Appeals court revives NFL drug lawsuit
UNDATED (AP) — A U.S. appeals court has revived a lawsuit against the NFL by former players who claim the league illegally plied them with powerful prescription painkillers to keep them on the field. A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Thursday that the lawsuit is not pre-empted or superseded by labor agreements between players and teams.
The NFL had argued that the players failed to exhaust the grievance procedures in those agreements.
The players say the NFL did not warn them about the long-term consequences of the drugs, which they say have left them with chronic health problems.
In other NFL news:
— Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa did not practice Thursday, leaving his status for the opener against Kansas City in doubt. Bosa was not in pads during the early portion of practice that is open to reporters after being listed as limited on Wednesday’s practice report. The third-year player did not play in the preseason after he injured his left foot on Aug. 7.
— Former Browns linebacker Mychal Kendricks faces up to 25 years in prison after pleading guilty today to insider trading charges. Kendricks signed a one-year contract with the Browns in June after winning a Super Bowl title last season with the Eagles, but he was released after the charges were filed. Federal prosecutors said he used tips from an acquaintance to make about $1.2 million in illegal profits on four major trading deals.
TENNIS-US OPEN
Serena Williams reaches 9th US Open final
NEW YORK (AP) — Serena Williams has reached the U.S. Open final for the ninth time by overcoming a slow start in a convincing victory over No. 19 seed Anastasija Sevastova (an-ah-STAY’-zhah she-vah-STOH’-vah). The 23-time Grand Slam champion will take on surprising Noami Osaka in Saturday’s final.
Williams was broken in the first game and trailed 2-0 in the opening set before rolling to a 6-3, 6-0 victory. The 36-year-old Williams won five straight games following her bumpy start and took the last seven.
Williams is bidding for a seventh U.S. Open championship and 24th Grand Slam singles trophy overall, which would tie Margaret Court for the most in tennis history. Sevastova was participating in her first semifinal at any major tournament and has never faced Williams before.
The 20-year-old Osaka is the first Japanese woman to reach a Grand Slam final. She saved all 13 break points she faced in defeating 2017 runner-up Madison Keys, 6-2, 6-4.
Osaka is the youngest woman to reach a U.S. Open final since 2009 and only has one tour-level title so far, which came on a hard court this season.

Chicago trailed 4-3 in the eighth until Kris Bryant scored on a fielder’s choice.
Albert Almora Jr. and Bote hit back-to-back doubles to break a 4-4 tie. Bote came around to score on a two-out single by Taylor Davis.

Kurt Suzuki was 4-for-5 with two RBIs for the Braves, who also got home runs from Kurt Suzuki and Johan Camargo to stretch their lead in the NL East to five games over Philadelphia. Paul Goldschmidt tied the game with a two-out, solo homer in the ninth before Arizona slipped two games behind the NL West-leading Rockies.
— Francisco Lindor (lihn-DOHR’) was 4-for-5 with a pair of solo homers and four RBIs as the Indians whipped the Blue Jays, 9-4 in Toronto. He homered in his first two at-bats and added a two-run single in the Indians’ third straight win. Jason Kipnis added a three-run blast for the Indians, whose magic number to win the AL Central is down to seven.
— Francisco Mejia (meh-HEE’-uh) homered twice in his first major league start to lead the Padres’ 6-2 win at Cincinnati. The team’s highly-touted catching prospect hit a solo homer and a three-run shot on his first two swings against Luis Castillo. Hunter Renfroe also went deep for San Diego.

NHL not changing marijuana policy as Canada legalizes
UNDATED (AP) — Deputy commissioner Bill Daly says the NHL does not expect to change its rules on marijuana with the legalization of cannabis in Canada coming on Oct. 17.
Daly told The Associated Press that the move won’t affect the NHL/NHLPA drug-testing policy. Daly said the league tests for marijuana but a positive test by itself does not lead to a suspension.
Rather than altering that stance, Daly said the league and Players’ Association are ramping up efforts to educate players about the details. The NHL has seven teams based in Canada, while Colorado, home to the Avalanche, allows some legal use of marijuana.
DOCTOR-SEXUAL ASSAULT
Larry Nassar loses another bid for new sentence in Michigan
UNDATED (AP) — Texas authorities have arrested a former sports medicine trainer charged in connection with Larry Nassar, the former sports doctor who admitted to molesting gymnasts for years.
The Walker County district attorney’s office says Debra Van Horn was detained Thursday morning by Homeland Security officials at a Houston airport as she exited a flight from China. Van Horn has been indicted by a grand jury of a single count of second-degree sexual assault of a child.
Meanwhile, another Michigan judge has rejected Nassar’s request for a new sentence in one of his three criminal cases. Eaton County Judge Janice Cunningham found no grounds to give the convicted sports doctor a new hearing Thursday. He was sentenced to at least 40 years in prison for sexually molesting girls at a Lansing-area gymnastics club, one of three decades-long sentences that will likely keep him locked up for life.
