GENEVA -- Tour de France champion Chris Froome wants an investigation into cyclings doping history to finally close an era dominated by Lance Armstrong. Red Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 33 . Almost 18 months after Armstrongs seven Tour wins were wiped from the record, an independent panel created by the new International Cycling Union leadership has begun work to discover the extent of the sports past problems. "I hope that anyone who does have anything to contribute would get involved." Froome told The Associated Press in an interview on Tuesday. The three-man Cycling Independent Reform Commission aims to investigate how doping happened from 1998-2013 and possible UCI complicity in helping Armstrong and his teams avoid scrutiny. "I am hoping that at the end of the day people will be able to say of it, Right, that was that era, we can now put that to bed and stop asking questions about it," Froome said. Armstrong and former UCI presidents Hein Verbruggen and Pat McQuaid will be invited for confidential, closed-door interviews with the panel which is based at Lausanne, Switzerland. None of the trio has committed publicly to meeting with the panel, which is chaired by Swiss politician and prosecutor Dick Marty. Froome said the panel could engage "not just necessarily those three, but anyone really who is part of that era and can contribute to resolving it." "Its going to be more negative publicity for the sport. Thats never good," Froome acknowledged. The Team Sky leader, who made a winning return to racing last month at the Tour of Oman, said he had not heard much talk about the commission among current riders, who must help restore the sports credibility. "Theres a lot of really, really talented young riders coming through the system now that I believe in personally." Froome said. "These are going to be the guys carrying the torch going forward." Froome will be 29 when he is scheduled to start defending his Tour title on July 5 in northern England -- probably with 2012 winner Bradley Wiggins alongside him. "Im confident whoever is in there, we are going to have the strongest team possible," said Froome, whose frayed relationship with Wiggins was mended in the off-season. "He can do a lot of damage to the peloton. Hes one of the best climbers in the world and we know his time trialing ability." Froome expects to follow the path both he and Wiggins followed to Tour success, competing in -- and winning -- stage-race preparations at the Tour de Romandie in Switzerland and Criterium de Dauphine in France. "I think it would be crazy to really change things up too much," Froome said. "We found it has been a good system that has worked quite well for us." Speaking at the Geneva Motor Show, on the sidelines of a Team Sky sponsors event, Froome said extra work being a Tour champion was "a bit of a juggling act" with his training program. Still, the Oman victory suggests he got the balance right. "It just backs up that I have had a really good winter preparation," Froome said. "Im where I need to be for the season coming up."

Its just going to allow me to play even faster and build confidence in myself that, hey, I can do this. I belong in this league.Rambo, who signed with Buffalo last month, got his opportunity midway through the third quarter after backup safety Duke Williams left the game after experiencing concussion-like symptoms. Rambos first interception came after the Bills went ahead 16-10. And his second, on a pass that went off receiver Jarrett Boykins fingers, set up Dan Carpenters 48-yard field goal.The interceptions keyed a dominating performance that ended with defensive end Mario Williams forcing a fumble by Rodgers that resulted in a safety with 1:51 left.Buffalo (8-6) stayed in a jumbled AFC playoff picture. Meanwhile, the Packers (10-4) had a five-game winning streak snapped and prevented them from closing in on clinching their sixth straight playoff berth.It was an uncharacteristically sloppy performance by Rodgers, who had thrown only three interceptions all season — and none in his past five starts. He finished 17 of 42 for 185 yards. His 34.3 quarterback rating was the worst of his career.It wasnt my best day by any stretch of the imagination, Rodgers said. Ive got to play better for us to win. I expect more of myself.Eddie Lacy scored on a 1-yard run, and Mason Crosby kicked two field goals for Green Bay.Marcus Thigpen, another Bills newcomer, scored on a 75-yard punt return, and Carpenter hit all four field-goal attempts.Here are some other things that stood out as the Packers fell to 0-6 at Orchard Park:BAD HANDS: Rodgers got very little help from his receivers, who dropped several passes. The most notable drop was committed by the usually reliable Jordy Nelson. Womens Nike Air Zoom Pegasus 32. railing 16-10 and facing second-and-6 at his own 6 late in the third quarter, Rodgers hit a wide-open Nelson in stride up the right sideline only to have the pass glance off his fingers.We had all sorts of chances and just didnt make them for whatever reason, Nelson said. My drop couldve won the game for us, so Ive got to make those, no matter how easy or hard they are.NO OFFENSE: The Bills defence bailed out another sputtering performance by the teams Kyle Orton-led offence.Orton finished 14 of 27 for 158 yards with an interception. Buffalo produced 13 first downs, 253 yards offence and settled for two field goals on two drives inside Green Bays 20.Well just keep on getting better, Orton said. Well feel good that we got the win, but realize there are a lot more things we can do to get better.FINALLY .500: The Bills record hasnt dropped below .500 all season. And now Buffalos guaranteed its best finish in 10 years. The eight wins are the most for Buffalo since a 9-7 record in 2004.The team still has an uphill climb to end a 14-season playoff drought — the NFLs longest active streak. Due to tiebreakers, the Bills rank ninth out of nine AFC teams with eight or more wins.Buffalo plays at Oakland this weekend, before closing at New England.PACKERS REGROUP: Green Bay is tied atop the NFC North standings with Detroit, and failed to keep pace with conference-leading Arizona (11-3).Rodgers maintains confidence the Packers can bounce back after losing for just the second time in 11 games.Everythings right in front of us. If we win out, we still win the North, Rodgers said. This is an important time for us to see what kind of chemistry we have on this team.Green Bay travels to play Tampa Bay next weekend, and closes at home against Detroit.MILESTONES: Bills receiver Sammy Watkins had one catch for 28 yards, enough to up his total 850 to set the teams rookie record. The former mark was set by Lee Evans, who had 843 yards in 2004.Nelson had 55 yards receiving to set a single-season career best with 1,320 yards — 6 more than he had last year.___AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP_NFL Cheap Jerseys China NFL Jerseys China NFL Jerseys Wholesale Discount Basketball Jerseys Cheap NHL Jerseys Authentic Cheap Baseball Jerseys Free Shipping Cheapest College Jerseys Sale Cheap Football Jerseys China Nike NFL Jerseys Canada Wholesale NHL Jerseys From China MLB Jerseys Outlet Canada Wholesale NBA Jerseys Canada Store Cheap Soccer Jerseys China Cheap Authentic Jerseys Canada ' ' '
