CALGARY -- Former Olympian Jason Myslicki said hes disgusted that a driver knocked biathlete Robin Clegg off his bike and injured him while the athletes were cycling northwest of Calgary on Sunday. . Myslicki said Clegg underwent surgery Monday to insert a plate into a broken right elbow. "Its such an avoidable incident," Myslicki said. "Its uncalled for." Clegg, who lives in Canmore, Alta., is a three-time Olympian who helped Canada finish 10th in the relay at the 2010 Winter Olympics. Myslicki, from Thunder Bay, Ont., represented Canada in nordic combined -- ski jumping and cross-country skiing -- in two Winter Games. Police questioned a male driving a sport utility vehicle following the incident, according to Myslicki. Cochrane RCMP said the matter is still under investigation. Both Myslicki and Clegg have retired from their respective Olympic sports, but road race with the Canmore-based Rundle Mountain Cycling Club. Myslicki said they chose to ride on a township road near the Springbank Airport with Olympic cross-country skier Sean Crooks because of its lack of traffic. A driver brushed past the three men and honked before braking in front of them, according to Myslicki. Myslicki and Crooks swerved left and Clegg right to avoid the vehicle, which then accelerated and knocked Clegg to the pavement, he said. "The guy just accelerated into him," Myslicki recalled. "He came out (of the vehicle) yelling." Crooks called emergency services. Clegg, 35, wasnt knocked unconscious, but his right shoulder and arm took the brunt of the fall. Several elite winter athletes use the roads around Calgary and Canmore to cycle and roller-ski during their off-season training. "Its a wide-open road," Myslicki said. "Its probably 10 metres and were a metre and a half on the right shoulder. Theres eight and a half other metres to manoeuvre around (us)." "Why such aggressive behaviour to guys on the side? If someone was walking their dog on a leash on a country road, they wouldnt swerve at them. Its obviously an attitude thats very old." The 34-year-old points out that bikes and cars exist in harmony in a city far more congested than Calgary. "Ive coerced at least a handful of people to get into cycling this year in Calgary," he said. "Its going in the right direction, but incidents like this . . . "I was in London this summer for the Olympics working with the team and I was just very impressed by the respect cyclists got on the road."

Fields had 10 points and 11 rebounds in his first start since he was shelved on Nov. 7 because of elbow surgery to help the Raptors to a 90-72 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday. . Among the list of his many achievements is no mention of his 21st NHL season, the one that was never played because of the 2004-05 lockout.

The hire would vault the Northern Irishman from relative obscurity to one of the toughest jobs in soccer, with his current club Swansea claiming a deal was expected to be finalized on Thursday. .

Zaragoza still managed to create more chances than Getafe until Alvaro Gonzalez was sent off in the second half for tripping Getafe forward Pedro Leon in front of goal.
