The International Olympic Committee is looking at a new test for gene doping, although it wont be used at the Rio de Janeiro Games, the IOCs medical and scientific director said.The new test -- developed in Australia to identify if an athlete is artificially adjusting their DNA to enhance performance -- is not yet in use at a World Anti-Doping Agency-accredited laboratory, Dr. Richard Budgett told The Associated Press.But the new procedure, when and if approved by WADA, will be used to test samples from the Rio Olympics after the games to see if any athletes were gene doping, Budgett said.The samples collected in Rio will at some point be tested for gene doping (after the games), but we have a principle, we will not put in place a test that hasnt actually been used yet by a WADA-accredited laboratory, Budgett said in a phone interview.The IOC can re-test doping samples up to 10 years after an Olympics, enabling it to catch drug cheats who evaded detection at the time when new testing methods become available.The gene doping test is designed to detect if cheats are injecting synthetic genes which cause the body to produce more of the naturally-occurring hormone EPO, which in turn boosts the bodys ability to carry more oxygen in its blood.There is already a test to pick up if athletes are directly injecting EPO, the substance at the heart of the Lance Armstrong doping scandal in cycling. This test is designed to pick up if subtle changes have been made to DNA to make the body produce the extra EPO.There had been reports that the IOC was going to introduce the gene doping test to its program at next months Rio Games. But the test isnt ready yet, Budgett said late Thursday from Rio.We will absolutely not experiment at the Olympic Games. We will use tests that are validated by WADA and for which the reference material is available, Budgett said. As I understand it, Im told the reference material for this new gene doping EPO test is not available yet. So, when it is, then the testing will be done.Nick Easton Jersey .

LONDON -- Top-seeded Andy Murray and defending champion Marin Cilic will contest the final at Queens Club after both claimed three-set victories on Saturday. Murray, the champion in 2009 and 2011, rallied to defeat fourth-seeded Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in a repeat of their 2011 final, and fifth-seeded Cilic of Croatia held off former four-time winner Lleyton Hewitt 6-4, 4-6, 6-2. Murray will play for his 27th career title and first since he won at Key Biscayne in March, while Cilic will be bidding for the 10th title of his career. His last tournament victory came in February on home soil in Zagreb. Tsonga held the upper hand over Murray in the opening set of their semifinal, failing to convert any of his three break points at 2-2 but breaking to lead 5-4 when Murray double-faulted. The Frenchman missed two more break points at 3-3 in the second set before Murray broke for a 5-3 lead when Tsonga netted a backhand. In the last set, Murray broke for 2-1 on his seventh break point, and all but secured victory when he brroke again at love to lead 4-1.dddddddddddd "I think most of the matches there has been patches where I played a high level, and all the matches its been parts where, you know, I have been a little bit inconsistent or just played a couple of sloppy games," Murray said. "I managed to find ways to win the matches, which is important, and Im playing well. Im hitting the ball well. Just sometimes making some bad choices or some poor mistakes." Cilic and Hewitt managed to complete just two games, with Cilic leading 2-0, before rain forced them off the grass court for more than two hours. To complete both semifinals before dark, their match was moved to court one in order that the higher-ranked Murray and Tsonga could play on centre court. Upon the resumption, Hewitt held three break points to level at 5-5 but Cilic held serve to win the set. Hewitt swept five straight games on his way to taking the securray and Tsonga could play on centre court.
