The head of world athletics admits the sport faces "a crisis" over allegations of doping by Russian competitors.

Speaking to the BBC, Lamine Diack, president of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) says: "It's a difficult crisis but we will put it behind us by cleaning all this."

In December, a German TV documentary claimed Russian officials systematically accepted payment from athletes to supply banned substances and cover up tests.

In his first broadcast interview since the allegations were made public, Diack says he was "shocked" and "disturbed" when he first heard the claims.

But the 81-year-old Senegalese official insists allegations that 99% of Russian athletes are doping are "a joke" and "ridiculous".

SCA has indicated that it is pursuing further legal action against Lance Armstrong over his lying about his use of performance-enhancing drugs.

The company said: "SCA's dispute with Armstrong is not over. It has a currently pending lawsuit in Dallas state district court where it is pursuing additional claims against Lance Armstrong and Bill Stapleton (Armstrong's agent)."

Here's a statement from SCA Promotions following the legal decision against Lance Armstrong:

"Lance Armstrong was hit with a record-breaking $10m sanctions award by the arbitration panel hearing his dispute with Dallas-based SCA Promotions, Inc.

"According to the arbitrators' written ruling, the sanctions award punishes Armstrong for engaging in 'an unparalleled pageant of international perjury, fraud and conspiracy'.

"The 10 million-dollar award, which must be paid directly to SCA Promotions, is believed to be the largest award of sanctions assessed against an individual in American judicial history.

"The award was made public today when SCA Promotions filed a motion with a Dallas state district court to have the award confirmed into a judgement against Armstrong."

Former cyclist Lance Armstrong must pay a record $10m (£6.5m) in damages after losing a lawsuit with Dallas-based SCA Promotions Inc.

Armstrong has been sanctioned for lying about his use of performance-enhancing drugs following an arbitration panel hearing into his case with SCA.

The Dallas company was forced to pay Armstrong $7.5m in 2006 after an arbitration process over disputed payments relating to his seven Tour de France victories.

However, Armstrong has since admitted to doping in all seven of his Tour wins and was found to have lied in proceedings, leading to the payout.

Stoke City's Glenn Whelan says their performance in the 4-1 FA Cup fifth round exit at Blackburn was the worst he has seen in seven years at the club.

Mark Hughes' Potters have now conceded eight goals in their last two matches.

"To the fans I apologise because that's not the Stoke City that I know," said the 31-year-old midfielder.

"The players didn't want to be out there. You could see that after the first 10 minutes. That's the worst I've ever seen," he told BBC Radio Stoke.

Stephen:, external Sporting Failure Reasons? I give you ... the beachball.

Darren Bent's shot was deflected past Pepe Reina by a stray beachball to give Sunderland a 1-0 win over Liverpool in October 2009. One of today's Sportsday text commentators wrote the BBC Sport website report on that match. His reaction: "2009? Was it that long ago?" It was.

Gianluigi Buffon believes Serie A leaders Juventus only have themselves to blame for failing to win at Cesena on Sunday.

Arturo Vidal missed a late penalty in a 2-2 draw as Juve missed the chance to go nine points clear of second-placed Roma, who themselves drew 0-0 with bottom club Parma.

"After seeing Roma's result we had hoped for more," Juve captain and goalkeeper Buffon told Italian media. "We cannot go around throwing away opportunities like this one.

"The Roma result probably made us think this was going to be easy, but a team like ours cannot allow itself to be influenced by other games."

A High Court judge has ruled Tottenham Hotspur breached its duties to a 17-year-old player who suffered cardiac arrest in his first game for the club and was left brain damaged.

Radwan Hamed collapsed during the youth team game in Belgium in August 2006.

In a screening before he signed to the club, an ECG showed his heart to be "unequivocally abnormal" but he was not stopped from playing.

Damages, which could reach £7m, are to be decided next week.

Martelly Addict:, external Why has that last entry about United's grey shirts just got a pic of two Southampton players?

No, if you look to the left of Ken Monkou, you can see... Ah, hang on, we get you now. Very clever. *Doffs cap*

Neil Robertson hit three centuries on the way to beating James Cahill 4-0 in the first round of the Welsh Open.

Afterwards, he supported Ronnie O'Sullivan criticising the venue by comparing it to playing in a "shopping mall".

"I know what he means," says Robertson. "There is an awful lot going on.

"It's important to stay focused and get through to the later rounds when there are less tables."

Scotland outside-half Finn Russell has been cited for a dangerous tackle during Sunday's 23-26 Six Nations defeat against Wales at Murrayfield.

Paris St-Germain defender David Luiz is asked to compare his former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho with current boss Laurent Blanc.

Luiz will face the Blues when PSG play them on Tuesday and jokes: "Both are ugly."

He adds: "The project and plan for PSG is to be the best club in the world in the next few years."

Mickey, in London, via text: Has anybody mentioned lasagne yet? You're welcome, Spurs fans.

Tottenham missed out on a Champions League place in 2006 as 10 players fell ill with food poisoning shortly before a costly 2-1 defeat at West Ham. A lasagne got the blame initially, although it was cleared in subsequent investigations.

One of the first words David Luiz learned when he moved to Chelsea was 'geezer'. Last summer the Brazilian left Stamford Bridge to join Paris St-Germain for a reported £50m and he's been using a few more words talking about playing against the Blues on Tuesday.

Luiz will come face-to-face with his ex-Chelsea team-mates for the first time when PSG play the Blues in a Champions League first leg, last-16 tie on Tuesday.

"I hope, in this room, I am valued more than £50m," says Luiz. "I just need to show my football every day and show my job for the club."

"If I score against Chelsea I don't celebrate for respect, but I will be happy."

Football Association chairman Greg Dyke and England manager Roy Hodgson are on their way to Deepdale to watch Preston face Manchester United in tonight's FA Cup fifth-round tie - as proved in this photo tweeted by the FA.

British light-welterweight champion Willie Limond will defend his title against unbeaten Welshman Chris Jenkins in Leeds on 11 April.

The Glasgow fighter, 36, will face Jenkins, 26, on the undercard of featherweight Josh Warrington's world title eliminator against Dennis Tubieron.

Jenkins, who won a Prizefighter competition in July 2013, has won all 16 of his professional fights.

Limond won a British title for the first time in June last year with an emphatic victory over Curtis Woodhouse.

Leicester Tigers fly-half Owen Williams will miss the rest of the season after surgery on a knee ligament injury.

The 23-year-old former Wales Under-20 international was injured in the Anglo-Welsh Cup win at Cardiff on 6 February.

"It's massively disappointing because he has been outstanding for us," said director of rugby Richard Cockerill. "The full recovery period is usually about nine months."
