FRISCO, Texas -- Jason Witten glanced overhead at a giant picture of him above the walkway to the new indoor practice stadium for the Dallas Cowboys.Defensive coordinator Rod Marinelli turned one way through a crowd of media members, only to reappear seconds later going the other way, not afraid to admit he was lost.The Cowboys had their first workday Sunday at their new practice facility -- part headquarters, part spa, part museum with amenities the players probably couldnt have imagined at aging Valley Ranch.I mean, words cant describe it, Witten said about the site about 30 miles north of Dallas. Its an unbelievable facility.Historical displays from a franchise with five Super Bowl titles are scattered through the football wing and the adjacent headquarters, an office building with a view of the outdoor practice fields on one side.The cramped training room at the old facility in Irving has been replaced by multiple rooms and rehab pools, including one with a surface that moves up and down to accommodate players limited by movement coming off surgery. It also has underwater cameras for athletic trainers to see a players feet hitting the surface.And the football-shaped locker room dwarfs the previous one.Probably have to yell if you want to talk to some of the guys down the way, running back Darren McFadden said. But its definitely a great layout.Dallas just finished training camp in California and played the first home preseason game two days before the official move-in to the new headquarters, which was commemorated by a ribbon cutting with owner Jerry Jones and all the dignitaries associated with a project that ultimately will cost more than $1 billion.While the Jones family celebrated outside, the Cowboys practiced inside in their own place for the first time since the spring of 2009, when a severe storm destroyed their indoor facility at Valley Ranch.There is still the business of football, an easy thing to forget amid the hoopla.I think our guys will get that message today from coach (Jason) Garrett, defensive tackle Tyrone Crawford said. And if they dont get it from coach Garrett, theyll definitely get it from me. This is nice. Enjoy it for the day. Get the way around the land and then get back to football. Thats got to be the message.The players have a new team meeting room that seats more than 150. Position group meeting rooms have huge TVs, with large murals of previous stars (Troy Aikman in the quarterback room, for instance). Cafeteria doesnt seem like an elaborate enough word for a dining facility that will feed the players and host parties.When they practice outside, the Cowboys will have a turf field and a grass field. The weight room has a great field-level view of both, along with dozens of dumbbells that have the Cowboys famous star logo on the side.The lockers have cushion seat backs that open for storage. The helmets are illuminated in small cubicles and would like they were for display only if they didnt have scars from game use on them.Its just beautiful, quarterback Tony Romo said. Until you set foot in this place, you cant appreciate it.It was easy to forget that the Cowboys have another preseason game in four days (Thursday night at Seattle). And the regular-season opener Sept. 11 at their suddenly secondary $1.2 billion stadium against the New York Giants.And it was easy to forget that much of the memorabilia already stuffed inside the new facility -- with plenty more coming -- is from Super Bowl eras now at least 20 years old. The Cowboys last reached the title game 21 years ago, and 31 years since their old home in Irving opened.The great thing about Valley Ranch over all those years were the championships those guys formed and won, said Witten, going into his 14th season along with Romo. Thats what you want to create here. All of this is great, but then you have to go and take the next step and that is win football games.Just give Marinelli a few days to find his office.---Online:AP NFL websites: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Schuyler Dixon on Twitter at https://twitter.com/apschuyler Cheap Jordan Retro Shoes For Sale .

LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Three female weightlifters from Kazakhstan have been stripped of gold medals from the 2012 London Olympics after failing retests of their doping samples.The Kazakh lifters were among eight athletes sanctioned by the International Olympic Committee on Thursday after their stored samples came back positive for steroids.Zulfiya Chinshanlo, Maiya Maneza and Svetlana Podobedova have been stripped of the gold medals they won in the 53-kilogram, 63kg and 75kg divisions, respectively. All three tested positive for the steroid stanozolol, with Chinshanlos sample also containing oxandrolone.The IOC did not say whether the medals would be reallocated to other athletes. If that happens, Christine Girard of Canada would be elevated to silver in the 63kg class and could get gold if a failed doping test from a Russian lifter who was the original second-place finisher also results in a ban.Also Thursday, a female weightlifter from Belarus was stripped of a bronze medal. Marina Shkermankova had finished third in the 69kg class. Also disqualified were two other Belarusian lifters, a Russian hammer thrower and a Russian pole vaulter, none of whom won medals.The punishments for the Kazakh and Belarusian weightlifters are now set to trigger an automatic one-year ban from all international weightlifting competitions for the two countries under International Weightlifting Federation rules imposing automatic bans if at least three of a countrys athletes fail Olympic retests.The IOC said a case against a Russian wrestler who won a silver medal was dropped because he died in a car crash three years ago.dddddddddddd The IOC disciplinary commission said Besik Kudukhovs result will stand because it cannot rule on doping cases involving the dead.The situation is unsatisfactory as it implies that Olympic results which would probably have had to be reviewed will remain uncorrected, the commission noted in its ruling.The IOC stores doping samples for 10 years so they can be reanalyzed when improved testing methods become available.The IOC recorded a total of 98 positive cases in recent retests of samples from the London Games and 2008 Beijing Olympics, with almost half of the cases in weightlifting.Weightlifting has long struggled with doping, but is under particular pressure over the retests. In one event from 2012, six of the top-10 finishers have tested positive.In August, IWF president Tamas Ajan told The Associated Press he hoped the sport would be allowed to stay on the Olympic program for future games despite its struggles with steroids, and said he wanted to ban leading countries from the sport for a year in a process he likened to shock therapy.The retests have also implicated a Kazakh gold medalist who is the sports biggest star on social media. Ilya Ilyin has failed retests from both the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, though the IOC has not yet finished processing those cases. ' ' '
