloppy in the first five minutes but after that played really well." But he added: "I think we'll play much better than that. I've told the players that's the least we can do and we've got to keep going and keep winning more games." With Robin van Persie injured, Welbeck earned the start and took advantage of his opportunity. United had joy down the right side and Welbeck was quick to pounce in the 15th minute after Adnan Januzaj hit the post with a header. It went from bad to worse for Paul Lambert's young side when Welbeck finished off the good work of winger Antonio Valencia. Villa has registered points from losing positions this season but Tom Cleverley's effort in the 52nd minute erased any hopes of a comeback. The assist came from Wayne Rooney, who was making his 500th appearance in club football. There was more good news for United as veteran midfielder Darren Fletcher made his first appearance of the season after battling back from colitis. ",Billige Air Max;Welcome back Mr Fletcher!" tweeted United defender Rio Ferdinand. "Well deserved after working so hard after being out." Liverpool had lost five straight in the league at White Hart Lane and was without injured captain Steven Gerrard and striker Daniel Sturridge. Yet even before Tottenham midfielder Paulinho was dismissed for a boot in the chest of Suarez early in the second half, the visitor controlled proceedings. Suarez -- filling in as captain -- scored twice to boost his league leading tally to 16 and had two assists. "It's no different being captain but Liverpool has only one captain and that is Stevie Gerrard," Suarez told Sky. "We played very well and this is more important than who the captain is. "We played very well. For confidence it is very good." Tottenham didn't register a single shot on target. "We could have had 11 man of the matches," Gerrard, working for Sky as an analyst, said. Suarez and Jordan Henderson handed Liverpool a 2-0 lead at the interval before Paulinho's red card in the 63rd minute. John Flanagan's first Premier League goal -- a half-volley stunner -- a Suarez chip and Raheem Sterling's low finish completed the rout. Boos rained down at the Lane at the final whistle. Only a few weeks ago Tottenham suffered another embarrassing defeat,Billige Nike Shox, 6-0 at Manchester City. "I assume the responsibility of the failure," said Tottenham manager Andre Villas-Boas. "We have to bounce back again like we did after City. "In the Premier League things aren't going as we expected so it's normal the frustration is there from everyone." Tottenham sits seventh, one spot ahead of United. In Sunday's other Premier League game, Norwich and Swansea drew 1-1. Nathan Dyer scored the opener for Swansea but was later stretchered off with a suspected fractured ankle,Nike Free Run. "We have to wait a couple of days for an X-ray and a scan, and we all cross our fingers to hope it is not that bad," said Swansea manager Michael Laudrup. "That will overshadow everything else."

Manchester United's defense of the English Premier League title was dealt another hammer blow Saturday as David Moyes' slumping side were beaten 1-0 by Newcastle United at Old Trafford. It was the second home defeat for United in three days and their fifth of a sorry campaign,Nike Air Max, as many as they suffered all last season in winning their record 20th English championship. Trailing leaders Arsenal by 12 points before the lunchtime kick off, United remained in ninth place while Newcastle, winning at Old Trafford for the first time in 41 years, moved up to sixth place ahead of the afternoon program. Read: Misery for Moyes after Old Trafford defeat to Everton Yohan Cabaye's goal just after the hour mark sealed three points for the visitors, the highly-rated Frenchman scoring after a cut back from Moussa Sissoko. Missing the suspended Wayne Rooney,Nike Shox, the home side created few opportunities although Patrice Evra hit the post with a header before the Newcastle breakthrough. Dutch striker Robin van Persie, back after injury, had a late effort ruled out for offside and substitute Wilfried Zaha shot narrowly wide, but Alan Pardew's battlers held out comfortably enough. Moyes,Nike Free, who took over from Alex Ferguson in the summer,Air Max, refused to accept that their title challenge was over at this stage of the season, but admitted his team were in a "transitional period." "I stand firm that we'll be very close to it and I hope we're in and around it when it comes to the end of the season," he told BT Sport.

"I think they understand it's the same players which were here last year as well. Obviously the manager's changed, so we'll work, we'll try and improve and try and get better." United did look to be turning the corner with a 12-match unbeaten run ahead of Wednesday's 1-0 defeat to Moyes' former club Everton. Rooney, so missed Saturday, starred in a 5-0 win over Bayer Leverkusen which took them into the last 16 of the Champions League, but their EPL form has been inconsistent.

