MONZA, Italy (AP) — Monza forward Alejandro “Papu” Gomez announced Sunday that he has asked his lawyers to look into his doping suspension and insisted that the banned substance came from his son’s cough medicine.Gomez was banned for two years on Friday in a doping case stemming from his time at Spanish club Sevilla.

I enjoy coaching this team. That’s not to say that they’re not taking years off my life, but I’m OK with that.”Alabama (7-1, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) went into its bye week as the only SEC Western Division team without a league loss. Next up: hosting No. 15 LSU, the biggest remaining division challenger, in two weeks.The Tide hadn’t really looked like a national contender from start to...
