ALBANY, N.Y. -- An investigation launched by New Yorks inspector general after a pro fighter suffered nearly fatal injuries concluded the state boxing commission was plagued by deficient practices, limited oversight and conflicts of interest.Inspector General Catherine Leahy Scott said her offices probe into the New York State Athletic Commission was prompted by the severe brain injuries and poor post-fight treatment suffered by heavyweight Magomed Abdusalamov in 2013 at Madison Square Garden.Investigators said the fighter walked outside afterward, vomited, then was taken by his handlers in a 15-minute taxi ride to Roosevelt Hospital, though there were ambulances available at the arena. He had emergency surgery for bleeding in his brain.The commissions lack of appropriate emergency medical protocols and oversight procedures, as well as clear conflicts of interest among senior staff, reflect a systemic breakdown of its most basic operations, Scott said Monday. With the commission poised to regulate mixed martial arts in addition to pro boxing, she said reforms are imperative.She recommended standard pre-fight and post-fight physical and neurological examinations, giving communications devices to all staff, having a tactical emergency plan to address medical issues at any time and ethics training.New Yorks Department of State, which oversees the commission, said it has taken steps to implement many of Scotts recommendations. Commission Chairman Tom Hoovers resignation was accepted, the department said.Hoover was criticized in the report for permitting friends and relatives to obtain credentials allowing them to attend pro boxing matches for free.His predecessor, Melvina Lathan, resigned as chair in 2015 in the wake of the investigation, according to the Inspector Generals Office. She and other staff were faulted by investigators for receiving improper gifts from boxing promoters, including wine and jewelry.Investigators found there was confusion about the diagnoses and recommendations from Abdusalamovs post-fight medical examinations, no complete post-fight emergency plan in place and limited interpreter services for the fighter who primarily spoke Russian.Abdusalamov, a former Russian amateur champion, was an unbeaten professional until his 10-round loss to Mike Perez that night. He remains disabled.---Online:https://ig.ny.gov/sites/default/files/pd...PORT7-25-16.pdfWholesale Authentic Jordans . -- Lou Brocks shoulder-to-shoulder collision with Bill Freehan during the 1968 World Series and Pete Roses bruising hit on Ray Fosse in the 1970 All-Star game could become relics of baseball history, like the dead-ball era.

It was just enough to help lift Golden State to a 102-101 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday night.BOSTON -- All-Star second baseman Dustin Pedroia is close to a contract that could keep him with the Boston Red Sox for his entire big league career. A person with knowledge of the talks said Tuesday that Pedroia is in the process of agreeing to a deal adding $100 million over seven seasons through 2021. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the agreement was not yet complete. The new deal was first reported by WEEI. Pedroia is making $10 million this year and is guaranteed the same amount in 2014 as part of a $40.5 million, six-year contract that started in 2009. That deal includes an $11 million club option for 2015 with a $500,000 buyout. The 5-foot-8, 165-pound sparkplug was the AL Rookie of the Year in 2007 and AL MVP in 2008. Its important to Pedroia to finish his career in Boston. The deal would expire after he turns 38. "Its not official or anything, but, yeah, this is my home," he said before Tuesday nights game against the Tampa Bay Rays. "I love being here. I love my teammates. I love the city. So if (the deal is finalized), Ill be pretty excited." Pedroia is a big reason for Bostons success. The Red Sox began play Tuesday with a half-game lead over the Rays in the AL East with a 60-41 record after winning just 69 games last season. In 100 games through Monday, Pedroia was hitting .308 with six homers and 57 RBIs. He made only two errors and missed just one game. A new contract "is not going to change who I am or my role with this team," he said. "My job is to still go out there and try to help us win a game every day and Ill try to do all I can to make thatt happen.dddddddddddd." The 29-year-old was a backup on the AL all-star team this season and entered the game after starter Robinson Cano was hit by a pitch. Cano can become a free agent after this season, his ninth with the New York Yankees. Pedroia might have received a better deal than the one thats close to agreement if he had become a free agent after the 2014 or 2015 seasons. "I dont look at it like that," he said. "I want to be at a place where its special to me and this place has been that." And he doesnt expect a rich contract to change the way his teammates look at him. "They still have to look down at me. Im pretty short," Pedroia joked, "but its a good feeling." In 956 games through Monday, Pedroia had a .303 career batting average, 96 homers and 466 RBIs. A second-round pick of the Red Sox in the 2004 amateur draft, Pedroia made his major league debut in August 2006. He hit .191 in 31 games that season then had his breakout season in 2007 when Boston won its second World Series championship in four years. He hit .317 with eight homers and 50 RBIs. He did even better in 2008 with a .326 batting average, 17 homers and 83 RBIs, winning a Gold Glove and Silver Slugger award. In 2011, Pedroia posted career highs of 21 homers and 91 RBIs with a .307 batting average. He dipped slightly last year with a .290 average, 15 homers and 65 RBIs as the Red Sox finished in last place in the AL East with a 69-93 record under manager Bobby Valentine. "I love being here," Pedroia said. "I live and die by this team and its important to me to be here my whole time." ' ' '