Liverpool took advantage of the slip ups to go above Chelsea into second place on goal difference with a 4-1 home win over West Ham.

The Copa del Rey provided some respite for Barcelona after a double dose of defeats. The Catalan giants, who are without the talents of their mercurial striker Lionel Messi,Nike Shox, had fallen to consecutive defeats to Ajax, in the Champions League, and to Athletic Bilbao in La Liga. This time, Barcelona survived an early scare in Spain's domestic cup after Division 2B side Cartagena took the lead when Fernando found the back of the net. Pedro Rodriguez put the Spanish league leaders back on level terms in the first leg of the fourth round tie before half time. He doubled his tally after the break with Cesc Fabregas and Cameroon teenager Jean Marie Dongou wrapping up a 4-1 victory. It was Dongou's first senior goal for the club,Nike Free.

Juventus stretched their lead at the top of Serie A in the Italian league's only match Friday,Air Max. The defending champions remain unbeaten in the domestic series this season after ticking off a 2-0 away win in Bologna. Chilean midfielder Arturo Vidal followed up his Champions League hat-trick against FC Copenhagen with an opening goal for Juventus, volleying Federico Peluso's pass into the roof of the net. Bologna came close to an equaliser in the first half when Alessandro Diamanti had his shot from outside the box blocked by Gianluigi Buffon. The Italian keeper can feel pleased with his safe hands as Juventus have not conceded a goal in Serie A for seven matches. Juve had to wait until the dying minutes of the match to double their score which came when Giorgio Chiellini headed in Carlos Tevez's corner,Billig Nike Free. The victory was a nice tune-up ahead of their final Champions League match at Galatasaray next Tuesday. Antonio Conte's side may be six points clear at the top of Serie A but they still need a point against the Turkish champions to reach the last 16 of the elite European competition. The result in Bologna left the home side hovering near the foot of Serie A with only Sampdoria and Catania below them,Billie Nike Shox. In France,Nike Air Max, Marseille were leap-frogged by Nantes as the home side nicked a 1-0 victory thanks to a solo strike from American midfielder Alejandro Bedoya.

In his 11 years in charge at Goodison Park, David Moyes never witnessed an Everton victory at Old Trafford. At least now he can scratch that off his 'to do list',Nike Free. A 1-0 home defeat by his former employer courtesy of Bryan Oviedo's 86th minute strike means Manchester United is now 12 points adrift of league leader Arsenal after just 14 games of the season. "I'm very disappointed," United manager Moyes told Sky Sports following Wednesday's game. "We needed a bit of good fortune and we didn't get it. Everton kept at it and showed us what a good team they are,Nike Shox. "We didn't defend the goal well enough so it was our own doing. We had some chances as well, as did Everton. they have been playing well and that's why they are up near the top of the league. "It wasn't about me tonight, I was fortunate to manage Everton and I'm fortunate to be managing Manchester United. It's a big catch up for us now." Moyes was left frustrated after his side, which included former Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini,Nike Sverige, failed to fire. It was Everton's first success on the red half of Manchester since 1992 but it could scarcely have come at a better time for Roberto Martinez's side. When Moyes left Goodison to replace Alex Ferguson at the end of last season, much of the talk was how United would move forward. Instead, it is Everton which has moved on -- climbing to fifth in the table while playing a far more expansive brand of football. "It was a big battle today," Martinez told Sky Sports. "We were outstanding at playing Manchester United eye-to-eye. "It is fair to say we did expect United to have their chances,Air Max, but we were very confident with Tim Howard and our defenders. "As an away team,Billiga Nike Skor, you normally feel you will have only one or two chances maximum. But with our ambition, we created many, many chances. "If you look at the overall position we deserved all three points and that is an incredible statement." While Everton was busy pulling off a stunning win, Merseyside neighbor Liverpool was also in the midst of something special as Luis Suarez scored four times in his side's 5-1 mauling of Norwich. Suarez,Nike Free Run, who has now 11 goals against Norwich in four appearances, including three hat-tricks, took his career tally to 51 Premier League goals. Raheem Sterling rounded off the scoring to leave Liverpool in fourth -- seven points off the top. Elsewhere, Arsenal remains four points clear at the top of the table following a comfortable 2-0 home win over Hull City. Nicklas Bendtner gave the home side an early lead before Mesut Ozil sealed the win in the second half. Arsene Wenger's men sit above Chelsea which earned a 4-3 win at Sunderland. Eden Hazard scored twice and Frank Lampard was also on target in a seven-goal thriller,Nike Air Max. Manchester City remains in the hunt following a 3-2 win at West Bromwich Albion. City, which is currently third, survived a late fightback after sailing into a three-goal lead with Yaya Toure's double adding to Sergio Aguero's opener.

