USOC GETTING TOUGHER: The U.S. Olympic Committee will take a more aggressive approach with its anti-doping strategy, putting more emphasis on testing athletes in high-risk sports such as track and cycling, increasing unannounced testing and pumping more money into research.
Not satisfied with progress being made in the increasingly high-profile fight against doping, the USOC signed a new agreement with the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency through 2010 that gives the USOC a more active role in expanding research.

WIMBLEDON SECURITY: Vehicle blockers were set up in front of gates to the All England Club on Sunday as part of efforts to tighten security at Wimbledon after two foiled car bombings in London and a fiery attack on Glasgow's airport.
Tournament organizers already had stepped up measures in recent days, including more stringent searches of bags carried by people onto the grounds.

ALI COMPOUND FOR SALE: Muhammad Ali's former training camp in Deer Lake, Pa., is headed for an online auction.
The 18-building complex in rural Schuylkill County is set to go on sale Monday on eBay and will be up for bid for 30 days, said George Dillman, a former Ali sparring partner who bought the camp from him 10 years ago.
Ali opened the camp in 1972 when he was trying to rebound from a loss to Joe Frazier in the "Fight of the Century." After building the log cabin-style gym, Ali built cabins for his wife, parents and sparring partners, as well as a mosque for daily worship.
SAKATA WINS WBA TITLE: Takefumi Sakata of Japan won the WBA flyweight title Sunday with a unanimous decision over Roberto Vasquez.
