Australian athletes at the Rio Olympics are being roused from their beds after just a few hours of sleep to be drug tested, prompting a complaint by team management.Among those to have their sleep disrupted are swimmer Cameron McEvoy and the mens hockey team.They had knocks on their doors about 6am Rio time (1900 AEST) despite only getting to bed three or four hours earlier.Chef de mission Kitty Chiller says the team is fully supportive of the tests but officials need to be mindful that competitive schedules have changed for some sports.They want to be tested. They dont mind being tested. Test them 100 times, test them 1000 times, but do it at a time that shows some respect for their competition schedule, Chiller said.We are concerned about swimmers, hockey players, all our team members getting a knock on their door at six or seven oclock in the morning when theyve had a late night.The Australians have raised their concerns with drug testing authorities and the International Olympic Committee said the complaint was a reasonable one.Spokesman Mark Adams said drug testers should work around the revised competition schedules if possible.But it depends on whether the authorities are able to carry out effective doping controls, he said.The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) did not respond to requests for comment.About 5500 tests will be conducted on the 10,500 athletes in Rio including the top five athletes in every final along with two others at random.Those tests samples will be kept for 10 years to be re-tested using new techniques that may be developed in the future.Chiller said she did not believe the early morning tests had been detrimental to performances so far.But its not something that is ideal when you cant get a full nights sleep, she said.

MINNEAPOLIS -- Kyle Wilber came to his locker to start getting dressed when a hoard of media gathered around him.They must think Im Dak, Wilber said, referring to rookie quarterback Dak Prescott.This time, a third-string linebacker that has bounced from position to position during five years in Dallas took center stage over any of the Cowboys numerous playmakers.Wilber stripped Vikings punt returner Adam Thielen and recovered the ball at the Minnesota 8-yard line in the fourth quarter, setting up a touchdown in a 17-15 victory over the Vikings for the Cowboys 11th straight win.Thats what coach (Jason Garrett) emphasizes to us. Make a play on the ball, make a difference on special teams, Wilber said. Im just trying to do my job.On a night when the powerful Cowboys running game had a hard time getting going against a determined Vikings defense, Wilbers big play made all the difference. The Cowboys were held to season lows in points, yards (264) and first downs (13) and trailed 9-7 when Wilber punched the ball out.Just didnt do my job well enough, Thielen said. Just bad ball security and the ball got out on me.Dez Bryant caught an 8-yard touchdown pass from Prescott on the next play to help the Cowboys (11-1) squeak it out. Bryant finished with four catches for 84 yards, including a 56-yarder that set up a 1-yard TD by Ezekiel Elliott in the first half.Sam Bradford threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to Jerick McKinnon with 25 seconds to play, but his 2-point conversion throw sailed over Thielens head, leading to the sixth loss in seven games for the Vikings (6-6).Well have to win out, Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr said of the teams playoff chances. I was hoping to get this win today and go on a run, but hopefully it starts next week.Takeaways from the game:RELATIVELY SMOOTH TRANSITION: Vikings special teams coordinator Mike Priefer had one day to prepare for his NFL head coaching debut, after beloved boss Mike Zimmer had emergency eye surgery to repair a detached retina. Offensive coordinator Pat Shurmur and offensive line coach Tony Sparano, both of whom have been head coaches in the league before, remained in their roles to minimize the disruption. Defensive coordinator George Edwards took over the play-calling duty from Zimmer.Priefers only critical decision turned out well, a challenge late in the fourth quarter that resulted in a first down being overturned for Dallas when replays showed Prescotts slide began before the marker.ddddddddddddWhen you have a bunch of guys that work hard, when youve got a great locker room with great leadership, it makes my job a little bit easier to prepare for this type of game, Priefer said.LAST GASP: Bradford argued to the officials after the 2-point conversion failed, saying the Cowboys should have been penalized when a defender hit him in the facemask. A flag would have given the Vikings another chance, but none was thrown. Im sick and tired of the reffing in this league right now, Vikings defensive end Brian Robison said. Im sick and tired of it. Youve got holding calls all over the place that people dont want to call. Bradford gets hit in the face at the end of the game and you dont call it. Im not laying this loss on reffing, but at some point its got to get better.BULLET DODGED: The Cowboys had two turnovers in the game -- a strip sack of Prescott by Robison and a fumble from receiver Lucky Whitehead. They were their first two giveaways in five games. Its not the best game weve played all year, but when it mattered we made the plays we needed to and got the win, Elliott said.DAKS LEGS: Prescott had a quiet game through the air, completing 12 of 18 passes for 139 yards. But he also rushed for 37 yards, converting two big third downs to keep drives alive. It wasnt a clean game, but nobody ever flinched or thought anything different was going to happen besides us winning the game and making the plays to do that, Prescott said.LOCKED OUT: Vikings punter Jeff Locke has been enjoying a career-best season in his fourth year with the team, but he slumped badly in this game with a 16-yarder, a 25-yarder and a 33-yarder that led to a field goal. All three of them were end-over-end wobblers that took an unfriendly bounce back toward the line of scrimmage. Im pretty disappointed in how I punted tonight, Locke said. Especially in a close game like this, we need the field position to help us win.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
