RIO DE JANEIRO -- Tripped or not, it seems nothing can stop Mo Farah over 10,000 meters in a major championship.Not his training partner clipping his heel in the Olympic final. Not the assembled power of Kenyas best trying to wear him down. Not the final kick of rival Paul Tanui.Farah, with thoughts of his daughter Rihanna flashing through his mind, proved again he is in a league of his own at the moment -- and right up there with the greatest in history.In a thrilling Olympic final, the Somali-born British runner even had time to put his hands on top of his head in the trademark Mobot sign, as well-known to distance runners as Usain Bolts signature pose.Its never easy but everyone knows what I can do, Farah said. I thought about all my hard work, and that it could all be gone in a minute.Farah has three Olympic gold medals from two Olympics and is preparing for the defense of his 5,000 title next week. A good bet considering he has gold in all major races over the distance going back to 2011.Although he would surely welcome a little simpler race next Saturday, when he has a chance to become the first man to win back-to-back Olympic long-distance doubles since Finnish great Lasse Viren in the 1970s.All was going well early on in the 10,000, when Farah was safely running in the pack with American training partner Galen Rupp. Then, after 10 laps, Rupp clipped Farahs heel and the defending champion was down.I bumped into him, there was a lot of pushing, Rupp said.Suddenly, Farahs path to a gold medal was significantly more difficult.When I fell down. For one moment I was thinking, `Oh my race is over, my dream is over, Farah said.Then, amid the mayhem of tens of thousands of fans shouting in disbelief, Farahs thoughts turned to his family and how he still needed a gold to keep everyone happy.Id promised my older daughter Rihanna I was going to get a medal for her and in my mind I was thinking I cant let her down, said Farah, who flashed a thumbs-up sign to show he was OK. The twins from 2012 have got one of each and Rihannas missing one so I thought, `I cant, I cant.Once he caught up with the pack again, the Kenyans made their move. Farah is known for his unmatched finishing kick, so wearing him down is the only way to win. And after his comeback from the fall, they would perhaps stand a chance.Not this time.Even when three Kenyans tried to push away from the pack with spurts of acceleration, there was no shaking Farah off.As each lap went down I was getting more confidence, confidence, confidence, he said.Farah took the lead with one kilometer to go, and usually that means the race is over. Yet this time, Tanui would not let go.A bunch of four trailed Farah at the bell, and Tanui saw his chance down the back straight to finally break Farahs hold on long-distance racing.But Farah produced yet another comeback and once he swerved past Tanui going into the final straight, he might as well have started his victory lap. He won in 27 minutes, 5.17 seconds, while Tanui held on for silver in 27:05.64 and Tamirat Tola of Ethiopia took bronze.Farah fell to the track at the finish, his face down, trying hard to take it all in.---Follow Raf Casert on Twitter at http://twitter.com/rcasert Kyle Guy Kings Jersey . -- The boos poured down on Tom Brady and the New England Patriots at the end of a horrible first half.

The Supreme Court has asked the Lodha Committee to re-examine the recommendation relating to the presence of two franchise representatives on the IPL Governing Council. The BCCI had strongly objected to the recommendation, saying that the presence of franchises representatives would amount to conflict of interest as the Governing Council takes influential decisions that directly affect the teams.The BCCI contends that the induction of the nominees from the franchisees is impermissible because important matters like players-retention policy, posting of umpires for IPL matches, etc are deliberated upon and decided by the Governing Council itself, the two-judge bench of the court said in its judgement on Monday, which made it mandatory for the BCCI to implement virtually all the recommendations proposed by the Lodha Committee. There is therefore an evident conflict of interest between the nominees of the IPL franchisees on the one hand and their role as members of the Governing Council on the other.In May, former BCCI president Shashank Manohar had expanded on why the BCCI felt the presence of the franchises nominees on the Governing Council amounted to clear conflict of interest. Manohar pointed out that one big reason the BCCI got itself embroiled in a slew of legal issues was the presence of former BCCI president N Srinivasan, the owner of Chennai Super Kings, on the IPL Governing Council. I should not judge on a matter when I have an interest in it. That is the basic rule of law, Manohar said.Having the franchise nominees on the Governing Council would amount to violating the principles of institutional integrity, the BCCI legal counsel had said during the court hearings.The objective of this particular recommendation, the Lodha committee had said, was to bring more independent voices to the Governing Council. The council, it said, should comprise of nine members: three ex-officio members (the BCCI secretary, treasurer, and the CEO), two representatives of the members of BCCI to be elected by the General Body, ttwo nominees of the franchises, one nominee who is the Comptroller and Auditor Generals representative on the Apex Council (the proposed body that would replace the Working Committee, the BCCIs highest decision-making body), and one nominee from the players association.dddddddddddd It was also recommended that the nominees of the franchises rotate annually.The court pointed out that independent voices was the objective, but contended that the Lodha Committee was not definitive on whether the IPL franchises needed to have a seat on the Governing Council. All that is said is that the Governing Council [so far] has denied any role to the franchisee companies, and that there is no independent voice in the Governing Council which is dominated by the full members of the BCCI and two former cricketers, the court said.The court did concede, however, that there was an element of conflict, as raised by Manohar and BCCI. The Committee does not appear to have addressed the question of conflict of interest in the event IPL franchisees place two nominees in the Governing Council. There is prima facie a possibility of conflict of interest arising out of [this]. Be that as it may, we do not consider it necessary to finally pronounce on this aspect, which can be better left to the Committee to re-examine in the light of what has been observed earlier.The court made it clear that if the Lodha Committee were to rule out the possibility of conflict of interest on re-examing the recommendation, it would accept it. We make it clear that if upon reconsideration of the matter the Committee takes a view that the induction of the nominees of the franchisees will not result in any conflict of interest, it shall be free to stick to its recommendations in which event the recommendations shall be deemed to have been accepted by this Court to be formalised and carried out in such manner as the Committee may decide.
