No banned substances were detected among the 300 doping controls carried out during Euro 2008, the director of the Vienna/Seibersdorf laboratory Gunter Gmeiner confirmed on Tuesday.
What was special about this Euro was the high level of controls carried out, Gmeiner told a press conference here.
Tests were carried out by both the Vienna/Seibersdorf laboratory and a laboratory in Lausanne, which was also accredited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
Ten players from each of the 16 teams were controlled during the early rounds and then two per team for the final phase of competition from June 7-29.
And for the first time samples of both blood and urine were taken and controls included an automatic test for the blood booster erythropoietin (EPO).
Bukayo Saka rejected comparisons between his form at the 2022 World Cup and Kylian Mbappe s breakout campaign four years ago ahead of England s meeting with France.
Saka scored his third World Cup goal as England overcame a nervous start to beat Senegal 3-0 in Sunday s last-16 tie, setting up a heavyweight quarter-final clash with Les Bleus.
Having started three of England s four games in Qatar from the right, Saka may be expected to help contain Mbappe next time out, which promises to be a difficult task after the Paris Saint-Germain star moved onto five goals for the tournament in his side s 3-1 win over Poland.
Mbappe joined Pele as just the second teenager to score in a World Cup final in 2018, and Saka does not wish to compare his own debut campaign with tha…
The Las Vegas Raiders take a perfect 3-0 record back to their old stomping grounds in California when they battle the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football.
Before the season starter, this didn’t have the feel of a sexy MNF matchup, but here we are: With the Raiders unbeaten and the Bolts coming off a big win against the Chiefs, it has become a can’t-miss game for Week 4.
Oddsmakers don’t expect the Raiders’ winning streak to continue, with NFL betting lines installing the Chargers as 3-point home favorites.
Here are our best free Raiders vs. Chargers picks and predictions for October 4.

We are now just about a week away from seeing the first player selected in this year’s NFL Draft walk up onto the floating stage in front of the Bellagio in Las Vegas to greet Roger Goodell.
But we still aren’t sure who that will be.
In fact, this is still one of the more mysterious drafts in recent memory. There are still so many unknowns heading into April 28 as NFL Draft Odds continue to fluctuate.
There is no clear-cut No. 1 pick, and while there are some high-ceiling quarterbacks like Malik Willis and Matt Corral, there is certainly no Andrew Luck or Joe Burrow in this class.
We are now in the home stretch of the draft process, which means NFL Draft betting options are hitting the board in droves, so here is the fourth and final version of m…

It’s almost Halloween and if you’re looking for last-minute costume ideas, you might want to keep in mind that for an NFL quarterback, there is nothing more terrifying than a 270-pound behemoth trying to take your head off.
I hunt for those kinds of monsters as I dive into the NFL odds and find the best defensive player props to bet on. This week, that’s headlined by one of the scariest defensive players in the league — Philadelphia’s Haason Reddick.
Here are my favorite sack and tackle NFL picks when it comes to the latest Week 8 odds.

Matthew Stafford is back in the Motor City for the first time since being traded as his Lost Angeles Rams lock horns with the Detroit Lions tonight. Stafford was Detroit’s starting quarterback for more than a decade and while he put up impressive numbers for the Lions, they played in a grand total of three playoff games — all losses.
They’ve entered the postseason in style by winning the NFC North and their Super Bowl odds sit at +1,800, significantly shorter than Stafford’s Rams (+5,000). Wild Card odds for this game have the highest total of the weekend at 51.5, signaling that we could see a big day for Stafford.
Let’s break down the best ways to bet on the Matt Stafford odds in our NFL picks for this Wild Card showdown.

It’s another prime-time slot for Kirk Cousins and the Atlanta Falcons, but the joy of Monday’s dramatic late win could be short-lived with the Kansas City Chiefs in town tonight.
Though the Chiefs are somewhat fortunate to be entering with a 2-0 record, I still think they’ll come out on top here as Patrick Mahomes is a monster in dome games.
I’m also looking at player prop markets concerning running backs Bijan Robinson and Samaje Perine for my favorite Chiefs vs. Falcons predictions and NFL picks on September 22.
