Champions Lyon pulled further ahead of the pack in French league action on Sunday with a 5-0 rout of Strasbourg as their nearest rivals Nancy fell 2-1 at Le Mans.
Lyon's goal-fest, which included a double from Swedish international Kim Kallstrom, stretched their advantage to six points as Nancy lost ground after suffering just their second defeat of the season on Saturday.
Kallstrom opened for the six-time champions after 13 minutes after a superb move between Francois Clerc, Juninho, Sidney Govou and Karim Benzema, and Juninho increased their advantage six minutes later with a free kick which left Stephane Cassard with no chance in the Strasbourg goal.
The pressure continued after the break with Benzema (65) adding a third and Clerc finishing off a Milan Baros pass for 12 minutes from time, with Kallstrom converting a penalty after 81 minutes.
Bordeaux, meanwhile, bounced back from last week's 5-0 rout at Caen to hold on to their third position with a hard-fought 4-3 win over visiting Toulouse on Sunday.
A double from Brazilian midfielder Wendel after seven and 39 minutes combined with Alou Diarra's 33rd-minute goal gave the Girondins a 3-0 advantage at the break.
But a hat trick from Swedish striker Johan Elmander revived Toulouse before Pierre Ducasse dashed their hopes three minutes from time, to leave the south-western side just one point above the drop zone.
Earlier on Sunday, Valenciennes' 3-0 win over Rennes saw them move up two places to fifth as the Brittany side dropped to seventh.
Revelations of positive doping tests for nearly two dozen Chinese swimmers that went unpunished sparked an intense flurry of accusations and legal threats between the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the head of the US drug-fighting organization, who has long been one of WADA’s fiercest critics. WADA on Saturday said it was turning to legal counsel to address a statement released by US Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) CEO Travis Tygart, who said WADA and anti-doping authorities in China swept positive tests “under the carpet by failing to fairly and evenly follow the global rules that apply to everyone else in the world.” The
Taiwanese judoka Yang Yung-wei on Saturday won silver in the men’s under-60kg category at the Asian Judo Championships in Hong Kong. Nicknamed the “judo heartthrob” in Taiwan, the Olympic silver-medalist missed out on his first Asian Championships gold when he lost to Japanese judoka Taiki Nakamura in the finals. Yang defeated three opponents on Saturday to reach the final after receiving a bye through the round of 32. He first topped Laotian Soukphaxay Sithisane in the round of 16 with two seoi nage (over-the-shoulder throws), then ousted Indian Vijay Kumar Yadav in the quarter-finals with his signature ude hishigi sankaku gatame (triangular armlock).

Taiwanese gymnast Lee Chih-kai failed to secure an Olympic berth in the pommel horse following a second-place finish at the last qualifier in Doha on Friday, a performance that Lee and his coach called “unconvincing.” The Tokyo Olympics silver medalist finished runner-up in the final after scoring 6.6 for degree of difficulty and 8.800 for execution for a combined score of 15.400. That was just 0.100 short of Jordan’s Ahmad Abu Al Soud, who had qualified for the event in Paris before the Apparatus World Cup series in Qatar’s capital.
