TORONTO - There was a win and loss Monday for both sides in the legal challenge of artificial turf at next years Womens World Cup.The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario, in an interim ruling, denied the players request that their request for an expedited hearing — which had previously been turned down — be reconsidered.But vice-chair Jo-Anne Pickel also rejected FIFAs argument that, under international law, it had not received effective legal notice of the proceedings. In so doing, the tribunal ruled that the legal challenge can proceed.The players allege that having the women play on artificial turf is discriminatory because the men play their showcase tournament on natural grass.FIFA argues that the laws of the game permit use of artificial turf as long as it meets standards and that the surface makes sense for the Canadian climate. And rather than discriminate against women, the world governing body of soccer has spent years working to grow the womens side of the game.After receiving the original case material and notice from the Ontario tribunal, FIFA argued that the procedure for delivery had not met relevant international treaties.Pickel disagreed.In the circumstances of this case, I find that FIFA has received effective legal notice of this proceeding, she wrote in Mondays 14-page decision. I also find that all documents so far delivered in this case have been properly delivered in accordance with the Tribunals rules and all applicable law.FIFAs effort to evade the jurisdiction of the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal has failed, said Hampton Dellinger, lawyer for the players.But with the tournament less than six months away, time is on the side of FIFA and the Canadian Soccer Assocoation, which doubles as the World Cups national organizing committee.The tribunal also has two more interim decisions to render.An earlier offer of mediation was rejected by the CSA.Earlier Monday, the players offered to meet FIFA Secretary-General Jerome Valcke in Brazil to discuss their differences.Lawyers for the players made the offer after Valcke said Friday he would only talk with the players in person. He had earlier rejected the offer of a conference call.The players accept your offer to meet with them and propose doing so in Brazil during the upcoming International Tournament of Brasilia, Dellinger wrote in a letter Monday to Valcke. Please let me know the date and time you would like to meet with Abby Wambach, Marta Vieira da Silva, and others who can serve as designated negotiators for the players.Wambach and Marta are with their U.S. and Brazilian teams in Brazil for a tournament.Valcke had promised an open dialogue at Saturdays tournament draw in Gatineau, Que. But Canadian captain Christine Sinclair was the only player there.At Fridays pre-draw news conference in Ottawa, Valcke was asked why he had turned down the conference call given the open dialogue comment in an Oct. 29 fifa.com article.He said he would talk to players in person, but not lawyers.I am ready to discuss with all the players, with all the technical teams, with all the coaches. But face to face, said Valcke. And thats what Im ready to do ... Im ready to travel to wherever I have to travel to do that.It took the players lawyers three days to take him up on it.An email to FIFA for reaction did not produce an immediate response.The 2015 Womens World Cup is scheduled for June 6 to July 5 in Moncton, Montreal, Ottawa, Winnipeg, Edmonton and Vancouver.---Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter J.

The native of Mont-Tremblant, Que., captured a World Cup downhill event Saturday, his second this year and fifth career victory on the circuit. Pedro Martinez Jersey . Here are some of the best from Week One and some to watch in Week Two: TOP PERFORMERS Anthony Allen, RB, Saskatchewan (176 YDS, 2 TD, 30 touches vs. Hamilton) - Powerfully-built back burst onto the scene in his CFL debut, after a couple of years in the NFL, playing 21 games with the Baltimore Ravens. Roger Clemens Jersey .com) - Driphus Jackson had three touchdown passes, including two in a 19-second span in the opening quarter, to guide Rice to a 30-6 rout of Fresno State at the Hawaii Bowl.PHOENIX - Rob Gronkowskis ankle is fine. So are his forearm and knee. Hes way past those injuries that ruined his last three postseasons.You cant even hurt his feelings.So when Seattle nickel back Jeremy Lane says I actually dont think hes that good, the best tight end in the NFL says, simply, Everyones entitled to their own opinion.Of course, the 265-pound Gronkowski can change that opinion when the Patriots face the Seahawks and the 190-pound Lane in the Super Bowl on Sunday. Healthy again, he should be a handful.Ready to roll, he said Tuesday.Gronkowski missed the AFC championship games the past two years with a broken left forearm in 2013 and a torn ACL and MCL in his right knee in 2014. In the Super Bowl in 2012, he was limited by a high left ankle sprain. New England lost all three.The fun-loving but hard-working Gronkowski was back on a Super Bowl Media Day platform on Tuesday. His laugh and smile were present, just as they were three years ago. The questions were different.It feels good to be 100 per cent healthy, he said, and not get a million questions like last time about my ankle.Even when he got them, his sense of humour kicked in.Asked before the 2012 game how he was feeling, Gronkowski said with a grin, Good. How are you feeling?When another ankle question came up Tuesday, even though that body part hasnt sidelined him this season, he said, Its very good. Thanks for worrying about my ankle.Thats Gronkowski. He keeps a light touch whether hes healthy or hobbling. His upbeat character rubs off on teammates.The young man has had to deal with so much early on in his career and he has a great, great attitude and a great heart. Hes got a unique joy about him, Patriots special teams star Matthew Slater said. Even in the midst of that adversity, he was staying positive. He was focused on getting back on the field.Gronkowski rehabbed obsessively, played in the opener and gradually made a greater impact. He caught just 13 passes, although three were for touchdowns, in the first four games. But in each of the next fiive, he had at least five catches with 100 or more yards receiving in three of them.dddddddddddd He knocks down defenders and keeps on running.Totally back to my old self, said Gronkowski, who holds NFL single-season records for most touchdowns and yards receiving by a tight end. Going into that Cincinnati game (six catches for 100 yards) in Week 5, everything just kicked in and I felt good, he said.He has a touchdown catch in each of his two playoff games.But now he must face the NFLs best defence. Seattle allowed the fewest points, yards and yards passing.Depending on where he lines up — wide, in the slot or right next to the tackle — Gronkowski will be covered by different defenders. On some plays, it will be 232-pound safety Kam Chancellor. On others it could be linebackers K.J. Wright or Bobby Wagner. And when the Seahawks play a zone defence, cornerbacks Richard Sherman and Byron Maxwell may get a crack at him.No matter who covers him, Gronkowski wont back down.He recalled that in high school when someone would deliver a big hit, he and his teammates would go crazy.Hes taking that same passion for physical play into the most important game Sunday.It gets you amped up, Gronkowski said. Thats whats so special about (football) is how hard you can go and just take whatever you have built up and just go full speed at someone and level them. And someone can do that to you, so youve got to be ready at all times.No wonder wide receiver Julian Edelman calls him just a big goofball who has fun playing football.Or why team owner Robert Kraft said Tuesday, In our next life, a lot of people might want to be Rob. He never has a bad day.Now, for the first time in four years, he has a healthy shot at having a good day in the final game of the Patriots season.Its definitely a tough experience being hurt for big games, Gronkowski said. Definitely dont take the game for granted anymore. Its an honour to be out there on the field with my teammates.___Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP_NFL ' ' ' |
