A decision on whether West Indies allrounder Andre Russell breached the World Anti-doping Agency code by being negligent about filing his whereabouts is likely to be announced by an independent anti-doping tribunal in the next two-three weeks.In March this year, the Jamaica Anti-doping Commission (JADCO) alleged that Russell had failed to file his whereabouts on three occasions in 2015, citing the dates of January 1, July 1 and July 25. Under the WADA code if an athlete fails to file their whereabouts three times in a year, it amounts to one failed doping test. If found guilty Russell could face a maximum ban of up to two years.They have promised a decision I think in the next two to three weeks, but a date would be sent to us shortly, Patrick Foster, Russells lawyer, said after both parties made their final submissions in front of the three-member panel on Thursday in Kingston.During the hearing, which lasted nearly six hours, Foster told the tribunal that Russell had always adhered to the rules and had complied with tests, both at the local and international level. Foster stressed there was confusion in communication about the third filing failure, and Russell could not be penalised for no fault of his.According to the Jamaica Observer, while summing up his arguments during Thursdays hearing, Forster reportedly told the tribunal that if firm evidence of negligence was indeed established and Russell was found guilty then, keeping in mind his history of complying with testing protocols in the past, he ought to be banned for not more than one year.Forster, however, insisted that the evidence presented by JADCO against his client was thin. Our contention is to prove an anti-doping violation there must be three filing failures, Forster said. And we have said, based on the evidence that they should not be comfortably satisfied that there have been three filing failures; in which case the complaint should be dismissed. Our position is evidence is not sufficient to disclose three filing failures. And if the three cannot be proved the case cannot be made out.JADCOs legal counsel, Lackston Robinson, did not speak to the media but reportedly told the tribunal that Russells failure to file his whereabouts in 2015 could not be absolved by his compliance with tests in various jurisdictions. Robinson specified that the dates by which Russell had to inform JADCO whether he would be filing his whereabouts were December 31, 2014, June 30, 2015 and July 24, 2015.Robinson said that JADCO had no obligation to prove Russells gross negligence. He stated that as far as JADCO was concerned, the case was simple: Russell had to meet the deadlines for filing his whereabouts and he did not comply.Russell, a sought-after player in T20 leagues around the world, has spoken only once since JADCO laid the charge. In July, while playing the Caribbean Premier League, Russell said he found the allegations stressing and depressing. Russell had also missed the T20I series against Pakistan in the UAE in September.

TUKWILA, Wash. -- Jordan Morris arrived in Seattle last winter with so much hype that meeting the lofty expectations was going to be difficult.Thats why its not simple to define Morris rookie season that included flashes of brilliance, stretches when he disappeared on the field and ultimately helping the floundering Sounders go from the bottom of the Western Conference to again finding themselves in the MLS playoffs.The Sounders rise to an eighth straight playoff appearance could come to an abrupt end Thursday night against Sporting Kansas City in the knockout round of the MLS playoffs. Seattle lost both of its matches against Kansas City this season, losing 1-0 in the season opener at home before a 3-0 loss on the road in July that proved to be the final match before Sigi Schmid was let go as head coach.I think this is a different group. Its definitely different than the game in July, Seattle interim coach Brian Schmetzer said.Whether Seattle can get past Kansas City may depend on how well Morris plays.Morris heads into his first postseason as the team leader with 12 goals and a role that has evolved throughout the season.When he signed in February, Morris was going to work in concert with the duo of Clint Dempsey and Obafemi Martins at the top of Seattles attack.Before the first match of the season, that plan changed after Martins left the Sounders for an offer in China . That put even more expectations on Morris to make up for Martins absence offensively and those hopes weighed heavily on Morris during a scoreless first month of the season.At the start of the year it was tough, he said. A lot of expectations and when I wasnt scoring those first few games people were giving mee a lot of stick.dddddddddddd I read too much into it at the beginning of the year and it definitely affected me. But after that I decided to not look into any of that stuff and just focus on what I could do to help the team. I think that helped. I didnt read Twitter anymore or all that stuff. I let that go.What helped turn Morris was an early-season conversation with Schmid. Schmid told Morris -- who turned 22 on Wednesday -- that it didnt look like he was having fun. And truthfully, he wasnt. He was hearing the criticism that he wasnt worthy of the hype.He was like `you need to have fun. It needs to be the right balance of working hard and having fun, Morris said. I think that conversation was good. It kind of changed how I thought about things and to go out there and have more fun after that.Its helped that Morris has been counted on to be more of a factor in the latter half of his rookie season than anyone anticipated. Dempseys season suddenly ended in late August due to an irregular heartbeat. Thats put more of the offensive responsibility on Morris to control the game at the top of Seattles formation.Morris has played at least 89 minutes in 10 of the past 11 games and while hes without a goal since Sept. 25, Morris back-heel assist last Sunday against Real Salt Lake gave Seattle the exact start it needed in a must-win game.(Were) a determined team, strong team defensively, good goalkeeping, very good midfield play. Jordan, hes a good player, Schmetzer said. We will cause teams problems because were a team, because the team believes they can win. ' ' '
