The Los Angeles Police Department has confirmed it continues to investigate a complaint filed against New York Knicks guard Derrick Rose?but said there is no timetable on if or when the case will be closed.A woman filed a civil sexual assault case against Rose on Aug. 26, 2015, saying Rose and two friends raped her. The suit accused Rose and his friends of slipping a drug into her drink before committing sexual acts against her will.Detective Nadine Hernandez said the investigation into the criminal complaint has been ongoing for less than a year, but that the exact date of when the complaint was filed with the LAPD is under seal. She said Rose has not been interviewed, though an offer is on the table for him to speak, adding there is no timetable to conclude the investigation.We have to let the investigation go where it takes us, Hernandez said.Speaking at Knicks media day Monday, Rose said he had not been aware of the LAPD investigation. He also said he could miss time with the team during the civil case, which is scheduled to start Oct. 4 in Los Angeles.?The Knicks open their preseason schedule on the same day, on the road against the Houston Rockets.Im not worried about it, but if I do have to miss time its a part of it, Rose said. Of course, I dont want to be in this position, but it is what it is. Im going to let my lawyers handle that, let my team handle it.Rose also reiterated that he feels he is innocent of the lawsuits allegations.I feel like I didnt do anything wrong. I cant let that distract me with the year that I have ahead of me, Rose said.In July, a federal judge denied Roses motion to dismiss the case.Earlier this month, U.S. District Court Judge Michael W. Fitzgerald ruled that the womans identity would not be protected in the case. ESPN does not routinely release the names of sexual assault accusers and has not done so in this case.Rose said recent media coverage of the civil case hasnt been a distraction.I really havent been thinking about it. Im thinking about the team more than anything, like how to jell with the team, getting used to the players, just getting used to the organization, the GM, president, Phil [Jackson], Steve [Mills] and all, just getting used to them, Rose said. As far as the trial, thats something I cant think about because its not true, I will be proven innocent.ESPN Knicks reporter Ian Begley contributed to this report Wholesale NFL Jerseys Gear .

Tyson Furys reign as world heavyweight champion could be nearing a sad end following recent revelations about his cocaine use, and a second failed drug test.Fury has not been able to defend his titles since taking them off Wladimir Klitschko last November, and risks losing his licence, as his private life has spiralled in the aftermath of what should have been the greatest night of his life.The British boxer clearly has personal problems that he must come to terms with and address, but does he have a future in the ring? ESPN looks at five previous champions, and their battles, to find an answer.Sugar Ray LeonardConsidered one of the greatest fighters ever to step inside a ring, Leonard has admitted battling with a cocaine addiction during the 1980s. Having originally called time on his career in 1982, following an eye injury, the five-weight world champion turned to the drug to combat anxiety.Leonard would fight just once in the next five years -- a knockout of Kevin Howard in 1984 -- as his addiction took hold. However, he was able to beat his demons and following a split decision win over Marvin Hagler, would remain in the sport for another decade, winning titles at middleweight and super middleweight.Leon SpinksSpinks made history when he beat Muhammad Ali on Feb. 15, 1978. In just his eighth professional fight, the then-24-year-old had become world champion -- no one had ever done it quicker. His success should have signalled the start of a long and illustrious career.Unfortunately for Spinks, the demons that would derail his career were already bubbling close to the surface. Just two months after his defeat of Ali, the American boxer was arrested in possession of cocaine and marijuana. He would fight until the age of 42, but he was never able to fulfil the prommise of that first world title fight, losing the rematch to Ali before being knocked out by Larry Holmes in 1981.dddddddddddd.Sirimongkol SingwangchaThai boxer Singwangcha won world titles at bantamweight and super featherweight in the 1990s and 2000s, before being arrested in possession of drugs in his homeland in 2009. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison, but served only four due to his status as one of his countrys biggest boxing talents.Singwangcha continued to fight following his release and remains active, having gone more than 10 years without defeat.Oliver McCallMcCall stunned Lennox Lewis to win the WBC heavyweight title at Wembley Arena in 1994, a crown he would lose to Frank Bruno next door at Wembley Stadium 12 months later. The Americans battle with addiction became painfully obvious to those watching in Las Vegas in 1997 as he began to weep as he lost his rematch with Lewis.His career was marked by a number of run-ins with police and stints in rehab, culminating in two arrests in 2010 for drug possession. McCall was declared alcohol and drug-free for 2011, and continued fighting until 2014.Ricky HattonHatton came to prominence with a stunning victory over Kostya Tszyu in 2005. The Mancunian followed that up with wins over Luis Collazo and Jose Luis Castillo.However, his diet outside of the ring had long been a cause for concern and heavy defeats to Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao pushed him towards retirement. Just over a year after his loss to Pacquiao a newspaper sting alleged Hatton was a regular cocaine user. Hatton made one final, losing appearance in a boxing ring before concentrating on his promoting work. ' ' '
