TORONTO - Players opposing the use of artificial turf at next years Womens World Cup won a partial victory Tuesday when the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario allowed them to amend their legal complaint to include allegations of reprisals against the women behind the claim.But while noting such allegations of reprisals strike at the integrity of the Tribunals process for enforcing human rights in Ontario, vice-chair Jo-Anne Pickel rejected the players request for a cease and desist order.The application has been amended to include the applicants reprisal allegations, Pickel wrote in her interim decision. The Tribunal will hear evidence in support of these allegations in due course. Given that no evidence has yet been heard in this case, the Tribunal is not in a position to determine whether the respondents have engaged in any reprisals contrary to the (Human Rights) Code.The players allege that Mexican international Teresa Noyola and French internationals Camille Abily and Elise Bussaglia had been threatened with reprisals. Noyola, according to an earlier players filing, was told she would not be invited to play for the Mexican national team unless she withdrew her name from the legal challenge.Abily and Bussaglia were led to believe that their continued participation in this action would lead to retaliation by FIFA in the awarding of the 2019 womens World Cup. France is seeking to host the 2019 World Cup.All three have withdrawn from the complaint. But Pickel, in ruling against the crease and desist order, noted that more women had taken their place.Abily, in a subsequent interview on her Olympique Lyonnais club website, denied she had been pressured to withdraw her name from the legal challenge. She said it was a personal decision.The players also allege that Costa Rican internationals Diana Saenz and Katherine Alvarado, along with a third unidentified player, were told by Costa Rican Federation officials that their participation put their positions on the team in jeopardy as a result of pressure from CSA and FIFA.The Canadian Soccer Association rejected the allegations. FIFA took no position, arguing that it had not been properly served with the legal complaint.Pickel dismissed that claim by FIFA in another interim decision Monday.The CSA and FIFA now have 21 days to respond to the amended complaint. The players can file a reply to any such response within 35 days of Tuesdays interim decision.The case, known as Wambach et. al. v. Canadian Soccer Association after American star player Abby Wambach, continues. In related news, FIFA has shown little interest in an offer to meet with the rebel faction of players.The players offered Monday to meet FIFA Secretary-General Jerome Valcke at a tournament in Brazil where Wambach and Brazils Marta — who is also involved in the legal challenge — are playing.But it appears the meeting will not happen.FIFAs secretary general Jerome Valcke met with the team representatives within the scope of the final draw staged in Ottawa, a FIFA media spokesman said in an email Tuesday to The Canadian Press. For the time being we have no further comments to make.The lawyer for the players made the offer to meet in person after Valcke turned down a request to talk via conference call.When asked why, given his earlier comment about wanting an open dialogue, Valcke said at Fridays tournament draw in Ottawa that he would talk to players — but not lawyers — in person rather than on the phone. I am ready to discuss with all the players, with all the technical teams, with all the coaches. But face to face, said Valcke. And thats what Im ready to do ...

Scott Kazmir threw six sharp innings before leaving with tightness in his left triceps, and Yoenis Cespedes hit a two-run homer that broke a scoreless tie in the eighth that lifted the As over the Seattle Mariners 3-0 Sunday. Kazmir called it was "a very, very minor" injury. He said it wont cause him to miss a start, but the As have reason to be cautionary. This spring the club lost staff ace Jarrod Parker to season-ending elbow surgery and A.J. Griffin is sidelined for perhaps the first two months with a strained forearm. Oaklands staff has an AL-leading 2.17 ERA. "Its exciting to have guys follow up a quality start, one after another, one through five. It really is exciting," Kazmir said. "We just want to keep going out there and keep making quality pitches and quality outings, all of us." Kazmir pitched two-hit ball, striking out nine without a walk. As manager Melvin said that the first time he noticed Kazmir was affected by the tightness was at the end of the sixth. Kazmir had a similar issue during training camp, missing one start with triceps tightness. "Everything checked out as far as his strengthening and what he does after a game," Melvin said. "He wanted to go back out but you have to be careful with a guy like that." Mariners star Robinson Cano said Kazmir was exceptionally tough. "He was making guys chase his slider and throwing the heater at 95," Cano said. Cespedes pulled a 2-2 slider from Charlie Furbush (0-1) into the left-field bullpen. Cespedes second homer of the season came after Jed Lowrie drew a leadoff walk. Josh Donaldson added a solo home run in the ninth, his third, off Lucas Luetge. Dan Otero (2-0) retired two batters in the seventh. Luke Gregerson worked the eighth and Sean Doolittle allowed one hit in the ninth for his first save. Chris Young made his first start since Sept. 9, 2012, while with the New York Mets. Troubled by shoulder problems all last season, he went to spring camp this year with the Nationals, was released and signed during the last week of training camp by Seattle. Young pitched six shutout innnings, giving up four hits.ddddddddddddHe walked three and struck out two. Youngs other outing for Seattle was a two-inning scoreless stint in relief. "I was really, really pleased with his outing," Mariners manager Lloyd McClendon said. "He got a lot of flyball outs, teased them up in the zone a bit. I think he is close. I saw his breaking ball coming today. When that pitch comes for him, hes going to be pretty tough." Kazmir didnt allow a runner and struck out six the first time through the lineup. The Mariners got back-to-back, one-out singles by Brad Miller and Cano in the fourth, but Kazmir retired Corey Hart on a grounder and struck out Justin Smoak with a 78 mph changeup. The Mariners only other scoring threat came with two outs in the sixth when Brad Miller sent right fielder Eric Sogard to the wall to bring down his flyball. Cano, who singled in the fourth, has a 14-game hitting streak against Oakland dating to Sept. 22, 2012. NOTES: Seattle manager Lloyd McClendon isnt sure about Major League Baseballs expanded replay format. "Im really worried about where were heading with replays, the effect its having on the game, the effect its having on the fans," McClendon said. "Its confusing." McClendon is concerned about the outfield transfer rule, when umpires look to be sure fielders successfully switch the ball from the glove to their hands. The Mariners already have had three such plays this season, with mixed results. "It was made for the play at second, on the double-play ball," Melvin said. "I dont think anyone thought it would come into play in the outfield as youre seeing right now." Both managers have had to talk to their players to be certain that runners go against their instincts and watch the umpires, not the play, in order to advance or hold. "I think the players are struggling more than the managers," McClendon said. "Initially, I thought Id be a fan of it. But Im not so sure now." ... Mariners top pitching prospect Taijuan Walker (shoulder) is scheduled to make another rehab start Tuesday in the minors. Seattle has an open spot in the rotation for that day, but McClendon said he doesnt know when Walker will be called up. ' ' '
