OSLO, Norway -- Cross-country skier Therese Johaugs two-month provisional suspension has been extended until Feb. 19, Norways anti-doping agency said Friday.Last years World Cup champion initially had been suspended until Sunday, but Anti-Doping Norway investigator Niels Kiaer said her ban was extended pending the outcome of her case.Last month, the agencys prosecution committee called for a 14-month ban on Johaug and filed charges to the Norwegian sports federations disciplinary committee, which will make a ruling. A verbal hearing is scheduled for Jan. 25-27.The disciplinary committees decision can be appealed to a national appeals body or the Court of Arbitration for Sport.The 28-year-old Johaug tested positive for clostebol, a steroid she said was in a lotion given to her by the team doctor to treat sunburn on her lips during high-altitude training in Italy in August.Johaug recently told Norwegian public broadcaster NRK she was hoping to make it back for the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.Her provisional suspension would count toward the possible 14-month ban, making her eligible again in December 2017 -- less than two months before the games.Johaug won gold in the 4x5-kilometer relay at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics and bronze and silver at the 2014 Sochi Games. She has won seven world championship gold medals and the overall World Cup title twice. Dexter Williams Packers Jersey .

Three came down to the fourth quarter while quarterbacks continued to shine in all four games; so important to the overall quality of the game. Jaire Alexander Packers Jersey . The native of Mont-Tremblant, Que., captured a World Cup downhill event Saturday, his second this year and fifth career victory on the circuit. Elgton Jenkins Jersey . -- Arizona knocked off some quality opponents, rolled over a few overmatched ones and grinded out victories even when things didnt go so well. LINCOLN, Neb. -- It could be a battle of backup quarterbacks when No. 19 Nebraska hosts Maryland on Saturday.Tommy Armstrong Jr., the Cornhuskers four-year starter, didnt practice this week because of a left hamstring injury and might not play on his senior day. The Terrapins Perry Hills has been day-to-day with a left shoulder injury.If Armstrong cant go, fifth-year senior Ryker Fyfe would make his second career start. If Hills is out, the Terps starter would be Tyrrell Pigrome or Caleb Rowe.Coach Mike Riley said it could be a game-time decision for Armstrong, with consideration given to how Armstrong feels and whether there would a risk of aggravating the injury.The hamstring is a mystery, Riley said. You really dont know until you really go, and then you could make it worse. So we dont want to do that. We want to be pretty sure.Pigrome, a freshman, played the second half of last weeks 62-3 loss to Ohio State. He has appeared in nine games, starting against Minnesota on Oct. 15. Rowe, a senior, started four games last season and has appeared in all 10 games this season.Hills, who hurt his right shoulder in the third game, has been forced out of three games because of injury. Coach DJ Durkin, whose Terps (5-5, 2-5 Big Ten) need one win to be bowl-eligible , brushed off the suggestion that he could sit Hills and have him ready for a more winnable game next week at home against Rutgers.Its all a bunch of one-game seasons, Durkin said. Well determine what gives us the best chance to win on Saturday. If that means Perry is in the lineup, thats what were going to do. If its not, thats what were going to do. Thats solely based on what his health is.Nebraska (8-2, 5-2) is still alive in the Big Ten West , needing to win out and have Wisconsin lose once. Riley said Fyfe, who has played sparingly this season, looked good as he prepared for his possible start against the Terps.I was real excited and it kind of culminated in a real nice Thursday, which I consider a dress rehearsal day, Riley said. I thought he did a nice job, threw nice sharp balls, appeared very confident. The kids respond well to Ryker. Hes been around a long time and its not uncomfortable for them.ddddddddddddSome things to know as Maryland and Nebraska meet for the first time:SENIOR SWAN SONGNebraska will honor 30 seniors before the game, including punter Sam Foltz, who was killed in a car accident in July. Riley has often credited the senior class for its leadership after he took over last year. I wish I had more time with them, he said, because itll have gone too fast. Riley said a portion of the ceremony will be dedicated to Foltz.BACK TO BASICSLosses in five of the last six games -- and getting outscored 121-6 by Michigan and Ohio State the last two weeks -- prompted Durkin to run practices similar to the ones in fall camp. The Terps opened the season 4-0.Technique and effort. Its how we made great strides as a team, he said. We havent done that for the past couple of weeks... Its like were back in training camp. Teaching the guys how to play the position and how to play hard and do all the little things that make a difference.GAME BREAKERMaryland running back Ty Johnson has broken a Big Ten-best seven plays of at least 40 yards or longer in the Terps seven Big Ten games. Six of them have been runs. He could see an increased workload because of the indefinite suspension of Lorenzo Harrison.POUND THE GROUNDNebraska is 8-0 under Riley when rushing for at least 200 yards. The Huskers havent hit that mark since Oct. 1 against Illinois, but they have a good chance to do it against a Maryland team that has allowed an average of 291 yards on the ground against three ranked opponents.HOME COOKINNebraska is looking to finish 7-0 at home, which would be a notable achievement to Riley. There are lots of reasons here at Nebraska, such as the great fan base. Theyre such a part of the family. Its fun to play here, fun to win here, fun to see them enjoy the games. There is a lot of pride in that.---AP Sports Writer David Ginsburg in College Park, Maryland, contributed to this report.---More AP college football: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
