EXPECTATIONS: The Chiefs believe the Broncos are vulnerable in the AFC West, but the loss of Houston to knee injury for at least the start of the season hurts their chances of winning the division title.

"We have an obligation as the AFC station to air the games of significance," he said. "Obviously there are Kansas City Chiefs fans here, but Colts and Titans fans, too. We'll pay attention to what the Chiefs are doing, what all the teams are doing" but not necessarily showcase them.

With advanced studies in medicine at McGill University, Duvernay-Tardif, footballer of the Kansas City Chiefs in the NFL, has a very firm position on doping and products that can improve performance.

"I think that to have a healthy sport, we must denounce those who cheat. By doing this, we will enhance and encourage those who train full time for sports and stay at a high level while remaining healthy, said the big man. I think it is that makes a scandal with what happens in Russia, because it has to be clear.
