MONTREAL -- Canadas national soccer association has outlined the consequences of its suspension of Quebecs federation over the controversial turban ban -- and they appear far-reaching. The Canadian Soccer Association said Wednesday the suspension includes prohibiting Quebec teams from participating in or hosting interprovincial matches and national competitions -- such as all-star games and the Canadian championships. The national soccer body also said the suspension prevents Quebec clubs from competing in or hosting international matches and forbids them from having national or international referees officiate their games. Quebecs federation would also be blocked from participating in or benefiting from international soccer clinics, CSA meetings and its disciplinary hearings. "It is with regret that the Canadian Soccer Association recognizes that the Quebec Soccer Federation suspension will, in the short term, affect a number of players and clubs," the organization said in the release. "The association remains committed to resolving this issue for the long-term growth and development of the sport of soccer in Canada." One Ottawa reporter tweeted that his sons soccer team has withdrawn from a Montreal tournament this weekend because of the suspension. The discipline was handed down this week after the Quebec organization showed no sign of reversing its decision to ban Sikh religious headgear on the pitch. The CSA said the suspension will be lifted once the Quebec federation has confirmed in writing that it has overturned its decision to prevent turbans, patkas and keskis from being worn during organized soccer games. The CSA statement noted that, according to its bylaws, "discrimination of any kind against country, private person or group of people on account of ethnic origin, gender, language, religion, politics or any other reasons is strictly prohibited and punishable by suspension or expulsion." Earlier on Wednesday, before the CSAs statement was released, Quebec federation officials said the controversial ban would remain in effect for the time being but that they would do everything possible to re-establish dialogue with the CSA. The provincial body decided to uphold the ban recently despite a CSA directive in April that called for provincial associations to extend an existing rule that allows Islamic hijabs for girls. Quebec is the only province that has balked at the directive and says it wants soccers governing body, the Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), to issue a ruling on turbans. The Quebec federation has said it made its decision with player safety in mind, although it has no evidence that shows turbans pose a risk. As a result, the provinces referees began cracking down in the last year on the headgear. A provincial soccer official said recently that kids who wear the banned clothing can "play in their backyard." The Sikh community says the ban means 100 to 200 children must either ditch a religious requirement or quit playing organized soccer. Quebec Premier Pauline Marois said this week that its unacceptable for the Canadian body to suspend the organization and called the QSF "autonomous," even though the CSA reports directly to FIFA and is responsible for granting or revoking the membership of provincial federations. The provinces sports minister, Marie Malavoy, repeated that line on Wednesday, saying the government supports the provincial federation to do what it thinks is right. Malavoy said neither the government nor any of its arms-length bodies were involved in the soccer federations operations. The Quebec federation said Wednesday it wouldnt grant any interviews. "To give every possible opportunity for discussion, we do not wish to comment further on the situation, whether in the media or in public," the statement said. "We hope for the fastest possible resolution to this impasse." An official with the Canada Games Council, the rights holder for the Canada Summer Games, said he doesnt believe the suspension will affect this years competition, which will be held Aug. 2-17 in Sherbrooke, Que. Patrick Kenny noted that Team Quebec had already registered two soccer teams -- a male and a female team in the U-18 category. "Weve received nothing from Quebec or Canadian Soccer saying that this ban now affects us," Kenny said in an interview after the CSA had released its statement. "Were definitely moving ahead. We havent heard from anyone that theyre absolutely out." The Summer Games are supported by both the federal and the Quebec governments In Ottawa, Bal Gosal, the federal minister of state for sport, said both sides -- the Canadian and the provincial bodies -- are talking to each other. "Ill let them have that conversation and hopefully, they will you know, let these kids play, he told reporters Wednesday. "I mean thats very important for all kids to play soccer." Gosal would not comment when asked if he thought that Marois had turned the controversy into a political issue. He said he remained optimistic the Canadian and provincial soccer bodies would work out a deal. "Theyre having a dialogue and Im pretty up -- you know pretty sure they will come to a consensus," Gosal said. Malcolm Brogdon Jersey .

Oscar Robertson Jersey .Y. -- Jayna Hefford scored the winning goal Friday as Canada survived a scare with a 4-3 win over Sweden at the Four Nations womens hockey tournament. RIO DE JANEIRO -- Penny Taylor and her Australian teammates knew what was at stake.A win over France would put them in the drivers seat in Group A, meaning theyd potentially avoid playing the U.S. until the womens basketball gold medal game.Taylor helped them also get a measure of revenge in the process, scoring an Olympic career-high 31 points to help Australia beat France 89-71 on Tuesday.Its huge, Taylor said. We dont want to face the U.S. until we have to, so I think thats huge for us.This will be Taylors last shot at beating the U.S., and she would like that opportunity in meeting between the top teams in the gold medal game. The 35-year-old guard told The Associated Press before the Olympics started that she planned to retire at the end of the current WNBA season. Shes already has two silver medals at the Olympics and wants to go out with a gold.On Tuesday, she made her first seven shots and had scored 23 points before missing her first field goal attempt. She finished 10 of 13 from the field with nine assists and five rebounds.That was vintage Penny, Australian coach Brendan Joyce said. She was great and really lifted us.All that stands between Australia (3-0) and winning the group is Japan. Those teams play Thursday and a win by the Australians would clinch the No. 1 seed in its pool and avoid a matchup with the U.S. until the finals. The Australians respect the Americans but arent intimidated by the U.S., which has won the last five Olympic gold medals and a roster of WNBA All-Stars and MVPs.The heavily favored Americans have captured the headlines, but the venerable Opals continue to win .They have their own 6-foot-8 center in Liz Cambage, who has been doominant so far in the Olympics when she can stay out of foul trouble.dddddddddddd They also have a few WNBA stars of their own in Taylor and Erin Phillips.We know what we will face if we play them eventually, Joyce said. We have a long tough road still before that happens and well worry about them when we face them.The road did get a little easier with the win over France. The Opals lost to the French in overtime in the London Games in 2012, costing them the top spot in the group. It was Australias only loss to a team other than the U.S. in the Olympics since 1996. Australia ended up with a bronze medal in London.We dont want to drop any pool round games, said Phillips, who scored nine points in Tuesdays win. Good thing about this team is we never get too high on a win or low on a loss. This win against France by 18 was huge. If you had told me this morning when I woke up and said we would beat France by 18, Id be really, really happy.Both Taylor and Phillips missed the 2012 Olympics. Taylor was out with a torn ACL and Phillips didnt make the team. They are both cherishing their Olympic experience.Its been amazing, gone really fast. I try to soak it up as much as I can when Im not playing, the 31-year-old Phillips said. In the dining hall you see Usain Bolt and some gymnasts who are the best in the world, its inspiring.You never really know what an Olympics mean until you miss one. Penny and I missed one for different reasons.
