GRR: Eagle Women
The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) announced Monday that USA Women's National Team hopeful Nia Williams has received a four-year ban for using prohibited substances.
TV's Phil Keoghan hosted a CBS 60 Minutes Sports look at the USA 7s team (mostly the men but a mention of the women, too), and their Olympic dream.
The feature includes interviews with Zack Test, Madison Hughes, Carlin Isles, and Nate Ebner, among others.

The USA women’s 7s team ended the World Series season as Plate Runners-Up and 2-4 in Clermont-Ferrand.
The Eagles did not achieve what should have been their goals, losing fairly convincingly (twice) to England, losing to Spain, and, in the Plate Final, losing to France.
The USA Women's 7s team is set to face off in the final event of the Women's World Rugby Sevens Series, and there are changes afoot.
It was a difficult day for the USA Women’s National 7s team in Langford, BC, but in the end they got what they wanted.
The Eagles started off poorly, losing to a Spain team they really should beat handily - an early 7-0 lead was undone by two Spanish tries - the second and game-winner from a fumbled lineout on the USA 5-meter. Spain won 10-7.
