NEW YORK -- Alex Rodriguez ended his extended and
acrimonious fight with Major League Baseball on Friday,
withdrawing a pair of lawsuits and accepting a season-
long suspension that marks the longest penalty in the
sports history related to performance-enhancing drugs.

. Rodriguez, who has steadfastly denied using banned
substances while with the New York Yankees, made the
decision nearly four weeks after arbitrator Fredric
Horowitz largely upheld the discipline issued last summer
by baseball Commissioner Bud Selig. "I think its a good
move for him," former Commissioner Fay Vincent said. "A-
Rod had no chance legally, and the commissioner got his
authority validated." Rodriguez was among 14 players
suspended last summer following MLBs investigation of a
Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned
substances. Given the harshest punishment, A-Rod was the
only player to contest his penalty. The Major League
Baseball Players Association filed a grievance, arguing
Rodriguezs 211-game ban was unwarranted or at the very
least excessive. Rodriguez also sued MLB and Selig in
October, accusing them of "vigilante justice" as part of
a "witch hunt" against him. Horowitz presided over 12
days of hearings last fall highlighted by Rodriguezs
decision not to testify. Horowitz concluded on Jan. 11
there was "clear and convincing evidence" Rodriguez used
three banned substances over the course of three years --
human growth hormone, testosterone and Insulin-like
growth factor 1. Horowitz also ruled A-Rod twice tried to
obstruct baseballs investigation, but he nonetheless
reduced the suspension to 162 games plus the 2014 post-
season after weighing it against baseballs "just cause"
standard. Rodriguez sued MLB and the union two days later
in federal court in Manhattan, claiming the arbitration
process was flawed. But the Supreme Court has established
narrow grounds for overturning arbitrators decisions, and
legal experts said Rodriguez had virtually no chance of
succeeding in his attempt to have Horowitzs decision
vacated. Without making any admissions, Rodriguezs
lawyers filed notices of dismissal in both cases Friday.
MLB issued a low-key statement calling the decision to
end the litigation "prudent." "We believe that Mr.
Rodriguezs actions show his desire to return the focus to
the play of our great game on the field and to all of the
positive attributes and actions of his fellow major
league players," the sport said. "We share that desire."
Rodriguez had angered many of his fellow players by suing
his own union in an attempt to avoid a suspension.
Withdrawing the lawsuits was perhaps the start of mending
relationships with fellow players. "Alex Rodriguez has
done the right thing by withdrawing his lawsuit," the
union said in a statement. "His decision to move forward
is in everyones best interest." Rodriguez in 2009
admitted he used banned substances from 2001-03 while
with Texas, before baseball had penalties in place for
PEDs. After MLBs investigation was sparked 13 months ago
by a report in Miami New Times, Rodriguez repeatedly said
he had not failed any drug test and claimed evidence
provided to MLB by Anthony Bosch, founder of the
Biogenesis of America clinic, was not trustworthy. When
Horowitz issued his decision, the three-time AL MVP
defiantly proclaimed, "No player should have to go
through what I have been dealing with." He announced, "I
am exhausting all options to ensure not only that I get
justice, but that players contracts and rights are
protected." But a few hours after the Arizona
Diamondbacks became the first team this year to start
spring training workouts, and with the Yankees a week
from opening camp, Rodriguez folded quietly. He was in
Miami on Friday and made no public remarks. "The
statements that were issued say everything that needs to
be said. We have no further comments on this matter,"
Joseph Tacopina, one of Rodriguezs nine attorneys, said
in an email. Tacopina said Rodriguez no longer intended
to report this month to the Yankees training camp in
Tampa, Fla. Suspensions only cover regular-season games
and the post-season, with exhibitions specifically
exempted. Rodriguez will lose most of his $25 million
salary -- Horowitz ruled he is entitled to 21-183rds,
which comes to $2,868,852.46. The third baseman will be
39 when he is eligible to return in a year, and he has
incentive to play during the final three seasons of his
contract. The Yankees owe him $21 million in 2015 and $20
million in each of the final two seasons of the record
$275 million, 10-year deal. But the 14-time All-Star has
been hobbled by injuries in recent years and has not
played a full season since 2007. The timing of Rodriguezs
decision was set in motion by U.S. District Judge Edgardo
Ramos, who on Jan. 30 told the players lawyers to respond
by Friday to arguments from MLB and the union that the
case should be dismissed. Rodriguez does have one lawsuit
remaining. He sued Yankees physician Dr. Christopher
Ahmad and New York-Presbyterian Hospital in New York
State Supreme Court in October, claiming they mishandled
his medical care during the 2012 AL playoffs. Rodriguez
later was diagnosed with a hip injury that required
surgery and did not return to the Yankees until Aug. 5 --
hours after his suspension was announced by Selig.

