The threat of heftier sanctions from the World Anti-Doping Agency has prompted key figures in the Lachie Whitfield saga to accept bans for the 2017 season.News Corp and Fox Sports have reported the young Greater Western Sydney midfielder will be handed a six-month ban for avoiding a drugs test last May.The two ex-Giants staff members involved in the cover-up - Graeme Allan and Craig Lambert - are also set for 12-month bans under the AFL-imposed but ASADA-backed agreement.A final decision and announcement of the punishments, which could also include the loss of picks in his months national draft, could arrive this week after Tuesdays AFL Commission meeting.The suspensions will allow Whitfield, taken by the Giants with the No.1 pick in the 2012 draft, to resume his career as soon as round nine of the 2017 season.Allan, who is now Collingwoods football chief, and Lambert, who also left his role as a welfare officer with the Giants for a role with AFL rivals Brisbane, would resume their careers at seasons end.The punishment is a blow for the Magpies, which released respected backroom operator Neil Balme after appointing Allan and will need to find a short-term replacement for the 2016 season.The sentences are the result of negotiations between the parties and the AFL, under ASADA supervision, unlike the tortured, antagonistic process that lengthened Essendons supplements saga.Its understood that by accepting the sanctions, ASADA will effectively close the book on the inquiry, clearing Whitfield, Allan and Lambert of future investigations.It is unclear whether Whitfield will be able to train with the Giants during his ban.The 22-year-old stayed at Lamberts house for several nights in May last year, under Allans instructions, after alleged recreational drug use, so as to avoid a potential drug test.Any announcement on Tuesday would come alongside the Commissions decision on whether it will award Brownlow Medals to Sam Mitchell and Trent Cotchin.Mitchell and Cotchin polled 26 votes in the 2012 count, behind only Essendon midfielder Jobe Watson, who has given back his medal after his involvement in the clubs doping regime.

RIO DE JANEIRO -- Just like four years ago in London, Alistair Brownlee grabbed a British flag, slowed to a trot and then walked across the finish line to win the gold medal in the mens Olympic triathlon.He dropped to the ground in exhaustion again.Only this time, moments later he got celebrate with his little brother.Jonathan Brownlee upgraded his bronze from 2012 to silver on Thursday. Plus, he didnt need medical attention after finishing the race at a cloudless Copacabana Beach like he did after his run through Hyde Park, which delayed both his celebration and the medal ceremony.The pair broke away halfway through the 10-kilometer run and Alistair Brownlee finished in 1 hour, 45 minutes, 1 second, ahead of his brother, whos two years younger, by six seconds.They stayed on the ground for a long time, then embraced each other.That was a lot more emotional that Ive ever been before, the younger brother said. In London, gold and bronze were incredible but it wasnt gold and silver. And to achieve that ... you literally could do no better.They had already hopped to their feet by the time Henri Schoeman of South Africa came in 42 seconds later for bronze.Sibling rivalries arent usually played out like this on the Olympic stage, but its actually a moment they thought they might have a chance at four years ago.It was flipping close in the end and then Javier Gomez Noya got between us, Alistair Brownlee said. Today I knew if it went right we could do it.The silver medalist at the London Games, however, waasnt in the field after breaking his left arm two months ago while training for Rio, opening the way for this 1-2 finish by the Brownlee brothers.ddddddddddddAlistair Brownlee said he didnt plan out the replica finish with the flag and the slowing down to a trot. He said he visualizes everything else about the race, the one-loop ocean swim, the steep, hilly, 24-mile bike ride and the 6.2-mile run, but not the ending or the elation.I never allow myself to think about crossing the finish line, he said. You just do it.Ben Kanute of the U.S. got an up-close look at the Brownlees, staying with them coming out of the water and dismounting his bike before fading halfway through the grueling run and tottering across in 29th place.I put myself in a position to finish really well, but that was some of the hardest swimming and biking Ive ever done, Kanute said. and I think by the time I hit 5K on the run, the fireworks just started and it was just trying to survive.Polluted waters were a major concern leading up to the Rio Games, but Alistair Brownlee said he had no complaints.The water on the beach was absolutely fine, he said, and Ive seen nothing to worry about.Except maybe Schoeman, who reached the podium for the first time in a major race and said come Tokyo in 2020 he might be able to hang with the Brownlee brothers.Maybe in four years time, Ill give them a go for that gold.
