podium not long after winning her first major title -- when she beat the
world-record holder in the process -- and watched reporters fire questions about
doping at the woman on her right.It was perhaps a hard introduction for the
22-year-old Kenyan and former junior champion, but welcome to track and field in
2016.Sitting to the right of her, Genzebe Dibaba of Ethiopia, the reigning world
champion and record holder, promised reporters she was crystal clean, a
commitment she was asked to make after her coach was arrested in Spain and held
for three days in June on suspicion of supplying banned substances.The coach,
Jama Aden, was released but remains under investigation and cannot leave Spain.
Suspicion has moved over to athletes under his control.The rumors roaming around
the world are deeply affecting me, said Dibaba, who won silver behind Kipyegon.
I have communication with Jama. Its solely, purely and solely, training and
execution and competition. And this [the rumors] adversely affected my
performance, my psychology. Im completely and crystal clean from
doping.Suspicion is reasonable in this middle-distance event after six of the
top eight finishers in the 2012 Olympic final in London -- including gold
medalist Asli Alptekin and silver medalist Gamze Bulut -- either were
disqualified or are facing allegations of using performance-enhancing
substances. Some were caught years later.What will be said and written about
this Rio de Janeiro race in years to come?Dibaba had been tested four, five, six
times in the buildup to the Rio Olympics, she said, speaking through an
interpreter.As for Aden, Dibaba said he is only under investigation and she had
received no further information on his case from Spanish police. She would stand
by her coach if he was cleared.Kipyegon, aware her country is under heavy
scrutiny amid doping allegations, said she and Kenya were going by doping
control rules.And Rio bronze medalist Jennifer Simpson, the first American woman
to win an Olympic medal in the 1,500-meter event, was asked how she would react
if her coach, or part of her close team, was investigated for doping.To me,
personally, its important who I surround myself with in my life, Simpson said.
And who I surround myself with are people Im proud to be affiliated with. And
thats important for anyone. Who you are connected to says something.

game. Kyle Palmieri scored two straight goals in the third period to rally the
Anaheim Ducks past the Philadelphia Flyers 3-2 on Tuesday night. OTTAWA, Ontario
-- Guy Boucher trusted his instincts when selecting skaters for the shootout and
it paid off for the Ottawa Senators.The Senators head coach opted to go with
defenseman Erik Karlsson and the captain scored the game winner to give Ottawa a
4-3 victory over the Montreal Canadiens on Saturday night to open the season
with back-to-back wins.Sometimes its just small things and you follow a gut
feeling, Boucher said. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesnt. Sometimes you
look like a genius and sometimes you look like an idiot, this time I look like a
genius.Despite some struggles through its first two games Ottawa is finding ways
to win. The Senators had a great start on Saturday, struggled midway, but came
back strong and feel they can build off the effort.I think it was a well-played
game by both teams, Karlsson said. We did what we had to do even though they
scored two in the third. It didnt set us back. We kept going and stuck to our
game plan and we didnt let ourselves stray away from what we felt we had to do
to have a chance to win this game.Tom Pyatt, Ryan Dzingel and Zack Smith scored
for the Senators (2-0-0) in regulation and Craig Anderson had 21 saves.Jeff
Petry scored twice and Artturi Lehkonen got his first NHL goal for the
Canadiens. Al Montoya stopped 35 shots.Canadiens coach Michel Therrien was
pleased with the overall effort, but falling behind early made things
difficult.Our execution wasnt there at the start of the game, said Therrien. We
made some adjustments in the second and it seemed to pay off.Pyatt tied the
score 3-3 off a great pass from Dzingel to beat Montoya stick side with 2:33
remaining in the third period.Dzingel was impressive all night and was rewarded
forr his efforts, getting ice time in the overtime session.ddddddddddddI think
Im getting a little bit more confident and coach is playing me in bigger
situations so just trying to grow my confidence and keep playing the way I do,
Dzingel said. Im bringing pace and speed and thats all Im worrying about.Dzingel
and Smith scored in the first period to put the Senators up 2-0 as they outshot
the Canadiens 13-6 and had some solid work on the penalty kill.Dzingel opened
the scoring at the 6-minute mark with a great personal effort as he picked up
his own rebound and beat Montoya short side. Dennis Widemans point shot
deflected in off Smiths skate with 4:10 left in the period.Petrys power-play
goal with about 4 1/2 minutes left in the second got the Canadiens on the
scoreboard. Lehkonen tied it at 2:50 of the third, grabbing a loose puck and
sliding it through Andersons legs.Ottawa couldnt capitalize on a two-man
advantage for 1:49 as they failed to create any real scoring chances and the
game stayed tied.That 5-on-3 kill gave us a lot of strength, Lehkonen said. We
found a way in the third period to bounce back and really fight for the
win.Petrys second then put Montreal at the 9-minute mark as his shot from inside
the blue line beat a screened Anderson.Game notes D Thomas Chabot and LW Matt
Puempel were healthy scratches for the Senators for the second straight game.
... Montreal D Zach Redmond, D Mikhail Sergachev and C Brian Flynn were all a
healthy scratch.UP NEXTCanadiens: Host defending champion Pittsburh in their
