Former Missouri running back Derrick Washington is facing new charges of domestic assault after an ex-girlfriend complained he hit her in the face several times.

Boone County court records show the 21-year-old senior was charged Tuesday with two misdemeanor counts of third-degree domestic assault after a weekend argument led to his arrest early Sunday.

Washington’s lawyer did not immediately return a call Wednesday.

The former team captain is already facing a felony deviate sexual assault charge tied to an incident over the summer. He was initially suspended but then kicked off the football team Sept. 1. Missouri is allowing him to keep his scholarship if he stays in school.

Texas reserve tailback ineligible

Austin, Texas — Texas senior tailback Vondrell McGee has been declared academically ineligible and will not play this season.

Coach Mack Brown said Wednesday that the former starting tailback lost his appeal to the NCAA but remains enrolled at Texas and is on schedule to graduate in December.

Gamecocks dismiss TE Saunders

Columbia, S.C. — South Carolina has kicked tight end Weslye Saunders off the football team.

Gamecocks athletic director Eric Hyman announced the decision Wednesday.

Saunders, suspended since Aug. 23, had been at the center of the Gamecocks’ NCAA problems this summer. He was questioned by the governing body about potential agent contact regarding a party in South Beach, Fla., this spring. He was also among several Gamecocks asked by coach Steve Spurrier to leave a local hotel where they had been staying.

Saunders was suspended by Spurrier last month for violations the coach said were not connected to the NCAA probe.

ND QB played with blurred vision

South Bend, Ind. — Notre Dame quarterback Dayne Crist was so determined to finish an opening touchdown drive last week against Michigan that he stayed in the game even though he couldn’t see out of his right eye.

Crist finished off the drive by scoring a one-yard TD — seven plays after he took a hit from a helmet during a 19-yard run that led to the blurred vision.

Crist was eventually removed from the game when he apparently had trouble recalling a play or understanding parts of a phone conversation with offensive coordinator Charley Molnar.

He then sat out the rest of the first half. He returned for the second half and led the Irish to 17 points in their 28-24 loss.

Chiefs LB Sheffield out for season

Kansas City, Mo. — Kansas City Chiefs rookie linebacker Cameron Sheffield is gone for the season after being placed on injured reserve.

The Chiefs said Wednesday the club has signed linebacker Charlie Anderson to replace Sheffield, who was hospitalized with a neck injury after hurting his neck while making a tackle during an Aug. 27 preseason game against Philadelphia.

Eagles’ Kolb, Bradley uncertain

Philadelphia — Eagles coach Andy Reid says quarterback Kevin Kolb and linebacker Stewart Bradley are making progress, though neither has passed the next phase of their concussion testing.

Reid wouldn’t rule either player out for Philadelphia’s game against Detroit on Sunday, but it would seem unlikely they could play.

NBA

Heat camp out of town

Miami — LeBron James will take his talents to a different beach when the Miami Heat open camp.

He’ll get to South Beach eventually. But first — Fort Walton Beach.

The Miami Heat announced Wednesday night that they’ll hold their first camp with James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh at Hurlburt Field and Eglin Air Force Base in Florida’s Panhandle from Sept. 28 to Oct. 3. Miami has typically held training camp at its home arena, but in an effort to limit distractions going into this much-hyped season, the Heat wanted a different locale.

Fake Togo team brought letters

Lome, Togo — The mystery Togo team that played Bahrain in an international soccer exhibition was made up of “unidentified players and their shadowy handlers” and belonged to a “mafia group” the country’s sports minister told the Associated Press on Wednesday.

Christophe Tchao said the team, which lost 3-0 in an apparently innocuous game at Bahrain’s National Stadium in Riffa last week, did not have any authorization from Togo’s Ministry of Sport — which is required for teams representing the country.

More details have been uncovered by the AP on the fake Togo party, which appears to have also tricked the Bahrain Football Association into believing that they were an official national team.

A former Togo soccer official has said his signature was forged in a letter to the Bahraini federation that set up the match.
