PITTSBURGH (AP) – The Pittsburgh Steelers and coach Mike Tomlin have agreed to a new five-year contract that will keep him with the franchise through 2016.

Financial details of the deal, signed Tuesday, were not disclosed. Tomlin’s previous contract ran through the 2013 season.

Team president Art Rooney II called Tomlin one of the best coaches in the NFL. The 40-year-old Tomlin is 55-25 in five seasons in Pittsburgh, winning three AFC North titles, two AFC championships and the 2009 Super Bowl.

The team made Tomlin a surprise selection to replace Bill Cowher following the 2006 season. Under Tomlin’s guidance the Steelers have consistently been among the best teams in the league. The Steelers have ranked first in defense three times during his tenure and averaged 7 Pro Bowl selections a year.

LONDON (AP) – World Anti-Doping Agency President John Fahey says more than 100 athletes have been kept out of the London Olympics because of doping. Fahey says that through mid-June at least 107 athletes drew doping bans, ruling them out of the games. Fahey adds that not all would have qualified to compete in London.

He says: “I am pleased to say that they are not with us.”

Fahey tells IOC members that intelligence was shared by WADA, sports federations and London organizers to target athletes under suspicion.
Fahey says athletes who dope should know that “their chances of avoiding detection are the smallest they have ever been.”

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) – Anyone going out to the Omaha Storm Chasers ball game on Aug. 1 won’t be able to buy peanuts or, for that matter, Cracker Jack.

The Pacific Coast League affiliate of the Kansas City Royals will take anything containing peanuts off its concessions menu for the game against the Reno Aces. The Storm Chasers and an Omaha allergy clinic are holding Peanut Free Night to bring awareness to people who have peanut allergies.

Several minor-league baseball teams have held peanut-free games for years, and major-league teams occasionally reserve sections of their stadiums for people who have peanut allergies.

About 3 million Americans are allergic to peanuts or foods containing peanuts.
