Not so fast, would-be FIFA presidential candidates.FIFAs election overseer urged caution on Friday before regarding applicants for the May 29 ballot as official candidates.In a statement released by FIFA, compliance chairman Domenico Scala said his three-man panel overseeing the election rules has not even begun its work before next weeks entry deadline.We have to consider that it will take some time until the (panel) will be in a position to announce the candidates, Scala said.Thus, we really cannot comment, regardless of whether any prospective candidate declares that he/she meets the requirements by the deadline, said the Swiss former pharmaceutical industry executive.Scala did not identify declared candidates, former France player David Ginola and former FIFA international relations director Jerome Champagne, by name.FIFA President Sepp Blatter and FIFA vice-president Prince Ali bin Al-Hussein of Jordan also intend to stand in the May 29 election.However, would-be candidates must gather nominations from five of 209 member federations by Thursday.Ginola and Champagne would also have to fulfil a key election rule of having held active roles in football for two years since 2010. Both cite consultancy work.Ginola, who is standing because a bookmaker is paying him at least $380,000, is relying on his consulting with French amateur club Etoile Frejus, which plays in the third tier.Club president Alexandre Barbero told The Associated Press on Monday that Ginola worked with him mainly over the phone over the past six years and is unpaid.Barbero said the former PSG player never comes to the club as he does not want to interfere with the coaches work, saying that his advice ranges from club management to the choice of players.He is helping me on the decisions I make on a day-to-day basis, Barbero said. I call him whenever I want, and he gives me his valuable opinion.Champagne has advised the Palestinian football body, which is a FIFA member, plus North Cyprus and Kosovo, which are not. He has also worked with former African champion club TP Mazembe.FIFA roles for Blatter and Prince Ali mean they risk being reported for unethical behaviour if either breaches election rules on conflicts of interest and campaign funding by using their official positions as a platform to seek votes.All candidates must also be subject to an integrity check by the FIFA ethics committee investigatory chamber. That group is being run by Swiss former prosecutor Cornel Borbely after lead prosecutor Michael Garcia resigned in protest last monthScala said his panel can assess each applicants eligibility only after receiving the integrity check within 10 days.FIFA published Scalas statement hours after football agent Mino Raiola said he wanted to be a candidate.Raiola was fined 5,000 Swiss francs (then $5,350) by FIFA in 2013 after he compared it to a mafia organization and called Blatter a demented dictator. The Italian agent was angered that his client Zlatan Ibrahimovic never won the Ballon dOr award.Paperwork confirming the nominations from individual member associations could also take time to arrive after the Jan. 29 deadline, Scala said.It is impossible for the (panel) to confirm anybody prior to having assessed the proposed candidates, he said.Scalas panel colleagues are FIFA disciplinary committee chairman Claudio Sulser of Switzerland, and appeals committee chairman Larry Mussenden of Bermuda.They must recuse themselves when dealing with a candidate of their own nationality.___AP Sports Writer Sam Petrequin in Paris contributed to this report. Virgil Green Jersey . - Pierre-Maxime Poudrier scored twice and added an assist, and Antoine Bibeau made 43 saves as the Val-dOr Foreur downed the Baie-Comeau Drakkar 6-3 on Sunday to force Game 7 in their Quebec Major Junior Hockey League final series. Mike Williams Jersey . The official spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the league hasnt announced the award. Crawford was the Clippers third-leading scorer and the NBAs top-scoring reserve with 18. http://www.chargersauthenticshop.com/Cha...s-Draft-Jersey/. Its the second straight year he has decided not to play as he cuts back his schedule. Stricker was replaced in the field by Ryo Ishikawa of Japan. Hunter Henry Jersey ." Also, defencemen "were found to be at a higher risk of suffering a concussion than other players, perhaps due to turning their back to retrieve pucks along the boards, which leaves them vulnerable. Brandon Mebane Jersey . Russell Wilson against Darrelle Revis, former teammate Brandon Browner and whatever schemes Bill Belichick dreams up.Canadas mens hockey team is still six days away from their opening match against Norway and with the NHLs pre-Olympic schedule winding down, the talk and the focus of those chosen to don the Maple Leaf has shifted to how well the 25 players selected for Sochi will come together. The latest to be added into that mix, of course, is 38-year-old Tampa Bay Lightning forward Martin St. Louis. The scoring winger was an easy choice to replace his linemate Steven Stamkos on the roster, according to Canadas head coach. "We didnt have to vote at all; everyone just thought St. Louis was the guy," Mike Babcock told TSN on Friday. "Prior to that, we all voted and if you got consensus you were in and if you didnt get consensus you werent." St. Louis may have been a unanimous choice, according to Babcock, but that had nothing to do with Canadian general manager Steve Yzerman also being the Lightning GM. "It would have been easy for Steve to say Martys on the team [because] I said hes on the team but that to me is not how you manage," Babcock said Friday. "You just do the best thing and I think we have an opportunity and thats all you can ask for." St. Louis has upped his game since being left off the initial 25-man roster on Jan. 7, netting 17 points in 15 games including a two-goal game the night after the announcement and a four-goal game in San Jose on Jan. 18. Babcock understands St. Louis being frustrated with the initial decision, but believes he will now shift his mentality to help Canada in its quest for gold. "I think everyones allowed to be bitter, but I think you get up and get on with it. You know what I mean? Thats life," Babcock said. "If you go through his career, hes been called out loots of times for the fact that oh youre too small, youre too this and hes just been determined.ddddddddddddThats all over with that stuff. Youre on the team – now youve got to find a way to be part of it." St. Louis career is one that has been marked by determination, including being cut adrift by the Calgary Flames after the 1999-2000 season, finding success with the likes of Vincent LeCavalier and Brad Richards and winning a Stanley Cup with the Lightning. He survived a rebuild that saw the Bolts miss the playoffs in five of the last six years and then re-emerged as a scoring threat alongside the younger Stamkos. As for whether hell get a chance to play or is merely along for the ride as the 13th or 14th forward on the team, Babcock believes St. Louis has to be ready for any eventuality. "Be a good pro, be a real good teammate and battle your butt off in a competitive environment to get as much as you can to help the team and its not going to be about any one player." Babcock addressed another positional battle on Friday, too, speaking out about the recent struggles of Vancouver Canucks netminder Roberto Luongo. Chosen alongside fellow goalies Carey Price and Mike Smith to represent Canada, Luongo has lost four straight games, posting a sub-.900 save percentage over those starts. However, Babcock expressed a confidence in Luongo that suggests the 34-year-old will be given a chance at very least to compete for the lions share of crease time in Sochi. "Im not concerned," Babcock said of the man who back-stopped Canada to gold in Vancouver. "I just think hes a really good goalie. Ive been with him a number of times and hes always found a way to deliver. So Im not concerned, no."
