AIGLE, Switzerland -- The World Anti-Doping Agency and cyclings governing body announced Wednesday that they are in possession of samples of blood and plasma bags seized and stored as part of the Operation Puerto case.The UCI and the World Anti-Doping Agency said in a joint statement that the samples have been stored in an accredited laboratory outside of Spain.They said they will continue their joint investigation into Operation Puerto, and will consider all possible legal options.Last month, a Spanish court ruled that more than 200 blood bags in the decade-old case should be handed over to sports authorities for investigation. Spanish officials said, however, that no retroactive punitive sanctions could be pursued against any athletes because the statute of limitations has expired.In its ruling last month, the Madrid Provincial Court said the bags containing blood samples and plasma should be given to the Spanish Cycling Federation, WADA, the UCI, and Italys Olympic Committee.The move came 10 years after police seized 211 coded blood bags from the Madrid clinic of sports doctor Eufemiano Fuentes, revealing a doping network involving some of the worlds top cyclists.The courts decision backed an appeal by lawyers for prosecuting parties against a 2013 court ruling that the bags should be destroyed for privacy reasons.The 2013 order to destroy the blood bags outraged the sports community. Spains anti-doping agency, the International Cycling Union and the World Anti-Doping Agency were among the entities that appealed.More than 50 cyclists were originally linked to the case. Among those eventually suspended were former Tour de France winner Jan Ullrich, Spanish Vuelta champion Alejandro Valverde and Ivan Basso, who later confirmed that his blood was among the frozen samples found.Fuentes said during the 2013 trial that he also worked with athletes from other sports, but the judge back then said he didnt have to name anyone who was not implicated in the cycling case.Speculation has been rife that the release of the bags, which have been stored at a lab in Barcelona, could stir up another scandal if identities of new athletes are revealed.An eight-year WADA statute was in place in 2006 when the scandal first broke, and the period was recently extended to 10 years.

Marquez Valdes-Scantling Super Bowl Jersey . -- An ugly goal by Nick Bonino helped the Anaheim Ducks overcome the defensive-minded Phoenix Coyotes on a night when their ragged power play continued to struggle. Sydney FC coach Graham Arnold claims some A-League sides are in awe of his team but says Saturdays opposition Melbourne Victory arent one of them.The Sky Blues will host fierce rivals Victory full of confidence after catapulting themselves to the top of the A-League ladder with four wins from as many games.Its a club record start that Arnold believes has struck fear in opposing outfits.Im definitely seeing 1-2 teams so far have been in awe of us, Arnold said on Thursday.Newcastle played a back five last week which showed us straightaway that theres a great amount of respect for us and they were in fear of us.I think thats the type of aura were getting at the moment. The players are walking with a swagger. Theyre very confident and were very confident in what theyre doing.However the third-year Sydney FC manager shied away from inciting Victory coach Kevin Muscat and instead praised their form so far this season.Third-placed Victory have strung together back-to-back wins since being embarrassed by neighbourhood rivals Melbourne City, including a 66-1 pummelling of Wellington Phoenix on Monday night.ddddddddddddsked if he thought Victory would fear his team, Arnold said: No, I dont think Melbourne will. Kevin Muscat has been doing and has done a fantastic job at Melbourne.I know theyre going to come up and be full of aggression, full of passion. Theyve got some very good players, but so have we. We have to match that aggression.And if he thought Victory had any weak points for him to target, Arnold refused to divulge any.Its about the performance on the day. Kevin is a fantastic coach and motivates his team very well and gets them ready. For us its about being better than them, he said.With a full squad at his disposal, Arnold added attackers Bernie Ibini and George Blackwood to an extended squad on Thursday.However the only change he is likely to make is the re-insertion of veteran David Carney on the left flank and return of captain Alex Brosque to the bench.
