BASKETBALL BULLS CONFIRM SIGNING
The Bulls confirmed they have signed Noah to a multiyear contract extension
. The team did not disclose terms Monday, but a source told The Associated Press it is a five-year deal. The Chicago Tribune reported it is worth about $11 million annually, with incentives that could take it higher.
Noah is coming off a breakout season in which he averaged 10.7 points and 11.0 rebounds per game while battling plantar fasciitis in his left foot that kept him out of 18 games.
The news wasn't so good for Boozer, who broke the fifth metatarsal in his right hand over the weekend. He will have surgery today and is expected to miss about eight weeks.

Michigan State coach released from hospital
Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio was released from a hospital after treatment for a blood clot that was discovered less than two
nfl jerseyweeks after surgery following a heart attack.

A routine postoperative exam revealed the blood clot, which is common after a variety of surgical procedures.

Report casts more doubt on star cyclist Contador
The New York Times reported that Alberto Contador had eight times the allowable amount of a chemical which indicates doping in his system during this year's Tour de France, which he won for the third time.
A urine sample taken on July 20 showed a plasticizer, which is found in intravenous bags such as the ones used for endurance-boosting blood transfusions.
Contador tested positive for clenbuterol one day later and was provisionally suspended by the International Cycling Union last
mlb jerseys week.
Reports out of France and Germany last week also said traces of a plasticizer were found in Contador's urine. Contador has repeatedly denied doping or having a transfusion, instead blaming the clenbuterol on contaminated meat.