Barcelona and Real Madrid have been fined for breaking Spain's anti-competition laws when agreeing a television deal for their domestic league and cup soccer matches. The two clubs, along with Sevilla and Racing Santander, must pay almost €8.5 million ($11.5 million) between them,Nike Skor, while TV production company Mediapro has been fined €6.5 million ($8.8 million). They were found guilty by Spain's National Markets and Competition Commission (CNMC) of agreeing a TV rights deal of longer than the stipulated three years. In 2010, the clubs agreed four-year contracts with Mediapro. Real was fined €3.9 million ($5.28 million),Nike Air Max, Sevilla €900,Nike Free,000 ($1.21 million) and Santander €30,Nike Shox,000 ($40,624) -- all in line with the values of their respective contracts. La Liga champion Barca said Monday it intends to appeal its €3.6 million ($4.87 million) fine within the allowed two-month window,Billiga Air Max, but would pay despite it having "an economic impact" on this season's operations "subject to a favorable ruling on future courts involving the refund of payment made." "FC Barcelona's appeal is based on the consideration that the signing of the contract was consistent with the provisions of the General Law on Audiovisual Communication, and also that the contract of assignment of rights mentioned has not affected in practice the audiovisual market," its website reported. "The contract was signed by the previous Board, dated June 9, 2010,Billiga Nike Skor, four days before the presidential elections. That decision was challenged by some candidates." Sandro Rosell, Barca's current club president, took over from Joan Laporta -- whose reign lasted from 2003-10. Spanish clubs, unlike those in other top European leagues,Nike Sverige, do not have collective television agreements. Real and Barca hold 50% of the top division's TV income, with the other half shared among the other 18 clubs. It has helped the leading duo not only dominate the domestic competition, but also become two of the world's most wealthy clubs -- allowing Real to splash out $132 million on Gareth Bale in August while also tying star player Cristiano Ronaldo to a lucrative new long-term contract worth a reported $206 million. Barca's financial resources are not quite so deep, though have improved since accepting shirt sponsorship for the first time in 2010 with the Qatar Foundation -- a five-year deal reportedly worth up to $225 million. The club signed Brazil star Neymar for $75 million in May. The CNMC said in a statement explaining the ruling that the four clubs and Mediapro had committed "a very serious offense" by breaking its April 14, 2010 ruling on the acquisition of broadcasting rights for football competitions.

Read: The racer Hugo Chavez banked oil money on Maldonado's brief reign in Spain was the high point of his relationship with Williams, a partnership that showed signs of stress towards the end of the last campaign. At the penultimate United States Grand Prix,beats by dre wireless, the 28-year-old said: "Leaving is an important moment for my career." Before signing for Lotus, Maldonado was among of group of F1 protagonists without a drive at the end of the 2013 season, which reached its climax in Brazil last weekend. Force India duo Paul di Resta and Adrian Sutil, McLaren's Sergio Perez,beats by dre, Sauber pair Nico Hulkenberg and Esteban Gutierrez, Marussia's British driver Max Chilton and Caterham pairing Charles Pic and Giedo Van Der Garde are yet to settle their futures. Many drivers are now expected to fund their own drives in F1, a problem that has been exacerbated ahead of the new season. A major rule change looms large in 2014 and that means the 11 teams are having their resources stretched,monster beats, with the new turbo engines alone estimated to be three times more expensive than the ones being phased out. Grosjean has managed to avoid the fray of the driver market by securing a third straight season with Lotus. After an erratic 2012 season, which included a one-race ban for dangerous driving, the 27-year-old showed consistent improvement in 2013, racing to six podiums. His performances were enough to see Lotus take up the option to extend his contract. "I am very happy to have official confirmation that I will be continuing to drive for Lotus next season," said Grosjean, who, like Maldonado, became a father for the first time in 2013. "This past year has been tremendously satisfying for me. I know everyone is motivated to continue the fight for every last point available." Although Lotus won the opening race of 2013 in Australia, the final part of the season was overshadowed by speculation over the team's finances. Lead driver Raikkonen, who opted to have back surgery rather than race in the final two grands prix of the year, was reported to be owed $20 million in wages. The arrival of Maldonado is likely to help boost the team's coffers as he is expected to once again bring financial support to his new team. Lotus team principal Eric Boullier added: "It is clear that Pastor has pace and potential. We are convinced that we will be able to provide the correct environment to enable him to flourish regularly on track. "With Romain and Pastor I believe Lotus will be able to cause quite a few surprises next year."