ikot-julian-brandt.html . -- The road to the
Masters got off to a bumpy start Sunday for Tiger Woods
when he withdrew from the Honda Classic with what he said
was a lower back injury.MONTREAL - A long-awaited
showdown turned into a one-sided victory for Jean Pascal.
The former light heavyweight champion dominated a
tentative and powerless Lucian Bute en route to a
unanimous decision victory on Saturday night in the clash
of former world title holders from Montreal. The result
disappointed many among the 20,479 at the Bell Centre,
whose competing chants appeared to favour Bute by about a
two-to-one margin. But the match billed as the biggest
ever between two Canadians, which reportedly paid each
fighter $2 million, belonged to 31-year-old Pascal from
the outset. "Ive waited seven years for this," said
Pascal (29-2-1). "When I go into the ring, I want to
dominate. "That was my game plan — dominate all the
time. Go in and out. To be vicious, active, explosive,
and thats what I did from start to finish." The three
judges agreed, giving scores of 117-110, 117-111 and 116-
112. The Canadian Press gave Pascal every round except
the 12th, when he backed into a corner and let Bute (31-
2) swing away in a last gasp attempt for a knockout.
Pascal took Butes minor NABF title and something called
the WBC diamond belt, but more importantly, he settled
who was best between the two fighters who rose to the top
together in the same city without ever facing one
another. It turned into a dud of a fight, with Bute often
looking confused and unwilling to go on attack. "Jean
Pascal was the better fighter and deserved to win," the
33-year-old Bute said. "Why I let the fight go like that
I dont know. "Ill have to go over the fight many times
with my team." If there is a silver lining for the
Romanian-born Bute, it was that he stayed on his feet and
his chin held up despite repeated blows from Pascal. His
chin has been a concern since May 2012, when his five-
year reign as IBF super-middleweight champion came to an
end in a crushing loss in only five rounds to Carl Froch
in England. Suddenly, a fighter who had always taken
command in the ring looked fragile, and complaints that
his record had been built against B-level opponents
looked plausible. But after losing to Pascal, he made it
clear his career is not finished. He even told the crowd
he wants a rematch. "Its for you to say if I have a chin
or not," he said. "I took a lot of punches and I didnt go
down." He came out of it with a badly swollen left eye,
and his nose was cut open in the 10th round. Pascal
certainly surprised him. Instead of his usual all-out
aggression in the early rounds, Pascal elected to hold
back, counter with sharp rights when the southpaw Bute
fired a shot, and then launch into quick-strike attacks
near the end to make sure he won the rounds. He did it
over and over and Bute never seemed to find an answer. "I
followed my game plan to the letter," said Pascal. Pascal
was on the rebound from losing his WBC light heavyweight
belt in 2011 to wily veteran Bernard Hopkins, who waited
as he blew himself out early and then dominated the later
rounds. This time, Pascal added new blood to his
entourage, including his boyhood idol Roy Jones Jr., and
came back as a smarter fighter, although hhe still throws
a lot of wild punches.

Draxler. He felt the bout was one-sided because of
his tactics and execution and not, despite appearances,
because Bute is still gun-shy from the Froch fight.
Pascal expects to face another opponents before
considering a rematch with Bute, but who that will be in
a mystery. His contract with promoter Yvon Michel ended
with the Bute bout, although he may re-sign and wants to
stay in Montreal. While Pascal and Bute were recovering
from their setbacks and fighting sparingly in the last
two years, another Montreal fighter Adonis Stevenson
jumped in to take the light heavyweight belt. A Pascal-
Stevenson bout is unlikely for at least a year, his camp
said. In the co-feature, heavyweights Mike Perez and
Carlos Takam fought to a 10-round majority draw. The
crowd booed as Perez (20-0-1) and Takam (28-1-1) spent
most of the bout with their heads locked together,
trading short range blows to the head and body. The
southpaw Perez suffered a cut from a headbutt in the
third round that hampered his performance. The Frenchman
Takams best moment was late in the sixth when he rocked
Perez with a right. Ringside judges scored it 96-94, 95-
95 and 95-95. Perez, a Cuban living in Ireland, had Mago
written on his trunks in honour of Russian Magomed
Abdusalamov, whose career he ended with a 10-round
victory on Nov. 2 in New York. Abdusalamov spent a month
after the bout in an enduced coma and remains in a rehab
centre unable to walk or talk. Eleider Alvarez (14-0) of
Montreal was supposed to be in the co-feature against
veteran Thomas Oosthuisen, but the South African pulled
out with an injury. His replacement, Ottawas Andrew
Gardiner (10-1), put on a gutsy show, winning some of the
middle rounds, until he was stung at the end of the
eighth and the gifted Colombian took back control.
Alvarez got the decision 99-91, 96-93 and 97-93. At the
end, the crowd cheered Gardiner and booed Alvarez, who
had refused to touch gloves with his opponent after the
bout after something was said to him from Gardiners
corner. Welterweight Mikael Zewski (23-0) of Trois-
Rivieres, Que., had a tough opponent in Krzysztof Szot
(18-10-1) in that the Polish fighter had never been
stopped or even knocked down. This time, Szot went down
in the fifth and twice more in the seventh before the ref
stopped the bout. Light middleweight Yves Ulysse (1-0) of
Montreal showed his speed and attacking style as he won
his pro debut by stopping Vango Tsirimokos (6-4) of
Belgium in four rounds. Bantamweight Sebastien Gauthier
(22-4-1) of St-Jerome, Que. battled to a majority draw
with Javier Franco (20-11-3) of Mexico. Montreal-based
Russian light heavyweight Artur Beterbiev (4-0) stopped
French southpaw Gabriel Lecrosnier (16-26-3) in four
rounds, and Colombian heavyweight Oscar Rivas (13-0)
stopped lefty Shawn Cox of Trinidad (16-5) in three.
Notes _ Lightweight Tony Luis (17-2) of Cornwall, Ont.,
was knocked down in the first round and went on to lose a
10-round unanimous decision to Ivan Redkach (16-0) of
Ukraine on Friday night in Memphis. Scores were 99-90,
97-92 and 97-93. "I thought it was a much, much closer
fight," said Luis.
