Now you really have to wonder how this moron got where he is.

Months after causing widespread outrage, FIFA boss Gianni Infantino has delivered another truly bizarre remark.

But I guess that money talks and morals walk as we still have that Craig Tiley as CEO of Tennis Australia.

Another Australian Open and NoVax Djokervic is again throwing out lame excuses. His father knew exactly what he was doing.

Novak Djokovic claims Australian Open incident involving his father was misinterpreted.

...On Wednesday night at Melbourne Park, Srdjan Djokovic was filmed standing with a group displaying a banned Russian flag that was superimposed with Vladimir Putin's face.

One of the group was wearing a T-shirt with the symbol "Z", which is an emblem representing support for Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The video of the incident was posted on YouTube....

Now that takes the cake.

High school basketball coach fired after wild impersonation attempt.

A high school basketball coach in Virginia has been fired after impersonating a 13-year-old player in a game.

Who did she think that she was fooling?

Now this is so totally wrong on so many levels that Silvio really needs to be put back into jail.

The IOC has a big decision to make otherwise the Paris Olympics could turn out to be a big flop.

UK to chair summit on Russian and Belarusian Olympic participation.

I wonder if all the pressure being put on them will make them do the right and moral thing.

Or, in the event of being banned from the Olympics, he set's up his own version to which only his puppet states attend.

Everyone understands the HYPER bowl is just an excuse to riot. Win or lose does not matter. It picks the date, time and place of a riot.

The IOC has put itself under pressure now.

International coalition takes unprecedented stand after IOC opens door for Russian athletes.

Governments of more than 30 countries have challenged the IOC for “clarification” over how Russian and Belarusian athletes would be able to compete as neutral athletes in the Paris 2024 Olympics.

Russia and its ally Belarus, which allowed its territory to be used as a launchpad when Moscow began its invasion of Ukraine last February, have been sidelined from most Olympic sports since the war began.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has said it is exploring a “pathway” to allow Russian and Belarusian competitors to take part in the Paris Games, under a neutral flag — sparking fury from Ukraine.

But in a joint letter seen by AFP, the countries expressed concern particularly given the “strong links and affiliations between Russian athletes and the Russian military”.

“We have strong concerns on how feasible it is for Russian and Belarusian Olympic athletes to compete as ‘neutrals’... when they are directly funded and supported by their states,” said the letter seen by AFP.

It said that “these strong concerns need to be dealt with by the IOC.” ...

It's about time that things were settled with this state doper.

Well FIFA President Gianni Infantino hasn't been having a good time of late.

Indonesia stripped of under-20 FIFA World Cup weeks out from kick-off.

Indonesia has been stripped off the Under-20 World Cup after two of the country’s top politicians called for Israel to be banned from the competition.

FIFA made the virtually unheard of move just weeks before the tournament was set to kick off....

They really only have their leaders and themselves to blame.

Why Russia cares so much about international sport.

.......But why is the Russian state so keen to keep winning in the sporting arena?

Popular newspaper Vedomosti argued that the Russian government wants to use athletic achievements to keep Russians happy and united when things are not going well elsewhere.

"We need victories as a way of doping patriotism," it said. "Victories are part of state policy."

But this policy backfired as the state-sponsored doping programme came to light and Russia was banished from international sport.

Russia was then further excluded from international competitions by sanctions imposed in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.

According to Vyacheslav Fetisov, formerly a famous ice hockey player, two-time Olympic champion and now member of parliament for the ruling United Russia party: "We are the most disgraced country in the history of international sport."

Oh dear. :-(

Ultra-marathon runner disqualified for cheating by using a car for 4km.

A Scottish ultra-marathon runner has been stripped of her third place finish at the GB Ultras Manchester to Liverpool 80km race on April 7 after she took a car for 4km of the race.

The data tracking on Joasia Zakrzewski showed that the runner used a car for a 4km stretch of the race, according to the BBC....


....The 46-year-old doctor reportedly covered a mile of the race in just 100 seconds at one point, a speed of 36 miles per hour (58km/h).

For context, Bolt’s top speed during his world record 100m sprint was 43.99 kilometres per hour.

The data revealed she had gone just over 4km by car which is believed to have given her time a boost of as much as 25 minutes.

It’s significant as she finished just 22 seconds behind the runner up in a time of seven hours and 25 minutes.....

And then there's this loser.