It was in the cave of Hira that the prophet Muhammad received the first revelation of the Quran. For rugby's original wild child Sonny Bill Williams, meeting a Tunisian family who lived with their five children in a one-bedroom flat in the south of France proved pivotal to his conversion to Islam. The New Zealander's unshakeable belief in the Almighty has proved to be the making of one of the island nation's most gifted -- and controversial -- sports stars. "I was real close with them, and I saw how happy and content they were. And to see how they lived their lives,beats by dre solo, it was just simple,beats by dre wireless," Sonny Bill Williams, a prodigious rugby talent, professional boxer and tattooed poster boy,billiga beats by dr dre, tells CNN's Human to Hero series. "One thing I've learned over my career is that simplicity is the key. On the field,monster beats, off as well." "I've become a true Muslim," added Williams. "It's giving me happiness. It's made me become content as a man, and helped me to grow. I've just got faith in it and it has definitely helped me become the man I am today." The Williams of today does not visibly bear the scars of the 15-year-old who was thrust into the unrelenting drinking culture of one of Australia's top rugby league clubs and shamed by national media after being caught in a compromising position with a model. A man who quit that scene, walking out on his contract to take up a lucrative offer to switch codes and join a French rugby union club -- requiring a substantial compensation payout. A man who rejected a reported record $5 million deal to stay with Toulon and returned to Aotearoa -- "the land of the long white cloud" -- to follow his dream of playing for the prestigious All Blacks, but found himself a fringe figure for 2011's long-awaited World Cup triumph on home soil. He's been battered in a boxing ring, criticized for landing another big-money deal in Japan, and is now back in the sport where he's most at home. And still controversy follows him. World Cup mission This weekend Williams will continue his bid to become the first player to win the World Cup in both union and league, as the Kiwis take on Australia in the final. His mere presence in the squad caused a storm, as he only made himself available the day after it was named -- reversing his earlier decision. It meant one unlucky player had to make way. "I thought I was doing a good thing, you know, staying true to myself," says the 28-year-old, who had just completed a triumphant return to Australia's National Rugby League competition,beats by dre studio, winning his second title and subsequently deciding to extend what had initially been planned as a one-year stint with the Sydney Roosters club. "Then obviously there was a bit of a falling out, because one of the players was taken out of the squad, one of the young boys, and I just got absolutely hammered. "And it just made me think, you can't please everyone, you know? If you go about trying to please everyone, there's going to be endless struggles. "As long as you are happy with the man you see in the mirror, it's all that counts I guess." The battle within When Williams,beats by dre, who stands at 6 foot 4 inches and weighs in at 17 stone (108 kg), looks at himself in the mirror, it is surprising to hear him admit to vulnerability. "My toughest opponent is probably myself, I guess, mentally," Williams says in his quiet voice, a gentle contrast to his powerful physique. Stripped to his trunks in the boxing ring, you can see the rippling muscles and elaborate tattoos that have made him a pinup. "Overcoming the mental struggles that you have out on the field, it's been probably the biggest one for me. The reason I feel so mentally strong now is because of boxing and going through those tough times," he adds. "I've always had battles inside my head where I had to think where I was going to go."

