We've been slated; all of the above, but yet when you have turnouts like (Sunday) it makes it all worthwhile," Newton said after the win against the Cardinals. Added wide receiver Jer- richo Cotchery: "Everyone can try to find something when they doubt us, but we just try to go out there and put our ball on display." Rivera has said he loves his team's personality — and doesn't want players to change. He doesn't mind New- ton's touchdown celebra- tions, his players posing for pictures on the side- line when the game is in hand or even lip-syncing to Drake's lyrics, "We got a really big team; we need some really big rings" in a video they've posted on so- cial media. "We are who we are," Ri- vera said. Right now, what the Panthers are is a champi- onship team looking for the franchise's first Super Bowl. Rivera doesn't plan to change a thing. "Do what you've done," Rivera said. "Some of my experiences in coaching, you get to certain experi- ences like the playoffs, and sometimes you get a little bit of panic. Am I doing enough? Should I do more? Should I change this? "I told our coordina- tors, 'We're going to stick to what got us to where we are.' We'll emphasize that to the players and make sure we keep our person- ality." Panthers FROM PAGE 1 It was Manning's third win in four conference championship games against his rival, Tom Brady, who is 10-3 against Manning in the regular season in the most storied quarterback rivalry in NFL history. While Manning was sidelined, several unsub- stantiated reports painted the face of the league as a bad teammate or a cheat. The NFL Network alleged he would refuse to serve as Osweiler's backup once healthy and Al Jazeera re- ported Manning obtained HGH from an anti-aging clinic in Indianapolis, al- though his accuser re- canted. The NFL said it's con- ducting a comprehensive review of the HGH allega- tions, a probe that's not ex- pected to be complete until after the Super Bowl. Manning angrily de- nied using performance- enhancing substances and called the report "complete garbage." He also called on the league to investigate the claims as soon as pos- sible. Manning FROM PAGE 1 since winning the title in 2010, but he's a serious ob- stacle for Djokovic. They're 22-all in ca- reer head-to-heads, with Djokovic catching up since usurping Federer in the rankings. The tiebreaker will be tricky. Djokovic lost only one of his 28 Grand Slam matches in 2015 — to Stan Wawrinka in the French Open final — and has won 37 of his last 38 matches at Melbourne Park, a run that includes four titles. He beat Federer in the Wimbledon and U.S. Open finals last year, but Federer was back contending for ti- tles. "Any round feels like fi- nals because of the fact that we are, you know, big rivals, we played so many times against each other," Djokovic said. "There's a lot of tension. There's a lot at stake. I'm expecting a great fight in two days." In the women's semi- finals, Williams will be facing fourth-seeded Ag- nieszka Radwanska, who beat No. 10 Carla Suarez Navarro 6-1, 6-3. Radwan- ska has won one of her pre- vious four semifinals at a major, but never won a Grand Slam title. Williams is 8-0 against Radwanska, including their meeting in the 2012 Wimbledon final. Williams said she couldn't explain her 11-year domination of Sharapova — she has won 19 of their 21 meetings overall — ex- cept to say she rises to the big challenges. "When I play her, I know automatically I have to step up my game," said Wil- liams, a 21-time major win- ner. "I think that makes me play better. "When I'm forced to play better, I do well." Williams attacked Sharapova's strength, tar- geting the five-time Grand Slam winner's improving serve. Sharapova had a career- high 21 aces in her previous win against No. 12 Belinda Bencic. Against Williams, she had three, and seven double-faults. Williams had 13 aces, hit 31 winners to 11, and broke Sharapo- va's serve four times. "She played quite explo- sive," Sharapova said. "She was really explosive off the return. Yeah." Sharapova hasn't given up hope of breaking a drought against Williams that goes back to 2004. "It's motivating be- cause she's at a different level," Sharapova said. "She makes you go back to the drawing board, not just for me, but for many other players. She makes you work. That's inspir- ing." Federer also has some inspiration in his next match against Djokovic, namely the recent losses. The 34-year-old Fe- derer used a full array of shots, including some vin- tage backhands, in his 48 winners to avenge losses to Berdych at Wimbledon in 2010 and the 2012 U.S. Open. "Tomas has caused me a lot of problems over the years," said Federer, who improved to 16-6 against Berdych. "He's one of those guys who make you a better player, he's beaten me on the biggest courts around the world." Tennis FROM PAGE 1 after only five months on the job, came to the gov- erning body from the con- sulting company Accen- ture. He acknowledged he had little experience deal- ing with the politics that drive international sports federations. But he brought business acumen. "The board felt I was way too aggressive," Sow- rey said. "They basically voted me out. I didn't re- sign. The board finally told me to leave." Sowrey said looking at Guanabara Bay on "fact- based,data-drivenmodelwe wouldneverconsidersailing in that quality of water." Independent testing of Guanabara Bay conducted by the AP over the last year shows disease-causing vi- ruses linked to human sew- age at levels thousands of times above what would be considered alarming in the U.S. or Europe. The tests include the venue for sail- ing, but also Rio's Olympic venues for rowing, canoe- ing, open-water swimming and triathlon. About 1,600 athletes will compete in these ven- ues during the Olympics, which open on Aug. 5, and hundreds more during the subsequent Paralympics. Experts say athletes will be competing in the viral equivalent of raw sewage with exposure to danger- ous health risks almost certain. Many sailors have described the conditions as "sailing in a toilet" or an "open sewer." Viruses like those in Guanabara Bay can cause stomach and respiratory ailments that could knock an athlete out of the Olym- pics. When he first learned of the AP analysis, Sowrey supported the same kind of independent viral testing. But he was nudged to sup- port the position adopted by the International Olym- pic Committee, the World Health Organization and local organizers; that the bacteria-only testing was sufficient. "I was just stepping on toes," Sowrey said. Like many of the 35 fed- erations that participate in the Summer and Win- ter Olympics, World Sail- ing gets much of its income from the IOC. Sowrey and Hunt both said more than half of World Sailing's an- nual revenue was from that source. World Sailing's execu- tive board, which Sowrey said dismissed him, has two non-voting members — King Harald V of Nor- way and Constantine, the former king of Greece — and seven voting members. Some are former Olympi- ans or former heads of na- tional sailing federations. Sowrey proposed Buzios as a replacement for Gua- nabara and showed the AP a 20-page dossier detailing the plans. "I did a plan with Buzios andtriedtopushitthrough," said Sowrey, who also lives part-time in the town. "I couldn't win that battle, not internally at ISAF (World Sailing) and I couldn't win it with the organizers. I was perplexed why there was no backupsailingplan.It'sonly sailing after all, it's not cur- ing cancer." Buzios is no longer an option and Hunt knows the looming risks. "There'll be huge inter- est in how the (Olympic) re- gatta goes, and the prob- lems that take place," Hunt told the AP. Hunt has been weaned on sports politics. He was the CEO of the Brit- ish Olympic Association, and the BOA delegation head for the 2010 Vancou- ver Winter Games, and the 2012 London Olympics. "It (Guanabara) is not ideal," Hunt said. "For one moment I'm not saying it's ideal, but I do think there's a huge amount of effort and attention going into this to ensure the safety of the athletes." His main worry is the floating trash, which will be policedduringthegamesby a dozen rubbish collection boats,barriersusedtoblock fetid streams that feed the bay, and helicopters to spot flows of detritus. A sewer pipe to keep raw sewage from reaching the Marina da Gloria, the launching point during the Olympics, is supposed to be ready by late March but is at least three months be- hind schedule.
