RIO DE JANEIRO -- Indian officials have called a non-issue reports that sports minister Vijay Goels accreditation was under threat following allegations of misbehaviour, by him and his entourage, by the Games Organising Committee. A senior official said the chef de mission had received no warning though he did acknowledge that an incident did indeed take place.A PTI report quoted a strongly worded letter from Sarah Peterson, continental manager for the Rio 2016 Organising Committee, to Indian chef-de-mission Rakesh Gupta. The letter said the OC had received multiple reports of Goel trying to enter accredited areas at venues with unaccredited individuals and responding with aggressive and rude behaviour when confronted.Goel is in Rio to cheer for the Indian contingent besides monitoring their requirements at the Games Village.Peterson said the ministers accreditation could be cancelled because of this. Should our protocol team be made aware of further examples of this type of behaviour, the accreditation of your minister for sports will be cancelled and his privileges at the Olympic Games withdrawn, she said. We trust you will pass on this message urgently.In a statement issued in response, Gupta said: At the completion of the India-Japan game when India did well, the minister was invited by the team to interact with the players. He went down to the field with the volunteers of the Organising Committee and met the players. However the moment it was brought to his notice he left the field and met the players outside. Since then, whenever the minister has visited the field of play at any venue, he has done so with a special pass. It is unfortunate that a non-issue is being made an issue without any reason.Tyrone Hill Cavaliers Jersey . Fellow centre Pavel Datsyuk remains out because of a concussion.

The defence is doing its part, too.

Hey Kerry, big fan of yours, just finished reading your book. I think that we all saw the Canucks/Flames line brawl just after puck drop. It was obvious that something was about to happen, even to the referees because the fourth lines were on to start.Finally on track after a disastrous start to the season, West Ham United seek their first winning streak of the season Saturday when they host last-place Sunderland at Olympic Stadium.After claiming just one victory from their first six matches, the Hammers (2-1-5) took four points on either side of the international break, posting a draw versus Middlesbrough on Oct. 1 before emerging with a 1-0 victory at Crystal Palace last Saturday. Manuel Lanzini scored in the 19th minute for West Ham, who played the final quarter-hour with 10 men after Aaron Cresswell was booked twice in rapid fashion by referee Martin Atkinson.Im very happy and we needed the three points, Lanzini told West Hams official website. We were coming into the game off the back of some poor results and had made a bad start to the season.But we managed to get the win in what was a tough game and we have to carry on in this vein.Doing so at home has been a sore spot as the Hammers are transitioning from the cauldron-like atmosphere of Upton Park to their new London digs. After opening Premier League play in Olympic Stadium with a 1-0 victory over Bournemouth on Aug. 21, West Ham are winless in three (0-1-2) there while being outscored 8-3.But the creaky defence that shipped 14 goals during a four-match skid has tightened to concede just one in the last two matches. Manager Slaven Bilic feels the win has lifted spirits around the team, and that theyre ready to get back to showing the form that resulted in a top-seven finish last season.I hope that period for us is over now, Bilic said, referring to the losing streak. You can talk, you can analyse, you be positive but the thing that gets the confidence back is if you win a game, especially with a clean sheet in a London derby.Cresswells absence via suspension will cause some headaches for Bilic since fellow left back Arthur Masuaku is also unavailable due to injury.While West Ham appear to be putting their early season struggles behind them, the fall once more continues to be anything but kind to Sunderland (0-2-6). Rooted to the bottom of the table, this is the seventh consecutive season the Black Cats are entering the ninth matchday with two wins or fewer and the fifth straight with one or no victories.David Moyes team needs a draw to equal last seasons horrid start, which then required Sam Allardyce to extricate Sunderland from their annual lengthy flirtation with the drop.ddddddddddddThis time around, Moyes continues to struggle to find answers offensively as the Black Cats have a Premier League-worst six goals and were blanked 2-0 at Stoke City last weekend.But team chairman Martin Bain spoke to their official website and is giving his full backing to Moyes as the two try to rebuild a team with an eye on restoring the clubs identity over the long haul.I think its apparent to everyone that we have a journey to embark upon here, so when I first met David we obviously had to discuss a little bit about the past, but together, working as a partnership, its very much about how we cant change the past but we can certainly change the future, Bain said.We went to get back to the basics and we have a football club here that has to be very synonymous with its north-east identity, and I think the fans want that because -- this isntt to be disparaging to anything thats gone before -- I think its probably lost its identity, so therefore lets do the basics correctly, build and take a long-term approach.Moyes has yet to find a successful approach outside the Stadium of Light thus far, with Sunderland taking one point from four matches and only Jermaine Defoe scoring. The former England national has both road goals, and the Black Cats have scored just one goal in the run of play in those 360 minutes.Autumn struggles, however, have been the norm this decade rather than the exception. In the past seven seasons, Sunderland are a ghastly 1-14-16 in road matches spanning the first nine matchdays of each campaign. The lone victory being a 2-0 triumph at Bolton Wanderers exactly five years ago to Saturdays match date of Oct. 22.West Ham are unbeaten in their last six (3-3-0) against Sunderland since a 3-0 loss in the North East on Jan. 12, 2013. Like most teams, the Black Cats are hoping Olympic Stadium will bring better fortunes than Upton Park -- Sunderland have not breached the Hammers goal in London for the past 351 minutes, going 0-2-2 in that span.