He's only 26 years old but Sebastian Vettel has already achieved so much in Formula One with four world titles under his belt and now a record-equaling ninth straight victory at the Brazilian Grand Prix on Sunday. The win capped a momentous season for the German and more are on the way, according former world champion Jody Scheckter who says Michael Schumacher's record of seven world titles is well within his grasp. "I think it's hard to believe that he won't beat Michael's record,beats by dre solo," the 1979 world champion told CNN. "Four championships in a row is incredible. I can't see him not beating the record. I thought nobody would ever beat that record." The 63-year-old South African puffs out his cheeks when asked to name Vettel's best performance. "All of them! He seems to get out in front and stay there and pull away. It's incredible really. He's obviously magic,beats by dre wireless," says Scheckter before highlighting the technical nous required to be a champion. "It's very technical, more than other sports," he says. "You've got to understand all the complexities of the car ... then you're getting in that car, driving it fast, keeping it on the limit and not doing stupid things because that's quite easy to do." With so much to focus on, it's easy to see why Vettel and previously Schumacher might come across as being cold, methodical and big-headed, perhaps. But the characterization isn't necessarily fair,monster beats, Scheckter says. "Both Michael and Sebastian are concentrating on what it takes to win. Sometimes from the outside it looks arrogant. I see it in a different light to other people,beats by dre studio," Scheckter says. "The first thing is to win and the next thing is to be nice. Jackie Stewart could always be nice,billiga beats by dr dre, talk to everybody else and then (still go on to win). I was the complete opposite." Three-time world champion Stewart, who spoke to CNN on the eve of the Brazilian Grand Prix, thinks Vettel's personality shines through in a different way. "He's a very charismatic young man as far as I'm concerned just because of his skill," Stewart said. "He's very modest, he's only 26 years of age and he's the most mature 26-year-old driver I've ever seen. He's had a sensational season." Yet despite his achievements, Stewart hesitates to rank Vettel alongside all-time greats like Argentina's five-time champion Juan Manuel Fangio and Scot Jim Clark or more recent multiple champions Alain Prost or Niki Lauda. Not yet, anyway. "You've just got to wait and see what the future holds because he's got a car that's faster than anybody else's right now and a designer (Adrian Newey) that's probably the most brilliant in the history of motorsports. So he's had a huge advantage." the Scot said. Vettel,beats by dre, who also equaled Schumacher's record of 13 wins in a season with victory in Interlagos, will look to match his compatriot's run of five straight world titles next season. Scheckter, for one, envisages a closer constructors' championship in 2014 because of all the regulation changes, but he still can't look beyond Vettel and Red Bull. "I still wouldn't bet against them. I would have thought that some of the top teams would show up better going into the new situation and make it better. I've been surprised by Lotus. You never know."

The board of Jamaica's Anti-Doping Commission (JADCO) resigned after several of the Caribbean nation's sprinters were caught cheating earlier this year and a former head of the body highlighted a lack of testing. Jamaica's minister responsible for sport, Natalie Neita Headley, announced the news while also saying her country vowed to step up the fight against drug cheats. The resignations take effect at the end of 2013. "Quite recently, JADCO's commissioners met and acknowledged that there is a public perception of the existence of conflicts of interests among some of the members of the commission,Billie Nike Shox," Headley said in a statement posted on the website of the Office of the Prime Minister.

Three-time Olympic gold medalist Veronica Campbell-Brown tested positive, too, although she was cleared to return by officials in Jamaica who deemed she didn't intend to enhance performance through taking a banned diuretic.

