In exchange, the Dodgers sent Gold Glove infielder Cesar Izturis and $2 million to the Cubs, and minor leaguers Joel Guzman and Sergio Pedroza to the Devil Rays. Maddux, a 327-game winner, waived his no-trade clause to go to the Dodgers. He started the season 5-0 but the 40- year-old right-hander has won only four games since. He is 9-11 with a 4.69 ERA in 22 starts. Sanchez iyired in accident NEW YORK (AP) - After setup man Duaner Sanchez dislocated his pitching shoulder in a taxi accident, the New York Mets quickly replenished their staff by acquiring Roberto Hernandez and Oliver Perez from the Pittsburgh Pirates for outfielder Xavier Nady. Sanchez was riding in a cab that got into an accident near the team’s hotel in Florida on Sunday night, the Mets said. He flew back to New York and was being treated at a hospital. The Mets expect to learn in about a week whether Sanchez will need sur gery. If he does, the right-hander would miss the rest of the season. The 41-year-old Hernandez was WARRIORS From page 9A two-point conversion, and at halftime the score was 14-0 Warriors. Second half play was not as glorious for International City. The defense held their ground but the offensive squad could not convert their actions into points. The Phenix City offensive line easily outweighed the Warriors’ defensive line, and it pushed and pushed hard. Although this difference was clear from the sidelines, the Warrior defense refused to be intimidated.

Padres acquire Waher SAN DIEGO (AP) - The San Diego Padres acquired Todd Walker from the Chicago Cubs to help out at third base, which has been a weak link offensively for the defending NL West champions. Tests not good for Lands NEW YORK (AP) - Tests show that some of the testosterone in Floyd Landis' system at the Tour de France was syn thetic and not naturally produced by his body as he claimed, according to a newspaper report. The French antidoping lab testing the American cyclist's samples determined that some of the hormone came from an external source, The New York Times reported on its Web site, citing a person at the. International Cycling Union with snatched down two intercep tions while Defrance Leary of Ft. Valley once again led the Warriors with eight tackles. Seanon Dinkins, from Warner Robins High, followed with six tackles. “Special recognition must be given to Maurice “Big Mo” Releford, Mike “Stonecold” Campbell, Daniel “Lil Mo” Morrison and the rest of the defensive line for applying excessive pressure on the Falcons,” said general man ager James Hamp. Offensively the Warriors just couldn’t put the ball in the endzone in that critical second half. Solomon went 17-for-20 with 192 yards in the air.

The finding undermines the defense that Landis has stood behind since he tested positive for an elevated ratio of testosterone to epitestosterone following the 17th stage of the Tour de France, where he staged a stirring comeback in the Alps to make up for a poor perfor mance the day before. Landis officially requested the test ing of his backup urine sample for an elevated testosterone ratio, and results were expected sometime this week. If the “B’ test is negative, Landis would be cleared. If it's positive, which Landis' lawyers say they expect, he could be stripped of his Tour victory and banned for two years. lrack coach infer scrutiny LONDON (AP) - With Justin Gatlin preparing to defend himself on doping violations, the spotlight turned squarely on Trevor Graham, the track coach asso ciated with at least a half-dozen athletes who have received drug suspensions. The sport's international governing body said Graham could face a two-year ban if Gatlin, the Olympic and world champion sprinter, is found guilty of a second doping infraction. The International Association of Athletics Federations would act only if evidence links Graham to any doping vio lations and the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency decides not to take action against him. the other end of the pass ing game were: Sheddrick Risper, the starting quarter back in International City’s previous games, pulled down five receptions for 38 yards; Ruben White snatched three receptions for 52 yards; Prentice Risper grabbed two receptions for 21 yards and Mathis closed the night out with two receptions for 21 yards. The Warriors, now 2-2 in the SFL, have a bye this weekend but return to the gridiron to take on the West Georgia Renegades on Aug. 12 at 7 p.m. at Lucas Field in Central City Park in Macon.
