AP Sports Wrap from Saturday, July 23 2016

CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago White Sox ace Chris Sale was scratched from his start against the Detroit Tigers on Saturday night after he was involved in what the team said was a "non-physical clubhouse incident."

Sale reportedly expressed displeasure of having to wear one of the White Sox "throwback" uniforms.

Sale was to attempt to become the majors' first 15-game winner. Instead he was sent home from the park. The team is withholding comment until "further investigation." The White Sox held a team meeting before the game.

The White Sox marketing department described the night as the "Throwback Game." It announced the team would wear collared, blue and white V-neck jerseys first worn during the 1976 season.

The players instead wore more conventional, throwback white jerseys with no collar and no navy.

The White Sox and Tigers were tied 3-3 after eight innings when the rains came and game was suspended. It will be completed prior to Sunday's game.

NEW YORK (AP) — The WNBA has withdrawn its fines for teams that showed support of citizens and police involved in recent shootings by wearing black warmup shirts before games.

WNBA President Lisa Borders said the league was rescinding penalties given to the Indiana Fever, New York Liberty, Phoenix Mercury and their players for wearing the shirts during pregame protests, which began after shootings in Minnesota and Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Each organization was fined $5,000 and players were each given a $500 penalty because WNBA rules stated that uniforms may not be altered in any way. The normal fine for uniform violations is $200.

IOC-RUSSIAN DOPING

IOC leaders meet to consider Olympic ban on Russia

LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — Olympic leaders are meeting to consider whether to impose a total ban on Russian athletes from the Rio de Janeiro Games because of state-sponsored doping.

The International Olympic Committee's ruling executive board is meeting Sunday via teleconference to decide on sanctions following new allegations of a government-backed doping program involving Russian athletes in summer and winter sports.

Russia's track and field athletes have already been banned by the IAAF, the sport's governing body, a decision that was upheld Thursday by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The World Anti-Doping agency and other anti-doping bodies have recommended a ban on Russia's entire team.

The IOC has said it would seek a balance between "collective punishment" and "individual justice."

Short of a complete ban, the IOC could let individual sports federations decide whether to allow Russian athletes in their events.
