Guardiola hails 'irreplaceable' Aguero
MANCHESTER, United Kingdom, — Pep Guardiola believes Sergio Aguero is "irreplaceable" as the Manchester City forward enters the final 18 months of his glorious career in English football.The record-breaking Argentinian is likely to be on the bench for the reigning Premier League champions visit to Wolves on Friday as he continues his recovery from a thigh problem.That injury has sidelined the 31-year-old since the end of November and given Guardiola a taste of what life will be like when Aguero's contract ends next year.The City manager does not expect to be able to talk Aguero into changing his plans to end his career in his homeland and that will leave Guardiola with the thankless task of replacing a man who has, to date, scored 244 times for his club."I'd say it...

Russia challenges WADA doping ban
MOSCOW — Russia on Friday formally contested a four-year ban from major sporting events over doping violations that President Vladimir Putin has condemned as "unjust," the head of its RUSADA anti-doping agency said."In accordance with established procedure, today we have sent a package of documents to the World Anti-Doping Agency. The package contains a notice about disagreement with WADA sanctions," RUSADA director general Yury Ganus told reporters in Moscow.Ganus, who has long argued for a major crackdown by Russia against doping cheats, warned that the legal challenge could backfire, however.The formal statement of disagreement with WADA will trigger an appeal process against the ban at the Lausanne-based Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).Ganus, whose rigorous...

Scallywag leads Sydney-Hobart on day two
SYDNEY — Hong Kong yacht Scallywag led the pack on day two of the Sydney to Hobart race Friday, but with very little separating the five leading contenders.SHK Scallywag had to retire from last year's race with a broken bowsprit, but was just over two nautical miles ahead of Black Jack 22 hours into this year's race.More than 150 yachts entered the open ocean for the annual, 630 nautical miles (1,170 kilometers) race down Australia's east coast on Thursday.Race favorite Comanche had snatched the lead after a slow start and the 100-footer was still in contention Friday — albeit well behind its own 2017 race record in less favorable conditions."Anything could and probably will happen" said race spokesperson Di Pearson, adding that boat speeds varied between 5.5...