Felipe Massa can be forgiven for feeling a little emotional ahead of this weekend's Brazilian Grand Prix. After notching up 11 wins in eight years for Ferrari, a longevity that makes him the famous Italian Formula One team's second-longest-serving driver, his last race for the Scuderia will be at the track he calls home. Few nations can deliver the passion for motorsport and race-day color that Brazil offers,Billige Nike Air Max, or match the country for its production-line output of star drivers such as Ayrton Senna, Emerson Fittipaldi, Rubens Barrichello and Nelson Piquet. But for the latest talent from those shores, there is good reason to be anxious throughout the festivities that will take place at the Sao Paulo-based Interlagos circuit. "We've always had great drivers in Brazil and many champions,Nike Free Run, I think racing is in our blood, and it's very special to be part of Brazil and to carry on fighting,Nike Shox," Massa told CNN's The Circuit. "But Brazil is getting less and less drivers, you know, so now I am the only Brazilian Formula One driver. "It's difficult to see other drivers that can replace me for the future. When I was racing in little categories -- Formula Renault,Nike Sko, Formula 3000 here in Europe -- in every category there was one Brazilian fighting for the championship, for victories. "And now you don't see it anymore. It is definitely a worry and is something that ... I think our organization, our federation, should do something to improve our school in Brazil." The 32-year-old,Nike Air Max, who has agreed a deal with Williams for the next three seasons after being replaced by Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari, believes Brazil needs to invest more on young talent and build on the strengths of its go-kart program. "Something's changed, especially in the school categories. We don't have another category after go-karts. Any way I can help ... I would do everything I can because Brazil is a very special country for motor racing,Nike Norge," Massa added. Read: 'Fernando Alonso's season? 8/10' Despite his fears for the future, Massa is passionate about the role Interlagos has played in his career. "Well, I love that track. I mean, I started there. On the other side of the wall there's the go-kart track, and this side of the wall is the normal racing track for the cars. I started when I was eight in go-karts, so I spent my life there and it's a fantastic track," he said. These fond memories persist despite Interlagos also being the location where Massa was narrowly beaten by McLaren's Lewis Hamilton to the drivers' world title in 2008, finishing just one point behind the Englishman despite his victory. "Even if I lost the championship there in the last corner, I won the race. I started in pole position, I did the quickest lap of the race, so everything was perfect," he said. "For sure I lost the championship ... but I also had a great race in Sao Paulo and I had also a great championship as well,Billige Nike Shox." Ferrari has not always been the easiest team to be a number two driver -- as Barrichello found out when he had to take a back seat to the ambitions of Michael Schumacher from 2000-05. Massa, likewise, has had second billing at Mugello since the 2010 arrival of double world champion Fernando Alonso. Team orders have often been enforced to the detriment of Massa's own goals, but he says there are no regrets over his time driving behind the "Prancing Horse" badge.

Fernando Alonso's reign as the undisputed No. 1 driver at Ferrari is over, according to Ferrari chairman Luca di Montemolo. The double world champion will be partnered at the Italian team in 2014 by Kimi Raikkonen, the Finn who won the last of Ferrari's 15 world championships in 2007. "I don't like No. 1, No. 2,beats by dre studio," Di Montezemolo told CNN ahead of this weekend's season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix. "No. 1 is the timing, No.1 and No.2 depends on the timing." Di Montezemolo praised Alonso's skill -- the Spaniard was the drivers' champion in 2005 and 2006 -- by giving the 32-year-old a "good eight out of 10",billiga beats by dr dre; mark for a 2013 season which has seen him struggle to keep pace with Red Bull's runaway world champion Sebastian Vettel,monster beats. Di Montezemolo hopes Raikkonen's arrival will spur Alonso on to greater things in 2014. Read: "Alonso's season? An eight out of 10" "Fernando is really a very, very good driver,beats by dre," said Di Montezemolo. "I'm very pleased to have him in the team. I am only frustrated that we haven't been in condition to give really a super car in the last seasons. "Alonso knows that he drives to win for himself, but also for Ferrari. Ferrari is a team and I want drivers (who) will drive and will act and react as a team member, not only one man. "I think that both of these drivers have good experience ... I think it's also in the interest of Alonso to have in the team a driver ready to battle his own competitors,beats by dre wireless, Alonso's competitors." Raikkonen has won 20 grands prix since making his F1 debut in 2001 and returns to Ferrari -- he drove for the Italian team between 2007 and 2009 -- as a replacement for Brazilian Felipe Massa, who is moving to Williams after eight years at the "Prancing Horse." Raikkonen has spent the last two years with Lotus, having left the sport in 2009 to pursue a career in rally driving. Di Montezemolo wanted to recruit a driver of Raikkonen's experience given the raft of new regulations set to shake up F1 in 2014. Read: Red Bull set new pit stop record "I need a driver able to win races or at least to take off points from our main competitors," said Di Montezemolo of the 34-year-old. "I think he will be in condition to do it. "For a car with completely new rules,beats by dre solo, in which you have to develop without the previous year's car, you need a driver with experience. "Don't forget that Kimi was the driver that won our last world championship." However, doubts have been cast over Ferrari's ability to manage two drivers who will have their eyes set on a title challenge. Alonso famously clashed with Lewis Hamilton while at McLaren, a rivalry which culminated in the Spaniard joining Renault in 2009 before signing with Ferrari in 2010. But Di Montezemolo has no concerns of a similarly personality clash this time around. "I don't want to say that they are old..." Di Montezemolo joked when asked if the two drivers will get along. "But I'm sure, yes."

