NEW YORK -- Yankees President Randy Levine testified at Alex Rodriguezs grievance hearing Tuesday and denied conspiring with Major League Baseball on the 211-game suspension given to the New York third baseman last summer. On the 10th day of the hearing, which started in September, Levine was asked a series of questions by Rodriguez lawyer Joseph Tacopina, according to a person with knowledge of the proceeding. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the proceedings are confidential. The person said Levine testified for 10-15 minutes and denied having any personal gain from Rodriguezs suspension or the Yankees falling under the luxury tax threshold; and of having an agreement to receive a commission of any money the team saved because of the ban. Levine also denied discussing Rodriguezs discipline with Major League Baseball or Commissioner Bud Selig; and telling Rodriguez surgeon Dr. Bryan Kelly or anyone else that he wanted the player off the field, the person said. The person also said Levine testified he may have jokingly used the phrase "is he off the juice?" when talking with Rodriguez about other players who werent performing. Levine testified he had no exact recollection. The hearing resumed Monday before arbitrator Fredric Horowitz, who also heard the case from Sept. 30-Oct. 3 and Oct. 15-18. Howard Gans, a lawyer for MLB, said in papers filed in federal court that Horowitz will hear the case daily through Nov. 26 rather than the original plan to recess after Friday and resume Dec. 16. MLB said U.S. District Judge Edgar Ramos in Manhattan issued an order Tuesday compelling Michael Sitrick, head of the public relations firm Sitrick & Co., to comply with a Sept. 19 subpoena issued by Horowitz to appear at the arbitration and to provide documents. Sitrick & Co. worked on Rodriguezs behalf earlier this year. In papers filed in New York Supreme Court on Oct. 29, MLB alleged Sitrick & Co. had provided records from Bosch to Yahoo Sports, which published a story Feb. 5 saying the name of 2011 NL MVP Ryan Braun appeared in records of Biogenesis of America, the Florida anti-aging clinic accused of distributing banned performance-enhancing drugs. MLB said in the court papers it believed the documents had been "provided to Sitrick & Co. by Rodriguez or others acting on his behalf." Miami New Times had reported Jan. 29 that Rodriguez bought human growth hormone and other performance-enhancing substances from Biogenesis during 2009-12. Sitricks lawyers, who had the matter removed to federal court, did not respond to an email seeking comment on Ramos order, which MLB said was read from the bench. Braun agreed July 22 to a season-ending 65-game suspension. Rodriguez was suspended on Aug. 5 for alleged violations of the sports drug agreement and labour contract, and the players union filed the grievance to overturn the penalty. It remains unclear whether Rodriguez will testify; he continued to play while contesting the penalty. The three-time AL MVP said four years ago he used PEDs while with the Texas Rangers from 2001-03, but has denied using them since. At the time of his suspension, MLB said the penalty was for "use and possession of numerous forms of prohibited performance-enhancing substances, including testosterone and human growth hormone over the course of multiple years" and for "engaging in a course of conduct intended to obstruct and frustrate the office of the commissioners investigation." Blake Bortles Elite Jersey . Creatures of habit, the Raptors were expecting to fly out after their previous game - a hard-fought loss in Miami on Sunday - practice on Monday and shoot around ahead of an already daunting match-up with the league-best Pacers, a team they had defeated at home a week earlier. Allen Robinson Jersey . Kingsbury, from Deux-Montagnes, Que., finished the course with 25.90 points to take gold, while Montreals Bilodeau took silver with 25.60. "The final was pretty strong today," said Kingsbury. http://www.blakebortlesjersey.com/authentic-blake-...ersey.h tml . -- New Orleans Saints general manager Mickey Loomis says the club has re-signed veteran free-agent wide receiver Robert Meachem to a one-year contract. www.blakebortlesjersey.com/authentic-blake-bortles...ersey.h tml . -- Eric Gordon drove through the lane, and his floater gave New Orleans the lead with 1. http://www.blakebortlesjersey.com/authentic-marqis...ersey.h tml . Terms of the deal were not disclosed. Steward, originally from Kingston, Ont., moved to Virginia Beach before his senior year of high school.NEW ORLEANS -- Eric Gordon would like to see New Orleans rewarded with some good karma in the NBAs draft lottery. The Hornets will certainly need it the way