HELSINKI -- A Finnish prosecutor on Tuesday brought charges of aggravated rape against six members of the Cuban national volleyball team, which lost their games at the Rio Olympics with a depleted team.Prosecutor Leena Koivuniemi said all six have denied the charges and were being held by the police until the court case. If convicted, they face maximum eight-year prison sentences.Eight Cuban players were initially arrested in early July following allegations that a woman was raped at a hotel where the team was staying in Tampere, 170 kilometers (105 miles) north of the capital, Helsinki. Two were later released.The arrests were made after the team had lost to Finland and Canada in the Volleyball World League tournament in the central city.The Cuban Volleyball Association has acknowledged the arrests, saying the investigation seems to indicate acts by the players that were totally removed from discipline, the sense of honor and respect that govern our sport and society.

Ibaka equaled a career high with 20 rebounds, adding four blocked shots and 15 points as the Thunder smothered the Milwaukee Bucks offence in a 92-79 victory Saturday night. One of the most enduring draws of any competitive sporting event is its unpredictability. Whether its No. 14 seed Mercer upsetting No. 3 Duke in the round of 64 at the 2014 NCAA tournament, or 5,000-to-1 underdogs Leicester City winning the English Premier League title, sports fans live for the unexpected.At the same time, theres also the allure of an established, shared narrative -- jokes and stories that are communal, based on a history weve all witnessed together. The Patriots are cheaters, the Lions will never make a Super Bowl, the Sixers are a mess, the Yankees are the evil empire and Andy Reid cant manage the clock. Even if you dont always agree with the jokes, you always get the punchlines.Sports fans understand that the way things have been will often inform the way things will be -- at least for a while.So what to make of the Cavaliers winning the NBA title? Cleveland, the most bedeviled of all sports cities, finally got a trophy and a parade, putting an end to its 52-year drought. And not only did the citys basketball team defeat the winningest team in the history of the game to claim the championship, the citys baseball team is white hot, as well. The Indians just went unbeaten at home?in June, ran off a 14-game win streak and look to be a favorite for the Fall Classic.Are we really ready to live in a world where Cleveland sports are ... good?No one could begrudge Cleveland fans their right to a little good fortune. After years of disappointment (see: The Catch, The Drive, The Fumble, The Decision), loyal Ohioans finally get to be on top. And yet, theres a feeling of mourning for the rest of the sports world in saying goodbye to our favorite sad story. The annual ribbing (and occasional torment) of the fine folks of Clevelandd was a given.dddddddddddd Add another year to the drought, another heartbreak to the list, and try again next year.Now we all have to accept that Cleveland is no longer the doormat of sports cities and no longer tops on the Sports Misery Index.What on earth will happen when the Chicago Cubs finally win a title? What is their identity? Who are they, if not the longest-running lovable losers in sport? You can forget about those monologue jokes, late-night talk-show hosts. Youll have to find another globally recognized symbol of futility.In the end, I know that change is good -- particularly for those stuck rooting for perennial duds. So with Cleveland finally enjoying a victory, I guess well move on to mocking long-time losers Buffalo or San Diego, though it wont feel the same.Thank God well always have the Browns.***This weeks Thats What She Said podcast features a man whos more than happy to say goodbye to losing traditions.
