LE CAP DAGDE, France -- Team doctors have advised Bradley Wiggins not to publish his blood passport data for fear of possible misinterpretation by critics, the Tour de France leader said on Saturday. Wiggins said after the 13th stage that "whatever you do with the passport thing is a no-win situation." Wiggins added he would be keen on publishing the data but that Team Sky doctors are against it because critics would "scrutinize it and say its too stable, or its too up and down, or too this, or toSky have dominated the Tour so far. With seven stages to go before the race ends in Paris on July 22, Wiggins leads teammate Christopher Froome by 2 minutes and 5 seconds overall. Vincenzo Nibali sits in third place, 2:23 off the pace. Skys dominance has raised doubts and Wiggins, who hopes to become the first British rider to win the Tour, is trying to dissipate them. On Friday, the three-time Olympic champion published a column in the British newspaper The Guardian where he explained why he would never dope. When asked whether he would be willing to make his blood passport data public, Wiggins said the decision could backfire. "Team doctors have said to me that the blood passport is not clearcut, doping or not doping," he said. "There are so many variables in it... For certain people, whatever you do will never be enough unless you let them live with you 12 months, which Im not prepared for them to do that." The blood passport program registers and charts the blood profile of a rider over lengthy periods of time so that comparisons can be made. Its designed to catch drug cheats without needing to find traces of banned drugs. Wiggins also praised the work done by the ruling International Cycling Union in the fight against doping, insisting on the necessity of repeated doping tests. "Ive lost count of how many times Ive been tested this week, blood and urine," he said. Cheap Jerseys Wholesale . Then they went out and earned it.

TAMPA, Fla. -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers kept the heat on Cam Newton all day, leaving the Carolina star little room to throw the ball and even less to run. A defence that allowed an NFL-worst 494 points and ranked last against the run intercepted Newton twice and limited the running game to 10 yards as the Bucs won their debut under coach Greg Schiano 16-7 over the Panthers on Sunday. Josh Freeman threw a 6-yard TD pass to Mike Williams and Connor Barth kicked three field goals to stop a 10-game losing streak that prompted the firing of former coach Raheem Morris. Schiano came to Tampa after spending 11 seasons transforming Rutgers from one of the losingest programs in college football into a Big East contender. Newton threw for 303 yards and one touchdown. But the Panthers were shut out in the first half, and the interceptions he threw thwarted Carolinas chances of overcoming the slow start. Ronde Barber, making his 200th consecutive start, had one of Tampa Bays interceptions. The 37-year-old, whos making the transition from cornerback to safety in his 16th season, also had one of the teams three sacks. Freeman completed his first eight passes, making use of three of the newcomers brought in to help him after the Bucs ranked 30th in rushing offence and 27th in points scored last season. Rookie Doug Martin ran five times for 21 yards and caught a pass for 11 yards and receiver Vincent Jackson had a 7-yard reception on third-and-2 to set up Tampa Bays only touchdown.

A Tampa Bay defence upgraded by the drafting of safety Mark Barron and linebacker Lavonte David limited the Panthers to minus-1 yard rushing in the opening half, while the offence did its part to keep Newton off the field for long stretches by controlling the ball for nearly 19 minutes before halftime. Newton threw for a league rookie record 4,051 yards and also set a single-season mark for rushing TDs by a quarterback, while accounting for 35 touchdowns -- 21 passing and 14 on the ground. He threw a 22-yard TD pass to Brandon LaFell on Carolinas first possession of the second half, but couldnt get his team into the end zone again. A late Panthers drive stalled at the Bucs 3, where they settled for Justin Medlocks 21-yard field goal, trimming Tampa Bays lead to 16-10 with 2:46 remaining. But the Carolina defence unable to get the ball out, with Freeman running out the clock with help from Martin, who finished with 95 yards rushing on 24 carries. Newton completed 23 of 33 passes.
