COLUMBIA, Mo. -- Missouri athletic officials announce updated plans Friday for a two-year, $100 million renovation project of Memorial Stadiums south end zone facilities.The kids that we are recruiting are probably going to go take a visit at another conference school, and you never want to be in a position where you dont have an opportunity to recruit a kid because of something like a facility, athletic director Jim Sterk Odom said. Obviously, this is going to give our student athletes the best chance to be successful.Missouri has struggled the past two seasons, winning just two Southeastern Conference games after winning back-to-back division championships in 2013 and 2014. In spite of this, Sterk is optimistic about fundraising efforts.The support weve had so far has been outstanding, Sterk said. Its very encouraging, but we are still working hard. We have had some promising conversations with potential contributors, and we hope to continue making those exciting gift announcements going forward.In recent months, Missouri has received six private donations in the seven-figure range, three of which came anonymously.Initial plans allocated $75 million to restore and update the existing structure in the south end zone. However, Sterk indicated Friday that the project estimate is now nearing the $100 million mark, and that architectural consultants have advised the department to demolish the current structure to make way for a new one.Sterk said that donors close to the project were also largely in favor of an entirely new facility.Football coach Barry Odom stressed the significance of such a project in regards to the programs level of commitment to its student athletes.Its exciting for them to see, Odom said. They know the product theyre going to get with the coaching side of it, with the academic side of it, and now, enhancing and always knowing that were pushing to give them the best, thats a huge advantage for our program.Among the updates discussed were additional premium seating, team offices, equipment and training facilities, and multiple private club areas for designated ticket holders.Sterk said finalized budget plans will be presented to the schools Board of Curators in February for final approval.Many details are still unclear, including the architect and the project manager, maximum seating capacity after completion, and a firm deadline for completion, though Sterk said a tentative goal is prior to the start of the 2019 season.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 Air Max Cheap .C. -- Calgarys Kevin Koe did it the hard way again.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- Top officials of the IOC and other sporting bodies would be banned from being members of anti-doping agencies under new proposals for tackling drugs in sports.Leaders of 17 anti-doping organizations met in Copenhagen this week to consider ways of fixing a global anti-doping effort that has been deeply damaged and to ensure that the disturbing events of recent years are not repeated.Among the groups aims was to remove the fundamental conflict of interest that exists when anti-doping decisions are controlled by sports organizations -- a shot at the current ties between the World Anti-Doping Agency and International Olympic Committee.The president of WADA is Craig Reedie, a senior IOC member from Britain whose dual role has come under scrutiny during the scandal over state-sponsored doping in Russia. Reedie served as an IOC vice president and member of the policy-making executive board until his term expired during the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. He is now a regular IOC memberThe Copenhagen summit proposed a rule that would forbid officers, directors, employees and all decision-makers of anti-doping bodies from also holding a top position in any international federation or major event organization.The Institute of National Anti-Doping Organizations said the proposal would prevent the inherent conflict of interest that exists when a sports organization is tasked with both promoting and policing itself.The IOC set up WADA in 2009 and provides 50 percent of the agencys funding, with national governments covering the other half.IOC President Thomas Bach has proposed making the anti-doping system independent from sports organizations and called for the creation of an independent agency to carry out global drug testing. The IOC has scheduled a meeting for Oct. 8 to consider ways of improving the international system.The exposure of widespread doping in Russia has led to a crisis in confidence in the entire global anti-doping fight. IOC members blamed WADA for not acting early enough to deal with evidence of Russian ddoping, while the IOC was accused of being soft on Russia by not banning the country entirely from the Rio Games.ddddddddddddThe anti-doping leaders meeting in Denmark represented countries that included the United States, Australia, Canada, France, Germany and Britain.They said WADA should be strengthened and given the independence and authority to impose sanctions for large-scale subversions of the anti-doping system, such as the state-backed system in Russia. WADA currently has had no power to impose sanctions against a sport or a country, leaving that to the IOC and other bodies.WADA must have authority and capacity to investigate and to impose proportional sanctions and consequences for all instances of code non-compliance, the officials in Copenhagen said in their final statement.They also expressed unequivocal support for the completion of the investigation into Russian doping by Canadian lawyer Richard McLaren. His report detailed manipulation of drug samples at the 2014 Sochi Winter Games, as well as cover-ups of doping tests across dozens of summer and winter sports.The leaders called for increased protection and support for whistleblowers, including Yulia Stepanova and her husband, Vitaly, who helped expose the doping culture in their homeland.All relevant organizations should do everything in their power to protect and ensure safety, security and sustainable future for Yulia and Vitaly and the other whistleblowers, the statement said.The IOC rejected Stepanovas bid to compete in the Rio Games after the IAAF recommended the 800-meter runner be allowed to participate as a neutral athlete.Stepanova and her husband have been living in the United States. She said recently that she fears for her safety and has switched residences after hackers breached a WADA database that records her whereabouts.Bach said in Rio that the IOC was not responsible for dangers to which Mrs. Stepanova may be exposed.
