Carmen Small had her Olympic dreams crushed for the second time in less than a month.The veteran cyclist lost her arbitration case Wednesday for a spot on the four-member U.S. team headed for Rio, and will be forced to watch from the sidelines as the powerhouse womens squad rides for gold.Megan Guarnier was the only rider who earned a guaranteed spot on the squad by virtue of her bronze medal at the world championships. That left three discretionary picks that went to two-time and reigning Olympic time trial gold medalist Kristin Armstrong, veteran Evelyn Stevens and climbing specialist Mara Abbott. Amber Neben also lost her arbitration case.The 36-year-old Small had argued that her handy victories over Armstrong and Stevens at the time trial national championships this year should have helped her earn a spot. She also highlighted the fact that she has been part of two world champion time trial teams and is a former world time trial bronze medalist. Larry Jordan Jersey Store .

BEREA, Ohio -- Browns rookie quarterback Cody Kessler emerged from a workout wearing a long-sleeved, gray T-shirt that showed one of the teams slogans on the back.It said: 2016 Cleveland Browns Turnaround.Yeah, a slow, difficult and painful one.At 0-4, the Browns are the NFLs only winless team and the losing streak to start the season is being heightened by an alarming eruption of major injuries, costly turnovers, blown leads, missed opportunities and just some rotten luck.Its like nothing can go right, wide receiver Terrelle Pryor said Monday.Browns first-year coach Hue Jackson entered the season knowing it would be tough balancing the growth of one of the leagues youngest teams -- Cleveland has 16 rookies on its roster -- with success on the scoreboard and standings.I didnt think it would be this difficult, the cheery Jackson said, cracking a smile.Its tough, but Im seeing a lot of young guys improve. Were just not seeing what I want to see, and what the team wants to see, on the other side of the ledger.Clevelands rough start under Jackson continued on Sunday with a 31-20 loss to the Washington Redskins, who took advantage of two fumbles -- one on a quick whistle -- and an interception thrown by Kessler to put away the Browns.The loss included another significant injury as starting center Austin Reiter tore his left anterior cruciate ligament in his first pro start and is done for the season.Reiter is the eighth starter to get hurt and continues a constant shuffling of Clevelands offensive line.Reiter was starting because John Greco had moved back to right guard after Jackson benched Alvin Bailey for one game following his arrest last week on suspicion of operating a vehicle while impaired.Greco had taken over at center after starter Cam Erving sustained a bruised lung in the season opener.So in four games, the Browns have had three quarterbacks and three centers, a troubling scenario for any team to handle never mind one as inexperienced as the Browns.With Erving expected to miss at least a few more weeks, Greco anticipates returning to center and Bailey will be back in the lineup after Jackson said his punishment is over.I dont hold grudges, Jackson said.Maybe, but it would be understandable if Jackson had some lingering resentment toward Sundays officials after the Browns lost a fumble they recovered.With Cleveland trailing 24-20 in the fourth qquarter, Browns running back Duke Johnson lost the ball after a 5-yard carry.ddddddddddddAs line judge Sara Thomas looked in the pile to see who had the ball, Johnson emerged and held it over his head.Washington was awarded possession and while the Redskins didnt score on their subsequent drive, the turnover -- one of three straight by Cleveland -- prevented the Browns from scoring and chewed some time off the clock.Jackson said Thomas told him the play couldnt be reviewed, just another bad break for the Browns, who cant seem to catch a good one.I know people want me to jump on the officials right there and run on the field and go bananas and all that, but what is that going to do? Jackson said.Im not going to let my team ever see me lose it like that. It looked awfully close to us, and obviously, Duke had the ball when he got up. It seemed like a bang, bang play. We have to go with their decision.Pryor, who caught his first TD as a pro, was so upset at the call and loss that he refused to speak with reporters following the game.He calmed down enough to address the controversial play and Clevelands inability to win.He cant explain it.Its crazy, man, he said. Were battling our butts off. I dont know if its us not being able to catch a break. We practice hard. This is a very good team. I believe were going to keep on making strides and were going to win games. But its crazy how so many times were up and were beating them, and then something goes wrong.Things wont get easier for the Browns, who have the misfortune of hosting New England on Sunday in quarterback Tom Bradys return from his Deflategate suspension.Not fun at all, Jackson said.Game notes QB Robert Griffin III will have his injured left shoulder re-examined this week. Jackson said the checkup could determine whether RG3 needs surgery. ... The Browns released linebacker Armonty Bryant, who returned Monday from his four-game league suspension. ... TE Randall Telfer sustained a high ankle sprain and will likely miss several weeks. ... Pryor was mystified by the unsportsmanlike conduct penalty he received for celebrating after his TD. He was cited for using the ball as a prop.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
