Moody,andHayneearned kudos from Rathman for his block. In team drills, Hayne blocked blitzing linebacker Shayne Skov into the ground. • Linebacker NaVorro Bowman had practice off to rest. He instead worked out in the weight room and said he'll be back to practice for Wednesday's session, which moves back to Levi's Stadium after the past two days' on the usual training fields. • Wide receiver Jerome Simpson was excused from practice for personal rea- sons. • Veteran Darnell Dock- ett voiced strong support for first-round draft pick Arik Armstead, saying the 6-foot-7 rookie has a "bet- ter upside" than Dockett's former Arizona Cardinals teammate Calais Camp- bell, a 6-foot-8 force who made last season's Pro Bowl. "He's strong, fast, ath- letic, played basketball, and he listens," Dockett said of Armstead. "He's going to be a dominant force for us. … Arik asks questions and learns, and he's very humble, which is what I like most about him." • Wide receiver Bruce Ellington did not practice after straining his left leg in Monday's practice. El- lington missed most of the offseason program with a hamstring issue in his other leg. • Cornerback Shareece Wright intercepted a Kae- pernick pass and returned it 30 yards for a would- be touchdown. Eric Reid blitzed on the play. 49ers FROMPAGE1 recorded suspicious tests. The IAAF said it pub- lished a detailed analysis of that data more than four years ago. A large proportion of the blood samples were col- lected in a period before the implementation of the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP) and "cannot there- fore be used as proof of doping." Noting that "suspicion alone does not equal proof of doping," the IAAF said "we refute outright any allegation that the IAAF did not appropriately fol- low up suspicious pro- files which had been pro- actively identified through its world leading blood pro- filing program." "Any reporting by the ARD and Sunday Times that the IAAF was negli- gent in addressing or fol- lowing up the suspicious profiles is simply false, disappointing and misin- formed journalism. "In an attempt to catch and sanction the cheats in our sport, the IAAF has used every means avail- able to it within the anti- doping framework it oper- ates in." The federation said that before the ABP became available, it "systemati- cally compiled a database of blood profiles from in- ternational athletes, and then used this database to guide its targeted, no-ad- vance-notice, out-of-com- petition testing program." "Athletes were targeted individually, with testing timed to correlate with the most likely periods of doping as indicated by their individual profile and competition schedule," the IAAF said, adding that six were caught cheating and banned. The IAAF said its dop- ing control program "de- liberately targeted" ath- letes from countries where there was insufficient out- of-competition. The IAAF acknowledged that "some nations" were lagging behind in imple- menting a robust drug-test- ing program but said that progress is being made. The two reports alleged that more than 80 of Rus- sia's medals were won by athletes with suspicious tests, while Kenya had 18 medals won by athletes under suspicion. ARD said it has evidence of human growth hormone being used by Russian runners. "There are clearly some nations who account for the largest percentage of suspicious blood values. The IAAF does not shy away from this fact. The IAAF also notes that those countries ... reported by the ARD and The Sunday Times ... are the very same countries" that currently lack a "strong, robust" na- tional anti-doping program backed with government support," the IAAF said. The outgoing IAAF pres- ident Lamine Diack on Monday defended his or- ganization's anti-doping record and dismissed the accusations as a "joke." Diack, who will be step- ping down later this month after 15 years at the helm of the IAAF, also questioned the timing of the reports, which came out three weeks before the athlet- ics world championships in Beijing, which run from Aug. 22-30. IAAF FROM PAGE 1 excited about that." The Giants blew leads of 6-0, 7-5 in the ninth and 8-7 in the 12th against the Braves on Monday, but the late innings be- longed to San Francisco on Tuesday. Pence's home run capped a four-run eighth after the Braves had built a 3-2 lead in the sev- enth. Gregor Blanco and Matt Duffy (four hits) led off with doubles, and af- ter an intentional walk to Buster Posey, Pence hom- ered off Dave Aardsma (0- 1). Nori Aoki added a solo home run during a two-run ninth. "(This was a) good bounce back," said Giants manager Bruce Boche. "Great night for us. A hard- fought win." Jeremy Affeldt (1-2) picked up the win for the Giants, who have won 12 of 16 since the All-Star break. They are game back of the Cubs for the second wild card spot in the Na- tional League. "We've played extremely good ball since we came out of the (All-Star) break," Peavy said. "You saw the character of the San Fran- cisco Giants show up to- night. We talked about it before the game. To come back again against late-in- ning relievers after giving up a lead in the seventh in- ning and respond the way we did is a real testament to who this team is." For the Braves, the frustration continued for Shelby Miller, whose win- less streak was extended to 14 starts despite giving up just two runs in seven in- nings and leaving with a 3-2 lead. Miller has a 3.14 ERA during the streak, which started after he lost a no-hitter with two outs in the ninth inning on May 17. "He was dominant throughout the whole game," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We can't ask for anything more from him, we really can't." Trainer'sroom Giants: Giants man- ager Bruce Boche said in- jured All-Star second base- man Joe Panik has yet to have an MRI on his injured back. He returned to San Francisco on Tuesday and is on the 15-day disabled list. Up next Giants: World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner (11-6, 3.39) will start for the Giants in their final matchup with the Braves of the 2015 regular season. Bumgarner is 4-0 with a 2.30 ERA in his last five starts against the Braves. Giants FROM PAGE 1 DAVIDGOLDMAN—THEASSOCIATED PRESS San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Jake Peavy throws in the first inning of a baseball game against the Atlanta Braves Tuesday, in Atlanta. By Margaret Stafford The Associated Press KANSASCITY,MO. The Na- tional Baseball Congress suspended using batboys and girls during its World Series games in Kansas following the death of a 9-year-old boy who was ac- cidentally hit in the head with a bat during a game. Kaiser Carlile died Sun- day, a day after he was hit by a follow-through swing near the on-deck circle dur- ing the Liberal Bee Jays' game in Wichita. The boy was wearing a helmet. During an emotional news conference Monday, Kaiser was remembered as an energetic, happy boy who loved being part of the Bee Jays. Manager Adam Anderson and several play- ers said he inspired them to always work hard, have fun and win. "I can't get over how hard he worked, and he was having fun doing it," said outfielder Gavin We- hby, who plays for Nich- olls State. "I was blessed to have called him a friend, a teammate and most of all a brother." The NBC's general man- ager, Kevin Jenks, said Kaiser would be honored throughout the tourna- ment until the champion- ship game Saturday. The honors will include having the boy's initials on the scoreboard marquee and fundraisers for his fam- ily during the games. The team also is wearing wrist- bands and T-shirts with Kaiser's initials. Kaiser's father, Chad Carlile, said his son was competitive but also just loved the game of base- ball. He said Kaiser cher- ished a pair of shoes and a white bracelet the team had given him. He said his son's organs will be do- nated. "There is no anger to- ward what happened," he said. "This is something that was obviously a trag- edy. I want no bad com- ments ... He was happy. He loved it and the team ob- viously loved him as well." The tournament has been in Wichita since 1931 and this is the first time such a situation has oc- curred, Jenks said. BASEBALL Use of batboys and girls suspended a er death EARL WATT — LEADER & TIMES The Liberal Bee Jays team kneels in prayer near the outfield gate opened for an ambulance to transport Kaiser Carlile to a hospital at a National Baseball Congress World Series game in Wichita, Kan.
