COLOGNE, Germany—Cologne has sacked coach Stale Solbakken four games before
the end of the Bundesliga season. A.J. Hawk Womens Jersey . Former coach Frank
Schaefer is returning on Friday morning to prepare the side for Sundays Rhine
derby at Borussia Moenchengladbach, the club announced Thursday. The 48-year-old
Schaefer left Cologne in April last year as the club struggled to avoid
relegation. Cologne currently occupies the Bundesligas relegation playoff place.
It has a league-high 17 losses and conceded 63 goals, more than any other side
in the league this season. Tuesdays 4-0 defeat at Mainz was the final straw for
the 44-year-old Solbakken, who becomes the eighth Bundesliga coach to be fired
this season. “Colognes league survival is our highest priority in the final
stage of the season. We have to make all decisions based on this goal without
any ifs or buts,” said board of directors chairman Werner Wolf. “After the game
against Mainz the layoff of Stale Solbakken is a regrettable but unavoidable
step at this time.” Before accepting the Cologne job, Solbakken had signed a
three-year deal to take over as Norway coach this year. Cologne reportedly paid
up to C520,000 (then $742,560) in compensation to the Norwegian football
association. Solbakken was previously coach of FC Copenhagen, which he led to
five Danish league titles. The former Norway international had several
off-the-pitch issues to contend with at Cologne, including incessant speculation
about star player Lukas Podolskis reported transfer to Arsenal. Polish
midfielder Slawomir Peszko spent last Saturday night in police custody after an
alcohol-related dispute with a taxi driver. Earlier this season, Cologne fined
defender Miso Brecko for crashing his car under the influence during the citys
carnival celebrations, while another defender, Kevin Pezzoni, suffered a broken
nose after being attacked by an unknown assailant. “I give the players a lot of
freedom. But they must prove they can deal with it, or if Im overseeing a
kindergarten here,” Solbakken said at the time. Schaefer coached Cologne for 22
games last season, leaving after a 4-1 defeat at Wolfsburg, before then sporting
director Volker Finke ensured Bundesliga survival as interim coach. Finke left
the club by mutual consent in March. Cologne is still searching for a new
sporting director. “Schaefer already showed last season that he can motivate the
team to top performances. He knows the players and can start tomorrow,” board
chairman Claus Horstmann said. “He also has a lot of favour with the fans, on
whose support our team relies in this difficult situation.” German media
reported that former St. Pauli and Hoffenheim coach Holger Stanislawski turned
down Colognes offer to succeed Solbakken. Tramon Williams Womens Jersey . —Matt

—It took 24 witnesses over 19 days of testimony for prosecutors to make their
case against Roger Clemens, with three jurors and two minor pieces of the
indictment dismissed by the time they were done. With the overlong-running trial
now in its seventh week and Clemens lawyers starting to take their turn, the
case remains centred on the credibility of one person—Brian McNamee. The
government rested Tuesday in the perjury trial of the seven-time Cy Young Award
winner, wrapping up with a witness from Wall Street and two from the FBI. Two
invoked the name of McNamee, the longtime Clemens strength coach who says he
injected the ex-pitcher with steroids in 1998, 2000 and 2001 and with human
growth hormone in 2000. The defence is expected to take about two weeks to call
its witnesses. The trial has already exceeded the original estimate of four to
six weeks stated by the judge at the start of jury selection. Clemens is charged
with two counts of perjury, three counts of making false statements and one
count of obstruction of Congress. All relate to his testimony at a hearing in
February 2008 and his deposition that preceded it. The heart of the case is the
allegation that Clemens lied when he said he had never used steroids or HGH, but
the obstruction count included 15 statements, or “acts,” in which Clemens is
alleged to have misled Congress on a variety of issues. U.S. District Judge
Reggie Walton dismissed two of those acts Tuesday. The first dismissed act dealt
with Clemens claim that he had “no idea” that former Sen. George Mitchell wanted
to talk with him in preparation for the 2007 Mitchell Report on drugs in
baseball. The government couldnt prove otherwise because some of its evidence
was ruled inadmissible due to rules over attorney-client privilege. The second
dismissed act deals with Clemens statement in his 2008 deposition that: “I
couldnt tell you the first thing about (HGH).” The judge said that statement
could be misinterpreted because it was asked in the context of whether Clemens
had ever done any research into HGH. Thirteen alleged misleading statements
remain in the charges. The government only needs to prove one to gain a
conviction for obstruction of Congress. Theres something the trial definitely
cant afford to keep losing: jurors. Two have been dismissed for sleeping during
the proceedings, and a third was lost Tuesday following the death of her mother.
Theres only one alternate left. “So Id ask everybody to stay healthy and
available,” Walton told the remaining 13. Many of them smiled or laughed. One of
the governments final witnesses was Anthony Corso, one of McNamees so-called
“Wall Street clients” who worked out wwith the strength coach in Manhattan. Charles Woodson Pink Jersey. Corso related a
pair of conversations meant to show that McNamee didnt start making up
allegations and fabricating evidence against Clemens to placate federal
investigators in 2007. “Mr. McNamee had mentioned that Mr. Clemens was one of
the athletes that was getting positive results from” HGH, said Corso, recalling
a conversation from around 2002. A key piece of evidence in the trial is medical
waste from an alleged 2001 steroids injection of Clemens that McNamee said he
saved in a beer can and FedEx box. Corso, a large, blunt-spoken New Yorker who
works as a managing partner in a consulting firm, recalled asking McNamee around
2005 about a newspaper story concerning performance-enhancing drugs. “Im not
going to get thrown under the bus because Ive taken care of it,” Corso
remembered McNamee saying. “He said he had saved some syringes and thrown them
in a beer can, and thrown them in a FedEx box.” Corso didnt directly link
Clemens to that statement, a fact reinforced by a question from a juror. That
forced the government to start reading Corsos grand jury testimony from two
years ago, when Corso quoted McNamee as saying, “I saved two syringes that I
used on Roger.” Corso said he now cant recall whether McNamee used Clemens name
in connection with the syringes or not. FBI expert Eric Pokorak then testified
that the mouth of the beer can didnt contain Clemens DNA and might have
contained McNamees, evidence that could help or hurt both sides. The beer can
allegedly came from Clemens apartment, but the government can now argue that if
Clemens didnt drink the beer, then his DNA couldnt have contaminated the
evidence McNamee kept inside it. FBI toxicologist Cynthia Morris-Kukoski
completed the governments case by testifying about the various types of vitamin
B12. Clemens has said that he received B12 injections from McNamee—instead of
steroids or HGH. The defence called two witnesses late in the afternoon. Former
major leaguer and longtime Clemens friend Mike Capel testified about Clemens
strong work ethic. One of Clemens former high school teammates, Todd Howey, did
the same. “Ive yet to see anybody work like Roger Clemens,” Howey said. The
trial has also meant a lot of hard work for Walton, who didnt take it well when
Clemens lawyer Rusty Hardin mentioned that the judge was getting paid the “big
bucks.” “I dont get paid big bucks,” Walton said. “We havent gotten a pay raise
in 20 years. ... Its a good thing Im married to a doctor or else I couldnt
afford to do this.”———Associated Press writer Frederic J. Frommer
