Saracens England international wing Chris Ashton is at the centre of an alleged biting controversy following the Aviva Premiership champions punishing 27-12 victory over Northampton at Allianz Park.Northampton rugby director Jim Mallinder confirmed after the game that Saints prop Alex Waller said he had been bitten on the hand.It followed a first-half incident when Ashtons mouth appeared to make contact with Wallers hand during a tangle on the floor.He [Waller] just repeated what he said to the referee [Greg Garner], in that he had been bitten on the hand, Mallinder said.Also asked about it during his post-match press conference, Saracens rugby director Mark McCall added: I have heard the accusation.I havent seen the incident. These things will run its [their] course. I suppose there is a good chance that Chris will be cited as a result, so we will see what happens.Ashton received a 10-week ban last season for making contact with the eye area of Ulster back Luke Marshall during a European Champions Cup game, although he protested his innocence throughout.If he is cited for biting -- and the charge is proved -- he could be looking at another long lay-off. Garner took no action at the time, and Ashtons fate now rests with match citing commissioner Mike Rafter.The 29-year-old former Northampton star, who has scored 19 tries in 39 appearances for England, is currently not part of England head coach Eddie Jones plans.Waller, meanwhile, was sin-binned in the second period for a dangerous tackle on Saracens hooker Jamie George, with Saracens scoring 12 unanswered points during his absence as the game turned on its head.Waller could be in trouble not only for the tackle, but also following a resulting skirmish when his head made contact with Georges face.Mallinder said: We had the ball, Alex got charged into and he took it too far.They [Saracens] are tough enough to beat when you have got 15 men, but when you are down to 14 for 20 minutes [Sam Dickinson was sin-binned later in the game], you are really up against it.Saints, meanwhile, saw their England international centre Luther Burrell leave the pitch in groggy fashion following a second-half tackle on Saracens skipper Brad Barritt, with Burrell leaving Allianz Park in an ambulance.

Anthony Calvillo, through 20 CFL seasons, was frequently invincible and largely stoic in the heat of competition. But underneath the professional exterior he was, and is, compellingly human. When USA Basketball hands out jerseys to members of its national womens basketball team before they attempt to win a sixth straight Olympic gold medal at the Rio Games, it will also provide them with a history lesson.We let every player know who has worn that number before, said Carol Callan, the director of the national team. I think its important they have an appreciation for that when they put that uniform on.A lot of credit has been given to the 1996 team , which started the Americans string of gold medals. But the list Callan is referring to starts with names like Nancy Lieberman, Pat Summitt and Ann Meyers Drysdale. Summitt, who died Tuesday morning , wore No. 14. In Rio, that number will be worn by former UConn standout and New Liberty center Tina Charles.USA Basketball, which plans to honor the 1976 team during exhibition games before the Rio Olympics this summer, only uses jersey numbers 4-15. FIBA recently lifted that limitation though USAB continues to use just those numbers.Lieberman, Meyers Drysdale and Summitt were part of a group of college players who 40 years ago participated in the first womens basketball tournament at the Olympics in Canada and won the USAs first medal in the sport -- a silver.The United States, currently on a 41-game Olympic winning streak, was not expected to qualify for the games in 1976.The national team had finished eighth in the world championships in 1975. The U.S. was not assured a berth in the Montreal Games until two weeks before, when they won a qualifying tournament in Hamilton, Ontario.To prepare for the Olympics they were given a budget of $500 and the use of a personal credit card belonging to Bill Wall, the executive director of what would become USA Basketball.We were lucky we had uniforms, said Meyers Drysdale.Guard Sue Rojcewicz said the team practiced at the University of Rochester, where they stayed in dorm that was under construction and had no air conditioning. They trained three times a day. When they got to Montreal, the coaches would get them up at 4 a.m. to practice, because their first game against Japan was at 9 a.m.As a joke, Rojcewicz said, the players once showed up to the gym in their pajamas.One time we showed up in shower curtains and fins aand goggles, she said.dddddddddddd The coaches made us play like that for about a half hour.But all of that created a bond, the players said.They developed a style built around a fast pace, ball movement and pressure defense.They lost the Olympic opener of the five-game round-robin tournament to Japan and lost another game in the tournament to the dominant Soviet Union, the eventual gold medalists. But they beat Bulgaria and Canada. That set up a must-win game against Czechoslovakia to earn silver.Lieberman, now an assistant with the Sacramento Kings, said Billie Jean Moore -- coach of that 1976 team -- told the squad before the game that what we do today will impact the next 25 years. And she was right.The game was tied at halftime, before the Americans pulled away to win by 17 points.We threw that press on in the second half, said forward Gail Marquis. I remember Nancy Lieberman. Truly, I really think she jumped over somebody or she fouled somebody with her knees or her ankles, she was jumping so high.Meyers Drysdale said she understands that a silver medal today would be considered a disappointment. But 40 years ago, it was an amazing achievement.When we realized we won our medal, we just all flopped on top of each other like a pile of puppies in a kennel or something, said forward Mary Anne OConnor.Marquis said once she had that medal around her neck, she kept it there. She now wears it on a silver chain.Not too often do I take the medal off, she said. I like for people to see it.Before the players could receive their medals, Lieberman was selected for a random drug test, but had a problem providing a sample with some standing over her.I finally was able to go to the bathroom, and America has not been the same since, she quipped.Callan agrees, saying the win was bigger than that group or that year. Todays players, she said owe a lot to the 1976 team.They started it all, she said. They set the standard for how womens basketball teams have had success at the Olympics through great individual talent, a group that played together well as a team and enjoyed the journey along the way.
