The Baylor Bears have suspended wide receiver Ishmael Zamora for three games after a video emerged of the wide receiver whipping and kicking his dog.Our football program does not condone this behavior by anyone, Baylor coach Jim Grobe said in a statement. We are deeply saddened by it and have worked together with the University to hold Ishmael accountable for his actions.Zamora had been charged with a Class C misdemeanor after a Snapchat video, obtained and released Aug. 19 by KXXV News Channel 25 in Waco, Texas, showed Zamora hitting his dog eight times with a belt and kicking it. The incident occurred in June.In addition to the misdemeanor citation and fine he already received, Baylor announced Zamora must perform 40 hours of community service in a manner that will teach him kindness and respect toward animals.He must also undergo counseling and relinquish his dog to an animal-friendly home. He sent the dog to live with relatives in Houston after the incident.I am sorry that I took out my frustration on my dog and accept the punishment that comes with it, Zamora said in a statement. This incident will never, ever happen again. I truly love my dog, however, I know that my actions showed differently and I know that I made a big mistake. I apologize to my family, teammates, Baylor University and our fans for my actions.Eventually, I hope that everyone can see who I really am and that I am not a terrible person. This incident does not and will not define me, and I know that I am the one who will have to prove that to others in the days ahead.Grobe said he heard from many passionate individuals over the past 10 days and understood their concerns. He said his goal for Zamoras discipline is to be educational and restorative in the hopes Zamora will learn from his actions.Ingrid Newkirk, president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, issued a statement last week suggesting Zamora receive anger management training and work with the animal rights organization or a local animal shelter to do something that will never fully make amends but will at least help other dogs who have been abused.An online petition demanding Zamora be kicked off the team drew more than 170,000 supporters.The sophomore was listed as a starter on Baylors depth chart, which was released Monday. Zamora caught nine passes for 132 yards and two touchdowns last season.Hell miss three nonconference games and return for Baylors Big 12 opener against Oklahoma State on Sept. 24. Zamora will continue to practice with the team during his suspension if he meets the provisions of his sanctions.Ishmaels behavior toward his dog is disheartening, and is not condoned, Baylor athletic director Mack Rhoades said in a statement. We believe with proper counseling and training Ishmael can learn from this and I expect that of him. Ive conveyed to him my expectation that his actions and his service will illustrate his commitment to change. Chris Tierney Senators Jersey .

Only an accident or other freak mishap on Sundays largely ceremonial final ride to Paris could stop Froome from winning the 100th Tour. Froome finished third in a dramatic Stage 20 to the ski station of Annecy-Semnoz in the Alps that decided the other podium placings. Nairo Quintana from Colombia won the stage and moved up to second overall. Joaquim Rodriguez from Spain rode in 17 seconds behind Quintana. He moved up to third overall. Froomes lead is more than five minutes over both those two. Alberto Contador, who had been second at the start of the day, struggled on the final climb and dropped off the podium. The 125-kilometre trek was the last of four successive stages in the Alps and the final significant obstacle Froome needed to overcome before Sundays usually relaxed ride to the finish on the Champs-Elysees in Paris. That 133-kilometre jaunt starts in Versailles. Froomes dominance at this Tour was such that this victory could very well be the first of several. At 28, he is entering peak years for a bike racer. He proved at this Tour that he excels both in climbs and time trials -- skills essential for those who want to win cyclings premier race. He also handled with poise and aplomb questions about doping in cycling and suspicions about the strength of his own performances. He insisted that he raced clean. Froome first took the race lead and the yellow jersey that goes with it on Stage 8, when he won the climb to the Ax-3 Domaines ski station in the Pyrenees. On Sundays Stage 21, he will wear the yellow jersey for the 13th straight day. Froome told French television that when he passed the sign showing 2 kilometres to go on Saturdays final climb, "for the first time I realized that it was almost won." "It was hard today," he said. "Rodriguez and Quintana raced very strongly." Sunday "will be a day for sprinters on the Champs-Elysees. For us, it is done." Saturdays stage did a big loop south of Annecy, through the mountains of Savoie between the lakes of Annecy and Bourget. This is cheese-making country, with lush Alpine pastures and dense, naturally cool forests. Quinntanas win also secured him the spotted jersey awarded to riders who pick up the most points on mountain climbs.dddddddddddd He also retained the white jersey as the Tours best young rider. He wiped away tears in his news conference as stage winner. "I couldnt ask for more," he said. "I got nearly everything. It was fabulous." "Its a very special day in Colombia. A big party and the whole of Colombia is celebrating." Unlike on Friday, when storms drenched the pack, the sun shone and the skies were blue on Sataurday. When a motorbike-borne television camera focused on Spanish rider Alejandro Valverde, he motioned that riding in such conditions was hot, tiring work. The ride took the racers up six climbs. The last two of those were particularly tough. The last steep climb to Annecy-Semnoz, past ski lifts and ski slopes, was rated HC or "Hors Categorie", meaning its considered too hard to classify. It was the last really tough climb of this Tour. The riders have just two small humps to climb on their leisurely Sunday ride from the Versailles Palace to the Champs-Elysees cobbles, where sprinters including Mark Cavendish will battle for the stage win. Uniquely for the 100th Tour, Stage 21 will set off in the late afternoon, so the race finishes more or less as the sun is setting behind the Arc de Triomphe. For a chunk of Saturday, the race was led by its oldest rider, Jens Voigt. The 41-year-old German was part of a group of 10 riders that broke away fromn the pack early in the stage. "Since Im almost sure that this was my last Tour, I wanted to say a proper goodbye," said Voigt. "I gave eveything," he said. "Im happy and now it is over for me." He was caught in the battle on the final climb. Quintana, Froome and Rodriguez rode off, leaving Contador to labour behind. The winner of 2007 and 09 who was stripped of his 2010 victory and banned for a failed doping test ran out of legs. Contador placed 7th in the stage, coming in more than 2 minutes behind Quintana. That dropped him to 4th overall, more than seven minutes back from Froome. Canadas Ryder Hesjedal is 69th overall after finishing the stage in 85th. David Veilleux of Cap-Rouge, Que., is 122nd overall while Svein Tuft of Langley, B.C., is last at 170th. ' ' '