As they seek solace from the ignominy of a ban from representing their country because of a drinking bout, six Australian rugby internationals might just have been served the perfect tonic - knowing that they are not part of the country's Olympic team. A day after a total of 15 players were disciplined for breaching 'internal team protocol', the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) issued guidelines about how its own athletes should behave at future Games after the consumption of alcohol. There is to be no 'swaying,Nike Free, staggering or falling down' while rambling or boisterous conversations,Nike Free Run, annoying team members and difficulty in paying attention to others are also outlawed. While drinking may be permitted outside the Olympic Village, team members have been left in no doubt as to the expectations now placed upon them. "These restrictions have been implemented to ensure that Australia's Olympic athletes are given the opportunity to compete to the best of their ability and with distinction," said a statement bearing the name of AOC President John Coates. The failure to comply with these directives, which include the non-consumption of any alcohol in the Olympic village, would likely lead to expulsion from the team camp. The first test for Australian athletes will come at the Winter Olympics in Sochi in February. The measures came after a 2012 Olympic Games where some Australian athletes were criticized for their drunken behavior at an Olympics where the nation collected its lowest medal haul in 20 years. The swimming team's drunken behavior was particularly frowned upon following an independent review, while a rower was detained by police for damaging shop windows after a drinking session. Last week, it was the turn of Australia's rugby players to hit the headlines for their drinking. Veteran international Adam Ashley Cooper was one of the six suspended, along with Nick Cummins, Liam Gill, Tatafu Polota-Nau, Benn Robinson and Paddy Ryan. While the latter will miss the match against Wales later this month, the remaining five will all miss this weekend's clash with Scotland. Yet the extent of the consumption of what coach Ewen McKenzie called "inappropriate levels of alcohol" went even further, with a further nine players warned as to their future conduct. "Let's be clear - these are internal sanctions and aren't a result of any complaints or reports of inappropriate or sinister behavior while our players were out,Billige Nike Shox," said the former international. "We've done this because we need to continually reinforce the need for our players to make smart decisions to benefit the team,Nike Norge. "The worst thing you could do for the Wallabies in the long term is nothing, because that would mean we would be ignoring poor culture and a significant performance issue." Despite the drinking spree, which took place early on Wednesday morning of last week,Nike Shox, Australia defeated Ireland 32-15 in Dublin three days later,Billige Nike Air Max, with Cummins among the try scorers. Several Australian rugby players have been involved in drinking incidents in recent times, including James O'Connor -- who lost his contract with the national team as a result -- and Kurtley Beale,Nike Sko, who has sought counseling for his problems.

Miami is one of the places we looked at, and we've looked at others too," the 38-year-old said. The former England international's groundbreaking contract signed with LA Galaxy in 2007 gave him the option to create a new MLS team for $25 million. "When I signed my contract six, seven years ago,Nike Skor, my manager Simon Fuller actually got a clause in the contract that enabled me to have a franchise at the end of my playing career and obviously now I've stopped playing," he said. Beckham and James appear undeterred by the city's previous foray into MLS which saw Miami Fusion close for business in 2002 after only four years in the league. Today, the MLS supports 19 teams with a 20th club -- New York City FC -- set to launch in 2015. James says research into the viability of a franchise is ongoing but he doesn't doubt Miami's potential. "I think this could be huge, but you never know. I think this is a great town for soccer. There's a lot of soccer players here and great youth soccer players here and people love the city as well so that will definitely help," he said. Beckham, as you would expect,Air Max, was typically enthusiastic when quizzed last month about soccer's long-term prospects in the U.S. "It's going to get better and bigger,Nike Free Run," said Beckham.
