MOSCOW -- A Russian deputy minister who was suspended following allegations he covered up doping cases at the 2014 Winter Olympics has resigned, the government said Monday.Deputy Sports Minister Yuri Nagornykh was the most prominent among a group of sports officials suspended in July by order of President Vladimir Putin following the publication of a World Anti-Doping Agency report which accused them of covering up hundreds of doping cases, including at the Sochi Games.Nagornykh had vehemently denied allegations of a state cover-up, a position shared by the Russian government, but disappeared from public life since the suspension. His departure comes in the run-up to the publication of a fuller version of the WADA report into doping in Russia.A document signed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev and posted on the Russian governments legal database on Monday stated that Nagornykh was removed from his post at his own request, without providing further details.The document was dated last Thursday, the day after Nagornykhs boss, Vitaly Mutko, was promoted from Sports Minister to Deputy Prime Minister, even though he had been barred by the IOC from attending the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro over the doping scandal. The new sports minister is another of Mutkos former deputies, Pavel Kolobkov.Sports Ministry spokeswoman Lyudmila Derevyanko told The Associated Press by telephone she was unsure whether Nagornykhs departure would affect any ongoing investigations into his conduct.

Forget the regular season.Regardless of how hard it is to ignore the 17-1 regular split campaign by Team SoloMid, which broke its own record en route to a first-place seed in the playoffs, it doesnt matter anymore.Counter Logic Gaming made it to the finals of the League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational this past May in what was possibly the greatest feat in North American League history, but even that doesnt matter anymore. Not for this Sunday.Even though this fateful match wont even take place at the League Championship Series (LCS) Summer Finals in Toronto, it will change the legacies of both clubs. The stakes are still high; for the winner of the semifinal between TSM and CLG, a place at the World Championship awaits. The victor will have a guaranteed spot at the biggest tournament of the year due to circuit points, and the loser will need to fight its way in.A loss for CLG will end its dream of becoming the first team in the NA LCS to three-peat a first-place finish in the postseason. A defeat for TSM would even be more dire, washing away an entire season of accolades only to end up with the organizations worst placing in the playoffs. For seven straight seasons, TSM has made it to the finals of the NA LCS, and that could all end if Zaqueri Aphromoo Black and CLG can pull off the hat trick of beating TSM in three consecutive postseason matches.I would have rather waited until finals, Aphromoo, the CLG captain, said of facing TSM in the semifinals. Theyre really good, and its always fun to play them in the finals. But, playing them in semis, oh goodness gracious, I mean, TSM is coming off a 17-1 run. Theyre going to be hella good, and [the semis are] probably going to be the finals that should have been.Theyve definitely upped their game a lot by bringing in [Vincent Biofrost Wang], and Im pretty sure [Yiliang Doublelift Peng] is now the shotcaller; hes directing it a lot now, and I dont think thats weird at all.I just think [Doublelift] learned quite a bit from being on CLG and playing with me a little bit, he continued. Im proud hes now taking the shotcalling role because he has pretty good ideas in directing their team. Definitely helped them a lot during the regular split, but coming up against TSM, its going to be my job to stop that, so Im pretty sure its going to be a bottom-centric matchup. Doublelift/Biofrost versus me and [Trevor Stixxay Hayes].Due to recent channges to the game by developer Riot, the bottom lane has become a war zone between the tag teams of AD carries and supports.dddddddddddd Instead of being able to laneswap at the start, the bot-lane matchup has now become about being able to push the minion wave of your opponent as close to their turret as humanly possible.Although the rivalry between former teammates and bot-lane partners Aphromoo and Doublelift has been a major subplot throughout the year, this weekends semifinal and the balance changes will finally have the two face off for truly the first time since Doublelifts exit from CLG.?Doublelift is a lot more patient [now], Aphromoo said, discussing his former teammates evolution since last season, especially with his support player. When [Bora YellOwStaR Kim] came in, they tried to force the issue [of the two players working together] a lot of the time because they were two world-class players, and they just didnt mesh when they tried to go at it together. They probably took the wrong approach with that.Coming up with Biofrost [as] a rookie player, [it works better because] Doublelift is very good with new supports. I have experience with that because I came in as a fresh support playing with Doublelift. In the beginning hes a little rough, but over time hes had a lot of experience in nurturing young talent, so Biofrost definitely has a senpai [older brother], so to speak, that he can look up to and learn from. I think Biofrosts play has been really exceptional this split playing with [Doublelift], and Id expect nothing less because [we were] Rush Hour, so we know how to play bottom lane.The head-to-head battle that might very well decide which team goes to Worlds will feature two pairs of veterans and apprentices. The first is Doublelift and his protégé Biofrost, the All-LCS support of the split and front-runner for Rookie of the Split award. The second is Aphromoo and Stixxay, the duo that won a playoffs title the first season they played together, and whose rookie half bested Doublelift in last seasons finals to win the series and honor of Finals MVP.Amid former friends turned rivals, each with a new pupil to continue a legacy, the stage is set for the final battle of the year-long feud in the NA LCS semifinals.May the best master win.
