AIGLE, Switzerland -- Cyclings governing body is losing patience with the U. Jon Ryan Jersey .S. Anti-Doping Agency over delays in turning over evidence in the Lance Armstrong case. Cycling federation UCI complained Thursday about USADAs "shifting deadline" in providing the files that led it to wipe out Armstrongs seven Tour de France titles and ban him for life. USADA said Wednesday it would send its "reasoned decision" to the UCI by Oct. 15. The files had previously been expected to be turned over by the end of September. "The UCI had no reason to assume that a full case file did not exist but USADAs continued failure to produce the decision is now a cause for concern," UCI President Pat McQuaid said in a statement. "It is over a month since USADA sanctioned Lance Armstrong. We thought that USADA were better prepared before initiating these proceedings." USADA chief executive Travis Tygart questioned the UCIs motives. "It is not surprising that UCI would send a press release out attempting to undermine and question the substance of our case," Tygart said in an email to The Associated Press. "It is also troubling that they would claim to have had no contact with us, which is inaccurate." Tygart added that "the questions contained in their publicly released statement today will be answered." In August, Armstrong decided not to contest USADAs allegations that he took performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France from 1999-2005. A day later, USADA erased his Tour titles and imposed a lifetime ban. Armstrong, who has always denied doping and points to hundreds of tests that he has passed, has claimed Tygart has a vendetta against him. The UCI has yet to ratify USADAs decision to strip Armstrong, saying it needs to see evidence first. The World Anti-Doping Agency is also waiting to receive the files. The UCI questioned why USADA didnt spend time during the Tour de France, Olympics and Road World Championships to prepare its case "rather than to make announcements." "It is at very least unusual that USADA would still be gathering evidence against a person after it has found that person guilty," the UCI statement said. "The UCI assumes that the reasons for any difficulty in putting the evidence together will be explained in USADAs decision."

"Thanks for bringing your boss along," Bloomberg said to the mascot. "Does he pay you well?" After more than three years of trouble on and off the field, the Mets feel things are looking up. Major League Baseball finally announced Wednesday that the 2013 All-Star game will be hosted by the New York Mets at Citi Field on July 16 -- the latest date for the game since 1985. The Mets last hosted the All-Stars in 1964, the year Shea Stadium opened, when Johnny Callisons three-run homer capped a four-run ninth inning and gave the NL a 7-4 win. The game was last in New York in 2008, the final season of the old Yankee Stadium, when the AL won 4-3 in 15 innings. "I think we are headed in the right direction," Wilpon said, using a cane following left hip-replacement surgery two weeks ago. "I know Major League Baseball believes in the Wilpons and the Mets." On the field, the Mets have had losing records in each of their first three seasons at Citi Field. Off the field, their finances were paralyzed by the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme. In March the teams ownership group agreed to pay up to $162 million to the trustee recovering money for the victims. "I said to Bud in the car, Now that this case is over -- and it was very painful, and I dont want to get into that, its in the rearview mirror now -- there are no challenges in life for me," Wilpon said. "I can take any challenge." After the news conference, Wilpon also modified his comment about third baseman David Wright. The owner was quoted in May 2011 in The New Yorker saying "a really good kid. A very good player. Not a superstar.&qquot; With Wright now hitting a major league-leading . Earl Thomas Jersey. 408, Wilpon said: "I think hes playing like a superstar right now." MLB decided at least four years ago that Citi Field would be the 2013 site but waited for negotiations with the city to make the announcement. Selig said Madoff didnt cause a delay. "I have great faith in the Wilpons and the family and I was very confident that they would work things out, and they have," Selig said. "So my confidence was rewarded, and here we are announcing the All-Star game. I have no trepidation at all." With the All-Star game returning to New York, Mets executive vice-president David Howard said a jump in ticket prices is likely to levels comparable with those at Yankee Stadium. Prices were raised to $150-$725 for 2008, then cut to $100-$360 for the following year in St. Louis. Tickets cost $125-$450 for this year in Kansas City. "The economy is rebounding," Howard said. Bloomberg said the game and surrounding events will have a $191 million impact on the citys economy. The New York area also will host the Super Bowl in short succession, with the NFLs title game played on Feb. 2, 2014, at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. Bloomberg is hoping New York will host another baseball event. "Im counting on a Subway Series this year," he said. The 2014 game is expected to be played at Minneapolis Target Field. "Ill wait on 14 and Ill wait on 15," Selig said. "I know where theyre going." Miami and Washington, D.C., appear to be the leading contenders for the games that follow. Because home-field advantage for the World Series goes to the All-Star winner, Selig said he would be reluctant to interrupt alternating All-Star sites between the leagues. ' ' '
