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of behaviour, the accreditation of your minister for sports will be cancelled and his privileges at the Olympic Games withdrawn, she said.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.Greg Pateryn Jersey . -- Vincent Lecavalier got everything but the desired result in his return to Tampa Bay.

Didier Drogba gave away the penalty that put Senegal one goal away from a major upset, but the veteran striker will get another chance -- probably his last -- at the World Cup after Salomon Kalous injury-time strike sealed the Ivorians place in Brazil next year.MONTREAL -- While the Montreal Canadiens appear on the verge of getting their starting goaltender back, the Arizona Coyotes will be without theirs for at least one game.Starter Mike Smith suffered a lower-body injury in the third period of the Coyotes 7-4 loss to the Ottawa Senators on Tuesday night and was replaced by Montreal native Louis Domingue. The 24-year-old made his first NHL start at the Bell Centre on Feb. 1, 2015, when he overcame two first period goals-against before helping the Coyotes to a 3-2 comeback win.Last season, he took over between the pipes while Smith missed approximately three months while recovering from injury.Hes done this before, Arizona coach Dave Tippett told the teams website. Hes a veteran of jumping in and being the lead guy for a team when a goaltender goes down ... He came in and played really well last year and we expect the same from him this year. Hes matured as a player and as a person. Hes done it before, theres no reason to believe he cant do it again.The Coyotes (1-1-0) will be looking to bounce back after Tuesdays effort. Trailing 3-2 when Smith went down, the Senators scored a pair quickly and the visitors never recovered.After (Smith) goes down, they get two quick ones and thats tough, Arizona forward Jordan Martinook said to NHL.com following the game. With Louis coming in there, you cant fault him on any of those but they get the two quick ones and were pretty much out of it, were just chasing.Montreal, meanwhile, could have Carey Price baack for his first start in nearly 11 months.dddddddddddd Sidelined with a flu bug for about a week, during which time he says he lost about seven or eight pounds, which drained his energy, Price participated in his first full team practice on Wednesday. Hell see how he feels energy-wise on Thursday before deciding on his playing status.The Canadiens (2-0-1) have fared well in his absence thanks to strong efforts from back-up Al Montoya. The 31-year-old was sharp in the first period against the Penguins on Tuesday, stopping all 17 shots he faced, and kept at it the rest of the night en route to a 36-save effort in 4-0 win over the defending Stanley Cup champions.He just looks so calm. He reminded me a lot of Pricey (Carey Price), defenseman Nathan Beaulieu said of Montoya. He was seeing everything, making everything look easy, and he made some really difficult saves, especially early on.Its nice knowing that we have two goalies that can step in and do the job.It was also a good night for a couple of Montreal forwards who sputtered offensively in the first two games. Center David Desharnais scored twice and left winger Max Pacioretty showed off his talent with a goal just 23 seconds into the game and a no-look backhand feed to Desharnais in the third period. With both looked upon to produce, especially Pacioretty, both had just one assist heading into the game. ' ' '
