Indias Yogeshwar Dutt has asked wrestling authorities to let the London Olympics 60kg wrestling silver medal remain with the family of the deceased Russian wrestler Besik Kudukhov, who had been stripped of the medal following a positive dope test.On Tuesday, Kudukhovs silver was formally awarded to Yogeshwar, who had lost to the Russian in the quarterfinals. Kudukhov, a four-time world champion, died in a car crash in 2013. He failed a World Anti-Doping Agency dope test conducted on his sample from 2012 before the Rio Games.Medal jaane se unke parivaar ko takleef hogi 100% (Kudukhovs family would be pained for sure when the medal is taken away from them), Yogeshwar told ESPN. For his mother and father, that medal contains memories of their child and that is all they have left with them today.The news about the upgrade to the London silver, rather than bring him any satisfaction, Yogeshwar said, had kept him awake at night.I had heard about his death in 2013 and if Kudukhov was alive it was a different thing but he is no more, he said. Yesterday I thought about his parents and his family. We cant do anything for them who today only have his memories with them. Failed ho ya kuch bhi ho, yeh woh medal usi ke paas rahe. Yaadein hi hai uski, uski family ke paas?(Whether he failed his dope test or not, that medal should stay with his family. That medal contains special memories for his family, that is all they have of him.) I would not like that medal or anything taken away from his family through which they remember him. Usko soch ke laga ki yeh theek rahega?(When I thought about it I felt this would be best).When Yogeshwar was informed about his upgrade from a bronze to a silver medal, he said: Mere ko khushi nahi hui (It brought me no happiness). I have my bronze medal with me. Ab koi farak nahin padta kya hai, kya nahi hai (It doesnt matter now what is with you and what is not).The wrestler, who is currently based in Madhuban with the Haryana Police, said he had not been able to recover from his disappointment over Rio. Ive still not been able to work out what happened there and I know I could not fulfil what I had set out to do, he said.Earlier in the day, Yogeshwar offered to forgo his silver through Twitter.Besik Kudukhov ?????? ?????? ??? ???? ?????? ?? ?????? dope test ??? fail ?? ???? ???? ???? ??? ??????? ?? ??? ??? ???? ?????? ???? ????- Yogeshwar Dutt (@DuttYogi) 31 August 2016Translation: Besik Kudukhov was a magnificent wrestler. His dope test returning positive after his death is very sad. I respect him as a sportsman.??? ?? ??? ?? ?? ???? ????? ?? ??? ???? ???? ???? ???? ?????? ?? ??? ?? ??????????? ????? ???? ??? ?????? ??????? ???????? ???- Yogeshwar Dutt (@DuttYogi) 31 August 2016Translation: If possible this medal should remain with him. It will also be respectful to his family. For me human compassion is above all else.Yogeshwar had bowed out in the first round of mens 65kg freestyle at the recently concluded Rio Olympic Games. Martinas Rankin Jersey . "Jeff is a hard worker who was an important special-teams contributor for us last season," said Stamps GM John Hufnagel. Damien Wilson Jersey .J. -- Marshawn Lynch said Thursday it will be good to get back to football after the Seattle quiet talking running back wrapped up his final mandatory media session of Super Bowl week. http://www.prochiefsauthentic.com/Youth-Chris-Jones-Elite-Jersey/ . The native of Mont-Tremblant, Que., captured a World Cup downhill event Saturday, his second this year and fifth career victory on the circuit. Tony Gonzalez Jersey . Each of Houstons starters scored in double figures as the Rockets improved to 2-0 against the Spurs this season, with both victories coming on the road. They also moved within 3 1/2 games of San Antonio (22-7) for the lead the Southwest Division. Darrel Williams Jersey . PETERSBURG, Fla. GREEN BAY, Wis. -- As reporters encircled Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers at his locker, linebacker Clay Matthews hurried past and shouted out in jest perhaps the most important question of the week.A-Rod, are you playing? Matthews yelled.Oh yes, Rodgers plans to play Sunday against the Chicago Bears . He just didnt practice Wednesday to focus on rehabbing his leg injuries, a plan coach Mike McCarthy said will likely stay in place for the quarterback through Thursday.McCarthy said Rodgers told him not to hold anything back for the game plan against the Bears as Green Bay seeks a fourth consecutive victory as they chase a spot in the playoffs.Im very optimistic by nature. So we can always take things out. Its harder to add things back in, Rodgers said. So get everything in, and if theres anything weve got to take out on Sunday, well do that.The Packers (7-6) have won three straight heading into a three-game stretch to end the regular season against NFC North foes. Tied with Minnesota for second at two games behind Detroit, Green Bay needs help to return to the playoffs an eighth straight season.Rodgers hurt his left hamstring a few weeks ago against the Eagles. He hurt his right calf while throwing a 66-yard touchdown pass to Davante Adams on the third play of the 38-10 victory last weekend over the Seattle Seahawks.Im feeling better. I appreciate the time to rehab. With an injury like this, its really about maximizing rehab time, Rodgers said Wednesday. So I got to get a couple extra hours there with the training staff. It was good.The leg injuries have limited Rodgers mobility. The two-time NFL MVP was still able to dissect the Seattle defense for 246 yards and three touchdowns on 18-of-23 passing before leaving early in the fourth quarter with his team up by four scores.Oh yeah, I mean, Aaron Rodgers is as tough as anybody Ive ever known, McCarthy said.He recalled one instance in Rodgers first season as the starter in 2008 when he sprained his right shoulder against Tampa. McCarthy wasnt sure how limited Rodgers arm might bee the next week against Atlanta.ddddddddddddThen late in the first quarter of the Falcons game, McCarthy called a deep shot to Donald Driver on third-and-1, briefly forgetting about Rodgers injury. Rodgers hit the pass, then finished 25 of 37 for 313 yards and three touchdowns.That was a big moment for him and hes done that so many times now, probably things that may not seem as big, McCarthy said. His focus, its extraordinary.TIE IT UPThe NFLs oldest rivalry will have its 194th meeting, but Sundays game could mark a milestone in the series.The Bears lead the series 94-93-6, including a split of two postseason games. A Packers win on Sunday would tie the series for the first time since 1933.While that would be nice, Packers right tackle Bryan Bulaga dont need any extra motivation.I think the motivation is to win the game and keep ourselves in a good place with what we got going on here, Bulaga said. The overall record is what it is ... but its just about winning and playing good football and improving as a team.INJURY REPORTJared Cook was a full participant in practice after the tight end left the Seahawks game late in the second quarter with a chest injury. ... Matthews was a full participant for the first time in a couple weeks, a sign his shoulder injury might be improving. Matthews played mainly in pass-rush situations against Seattle. ... LB Nick Perry (hand) may not practice until Saturday, McCarthy said. The team leader with eight sacks, Perry missed the Seahawks game.TRANSACTIONThe team signed linebacker Jordan Tripp on Wednesday. A fifth-round draft pick of the Dolphins in 2014, Tripp last played with Seattle, appearing in seven games with one start before being placed on injured reserve on Dec. 3. He reached an injury settlement on Dec. 9. Tripp has 11 career tackles.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL---Follow Genaro Armas at: https://twitter.com/GArmasAP ' ' '
