Cycling • French anti-doping boss to work with probe: The head of France’s anti-doping agency is ready to collaborate fully with a U.S. federal investigation into seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong. Pierre Bordry said Thursday he will hand over Armstrong’s “B” samples from the 1999 Tour to Jeff Novitzky if the Food and Drug Administration agent makes an official request. French sports daily L’Equipe reported in 2005 that Armstrong’s backup samples from 1999 contained EPO — a banned blood-boosting hormone. Armstrong was cleared by an independent panel. • Cavendish wins stage: Mark Cavendish won a hard-fought sprint finish Thursday to take the 18th stage of the Spanish Vuelta, while Vincenzo Nibali retained the overall lead. The British rider finished the 92.5-mile ride from Valladolid to Salamanca in 3 hours, 27 minutes, 11 seconds. Juan Jose Haedo of Argentina was one second behind in second place, and Manuel Cardoso of Portugal was third with the same time. Nibali leads overall by 38 seconds over Ezequiel Mosquera, with a total time of 74 hours, 47 minutes, 6 seconds. Friday’s stage is 143.7 miles from Piedrahita to Toledo, with the 21-stage race finishing Sunday.
Boxing • Mayweather face more felony charges: Undefeated boxer Floyd Mayweather Jr. was hit Thursday with three more felony charges in a domestic violence case that already had him facing a theft charge. Clark County (Nev.) District Attorney David Roger significantly raised the ante in the case, alleging that Mayweather hit and threatened the life of his ex-girlfriend, Josie Harris, and threatened to beat two of their children during a pre-dawn argument at the woman’s home a week ago. Mayweather, 33, is one of boxing’s most recognizable figures, with a record of 41-0 and 25 knockouts. The welterweight goes by the nickname “Money” and earned more than $20 million in May in one fight in Las Vegas against “Sugar” Shane Mosley. Mayweather remained free on $3,000 bail pending arraignment Nov. 9 following his arrest last Friday on a felony grand larceny charge.
Tennis • Nadal to end year at No. 1: Rafael Nadal has clinched the year-end No. 1 ranking for the second time in three years. The 24-year-old Spaniard, who won the French Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open in 2010, also finished at the top of the ATP rankings in 2008. “It has been an incredible season — one of my best ever, if not the best,” Nadal said Thursday in a statement. “I worked very hard to get back to the top and it feels really good to know I will end the year as No. 1.” Nadal leads the rankings with 12,025 points, almost 5,000 more than second-ranked Novak Djokovic, who has 7,145. Roger Federer is third with 6,735. Nadal has won nine major titles in his career and is one of seven men to complete a career Grand Slam. He leads the ATP tour with six titles this year and has a record of 59-7. Since April, he has won 43 of his 46 matches.
Football • Chargers WR Jackson can play in Week 5 if traded: The NFL and the players union have agreed that San Diego Chargers holdout wide receiver Vincent Jackson can play in Week 5 if he’s traded by next Wednesday. The agreement helps clear the way for Jackson to be traded, provided the Chargers can agree to terms with another team. The agreement essentially rolls what could have been a six-game suspension into four games. Jackson currently is serving a three-game NFL suspension for violating the league’s substance abuse policy. Additionally, the Chargers placed him on the roster exempt list, meaning he’d be suspended for three games once he signed with San Diego. Jackson’s side felt he shouldn’t have to serve that suspension if he was traded.
Basketball • Storm hold off Dream 87-84 to win 2nd WNBA title: The Seattle Storm are champions again. Seattle completed its undefeated march through the postseason, beating the Atlanta Dream 87-84 on Thursday night for a three-game sweep in the WNBA finals. The Storm won each of its seven postseason games for its second WNBA title. The Storm also won the 2004 championship. Swin Cash scored 18 points to lead a balanced offense as Seattle overcame 35 points by Atlanta’s Angel McCoughtry. Lauren Jackson, who had 26 points in each of the Storm’s first two wins in the series, had 15 points and nine rebounds and was selected MVP of the finals.
Golf • South African leads Austrian Open: George Coetzee of South Africa took advantage of ideal conditions to shoot 7-under 65 on Thursday and take a one stroke lead in the Austrian Open. Playing early in the morning before gusting winds made conditions tougher at Diamond Country Club, Coetzee made eight birdies and only one bogey to bolster his hopes of retaining his European Tour card. Jose Manuel Lara, of Spain, is second after a 66. — From wire reports