theyre playing lately, because all this winning isnt helping their chances of landing the top overall pick. Gordon scored 27 points, Carl Landry had 20 points and 10 rebounds, and New Orleans dealt a blow to reeling Houstons playoff hopes with a 105-99 overtime victory Thursday night, the Rockets sixth straight loss. "A lot of people expected us to tank, but youve got to play for the fans and give them something to look forward to next year," said Gordon, whose Hornets have won only 20 games all season, but also have seven victories in their last 10 games. "We knew (the Rockets) were still trying to make the playoffs, but the best team won tonight." Goran Dragic scored 23 points and Chase Budinger tied a season-high with 22 points for Houston (32-31), which dropped one game behind Utah (33-30) for the final playoff spot in the Western Conference with three games left. "A very tough one for us. We needed this one tonight to hopefully try to get back in the playoffs," Budinger said. "This one definitely hurts everybody, hurts our team and hurts our chances. ... You can never give up. Theres definitely still hope for us. Youve just got to win out and hope that other teams lose." Al-Farouq Aminu scored 17 points, Marco Belinelli had 13 points, and Gustavo Ayon had nine points and 10 rebounds for New Orleans, which used a 9-0 run in overtime to take control. The Rockets took their last lead when Luis Scola scored inside to make it 89-87 with 3:19 to go in the extra period. Landry responded with an inside basket to tie it, then scored again underneath while being fouled after Ayon found him with a precision pass from the lane. After Budinger missed a 3-point attempt, Aminu added a short but difficult rainbow jumper. Then Gordon broke up Budingers pass and got the ball back from Greivis Vasquez for a breakaway dunk that made it 96-89 with 1:32 to go. Houston could not recover. "I really dont know what happened," said Scola, who finished with 11 points. "Im trying to find the answer and I just cant it. ... All of a sudden we started missing shots. We felt the pressure and could not finish the game." Courtney Lee had 15 points for the Rockets, while Marcus Camby had 14, none in the second half when he was bothered by a soree back.dddddddddddd Houston shot 51.2 per cent in the first half, when Camby made seven of eight shots including several jumpers that spread out New Orleans defence. In the second half and overtime, when Camby played less than 9 minutes and missed his only two shots, Houston shot 35 per cent (21 for 60). "Its been tough. Ive pretty much been playing off adrenaline and the urge to try and get into the playoffs," Camby said. "Im just trying to give the team everything that I got. I reached my limit today." Houston trailed most of the fourth quarter but took the lead when Lee drained a transition 3 from the corner and Patrick Patterson added a fast-break layup to make it 83-81 with 2:30 to go. The Hornets tied it on Landrys putback. The teams then exchanged one-point leads four times. After the Hornets had gone ahead 87-86 on Ayons jumper, Budinger missed a late 3 for the lead and the rebound fell to Vasquez. Lee sneaked in to steal the ball from behind and was fouled, giving him a chance to put Houston back in front with 15.3 seconds left. He made only one free throw to tie it, however, then Gordon missed a step-back jumper in the final seconds of regulation, forcing the extra session. After trailing by as many as 13 points in the second quarter, the Hornets pulled to 51-43 by halftime and then surged into the lead when they opened the second half on a 13-4 run. It started with Smiths consecutive jumpers and Gordon later added and 3 and two free throws he set up with a steal, putting New Orleans up 56-55. Gordon reached the 20-point mark -- for the fifth time in his eight games this season -- in the third quarter, during which the Hornets outscored Houston 26-13. The Rockets made only six of 20 shots in the period, after which they trailed 69-64. "That third quarter was terrible," Houston coach Kevin McHale said disgustedly after one of only three questions he answered before cutting off the postgame interview. "We just need to get ready and play (Saturday night at home against Golden State). This is the NBA. You just need to get it done." Notes: The Hornets improved to 6-2 in games Gordon has played. ... New Orleans, which was playing its home finale, won six of its last seven home games. ... The Rockets won the only previous meeting in Houston, also in overtime, and the teams will meet there once more in the final regular season game for both teams. ... Announced attendance was 18,315, the Hornets fifth sellout of the season. ' ' '
