ester United, but became champions on Monday night after

LATROBE, Pa. -- Running back?LeVeon Bell?apologized to the Pittsburgh Steelers for the distraction of his looming four-game suspension, but he was generally vague about the issue when addressing the media Thursday at training camp.The Steelers expect to hear back on Bells appeal in mid-August, coach Mike Tomlin said. ESPNs Dan Graziano reported last Friday that Bells suspension is the result of missed drug tests, not failed tests.I want to apologize to Steeler Nation, all the fans and players and coaches for being a distraction to this whole situation, Bell said in a brief opening statement. I dont, obviously, want to be a distraction, but this whole situation, the appeal, is going to run its course.Bell, who served a two-game suspension last season after being pulled over with possession of marijuana in 2014, said he was frustrated when he first learned about this punishment in March. But the back is letting his reps and the NFLPA handle the case. He said he understands some will believe he has character issues after two off-field incidents, but said that isnt something he can control.Bell declined to comment when asked about details of the suspension, citing the ongoing appeal process.Like Bell, Tomlin said he wants a resolution before commenting further.Anything I say prior to that is simply speculation, the coach said.Guard David DeCastro acknowledged it is frustrating for a contending team to lose players. In addition to losing Bell, who leads all running backs with 119 yards from scrimmage per game since 2013, wide receiver Martavis Bryant received a yearlong suspension over multiple drug-testing violations.Were used to it, sadly, DeCastro said of the losses. You have all this talent and you start losing guys like that. Its tough. But guys step up.DeAngelo Williams, who rushed for 11 touchdowns in Bells absence last season, is Bells primary backup.On a positive note, Bell was not listed on the teams physically unable to perform list and is ready to practice less than nine months after tearing his medial collateral and posterior cruciate ligaments last season against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Steelers staff can manage Bells reps in practice, but he should be a fixture during camp.Im going to do as much as coach Tomlin lets me do, Bell said. Im confident where I am right now. I felt if we had a game tomorrow, Id be able to play. John Hannah Jersey . -- Al Jefferson found a groove just in time for the Charlotte Bobcats. Stephon Gilmore Youth Jersey .

It was party-central in Leicester on Monday night as Leicester City were named Premier League champions and local lad Mark Selby won his second world snooker championship.On top of that, Leicester Riders won the British Basketball League title last month, and even Leicestershires cricketers - the whipping boys of the county game for the last few years - are flying high in Division Two. Cockerill - whose Tigers have reached the Aviva Premiership play-offs - has been impressed by the Foxes all season, crediting the spirit among the squad for their historic Premier League title victory and he thinks it has been a great sporting year for the whole city of Leicester.Unbelievable. A fantastic start to the season, everybody thought they would drop off and theyve kept going to the big teams and beating them and they have a fantastic away record, Cockerill told Sky Sports News HQ.You go and watch them play and you can see the spirit and the energy and the commitment for each other. The supporters have been outstanding. My two daughters have to go to school dressed in blue, so that was an interesting discussion around the breakfast table. Leicester boss Richard Cockerill is thrilled with Leicester Citys success Its been fantastic for the city - the buzz around the place with the football is just unbelievable.The former England international believes Ranieris side have demonstrated the spirit of the city with their performances throughout the season and says they have put Leicester on the map. You only come herre to play sport or visit the Cathedral, so its fantastic for the city and we wont have to explain where Leicester is any more because the world knows where it is now, he added.dddddddddddd From the football perspective theres not many local lads in that side but clearly theyve bought in to what the citys about the supporters have got behind it.City were unable to win the league at Old Trafford on Sunday when they drew 1-1 with Manchester United, but became champions on Monday night after Tottenham were held to a 2-2 draw by Chelsea.In some ways I was sort of hoping theyd have to win against Everton at the weekend and have the grand finale at home but they can now have that celebration all together, said Cockerill. Leicester City players celebrate winning the Premier League title during a training session at their Belvoir Drive training ground I think it just shows that sport is special and its not just money that buys success. It helps, but I think that the romance of a team that can come from where they have come from - their starting team cost £23m - compared to Man Citys which is £280m or something.I think we are under a bit of pressure to deliver now as well so if we can do the same with the Premiership thatll be nice and maybe wed follow them round in an open top bus rather than be at the front.Leicester host Everton this Saturday where they will play for the first time as Premier League Champions, live on Sky Sports 1.
