The International Olympic Committee has issued severe reprimands to Team GB boxer Anthony Fowler and Irish fighters Michael Conlan and Steven Donnelly for betting on the boxing competition at Rio 2016, contrary to Olympic rules.As there is no suggestion they were trying to fix results, the trio have escaped without bans but have been told they must take part in integrity education programmes.Fowler placed seven bets on bouts during the first week of the boxing competition, including at least one unsuccessful wager involving a British teammate.Conlan, who is expected to turn pro soon, made a number of bets during the first weekend of the competition, all for relatively small amounts.Donnelly, however, actually bet on himself to lose his first-round fight against Tuvshinbat Byamba of Mongolia but avoided a more serious sanction as he won the fight. His bets were accumulators that would have returned a large payout if he had got every result right.Donnelly told the panel he had not read the gambling rules properly and had only made the bet against himself as it would have been some compensation if he had lost. He also said he placed the bets because there was not much to do in the athletes village.As well as punishing the boxers, there are also reprimands for the British Olympic Association and Olympic Council of Ireland for failing to educate their athletes that they are not allowed to gamble on Olympic events.Boxings governing body AIBA was also told to check its rules comply with the IOCs and that it has sufficient education programmes in place.Protecting the integrity of sport at the Olympic Games is a top priority for the International Olympic Committee, the IOC said in a written statement.It added that a number of new measures were put in place for Rio 2016, including a joint integrity intelligence unit and a reinforced integrity betting intelligence system.These reprimands cap very disappointing Games for the fighters, particularly the highly-fancied Conlan. A bronze medallist at London 2012 and world champion in 2015, the 24-year-old bantamweight was controversially beaten in the quarter-finals by Russian Vladimir Nikitin.Conlan reacted furiously to a result that looked even stranger a day later when AIBA sent several judges and a leading official home amid widespread criticism of the scoring.The 25-year-old Fowler, a cousin of former Liverpool striker Robbie Fowler, was well beaten in his only fight in Rio, while Donnelly also lost in the quarterfinals.

Marie, Ont., team took control of the game early. Red Bull boss Christian Horner has labelled Mercedes management naive for not anticipating Lewis Hamiltons tactic of backing up Nico Rosberg at the title-deciding Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.Hamiltons spent the final stint of the evening race driving well below full capacity in an attempt to push teammate and title rival Rosberg into the clutches of Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen, which ultimately failed. Hamilton later reasoned that it was the only thing he could have done given the fact he needed Rosberg to finish off the podium to claim a fourth world title.Mercedes boss Toto Wolff admitted he was in two minds about Hamiltons strategy, as the three-time world champion ignored a team order to pick up the pace. Horner, who had predicted the tactic going into the race weekend and defended Hamilton immediately afterwards, cannot understand why Mercedes management was surprised at how the final laps unfolded.With where tthey were at, it was just down to those two guys, Horner said.dddddddddddd So it was only ever going to be that kind of battle between the two of them. Congratulations to Nico, he has driven a great season. He is a very worthy world champion, but it was na?ve to think that there would be any different approach to this race with what is at stake.Horner also took another swipe at Wolffs decision to call Max Verstappens father, Jos, ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix, and suggested the Austrian take more time to talk to his own drivers than worry about the business of other teams.I understand that Toto has suggested that Lewis follow my instruction rather than his, and that he should come and drive for Red Bull! Maybe it works better to talk directly to the driver rather than their father... ' ' '
