So the American f1 team is kicking out the Russian driver?  Sweet

Not really kicking out, but at some point probably being forced to let their employee go. And getting in big financial (and so existential) troubles as well due to not having their Russian money anymore, which is basically what the 'American' team has been running on.

 

Although if they're actually opting to kick Mazepin out by their own choice, seeing Haas go down would be kind of sweet. Too bad for the other employees though..

Total silence from GB Paralympics since their statement. Sounds like a boycott will be announced tomorrow. If 20+ nations withdraw the IPC would surely have to at least attempt a u turn or face a games with only China, Russia, Belarus and few others competing.

But IPC already made a very clear statement. Athletes can compete, but under the Paralympic flag, nothing Russian/Belarussian. Excellent. Countries who still want to boycott the whole thing because even that's not enough, go right ahead.

Russia have announced their are taking FIFA and UEFA to CAS over their ban. 
 

This will be a major hearing. Because if Russia wins the consequences for Football’s future could be massive.

    • Well, we're just a few hours away from the start of this series, with the first stop being in my home city, on which the "boycott" was lifting afther the whole 2017 World Aquatics Championships cancellation some years ago. I'll be attending on Saturday and Sunday (finals days), and will try to share some pictures.   One of the novelties is that the qualification for the "stages" have suffered some modifications, with more athletes given a chance to start in both individual and synchro events (of course, they needed to obtain certain scores at designated competitions in the past months, including 2024 World Championships and 2024 Olympic Games).   The most significant change however, we'll be seen at the finals, in which there will be a head to head format, which you can read more here.

    • Too bad to hear another case in which athletes are really ashamed and exploited by careless, insensitive bastards, to the point some of them quit the sport they love.   Some months ago I helped a former junior Mexican judo competitor to create his own school. One of the main points he wanted to add to the statutes of his association was the existence of a medical and welfare committee, which helped kids with potential abuse from coaches and that this could be replicated at the local level by other schools and the State's judo association. He told me in his own experience, this conducts are often tolerated and silenced by the national federations in order to get more public funding, which of course, is disgusting.

    • In fact, according to some first-hand reports, female athletes mutinied protesting Maccarani's dismissal. And even Raffaelli denied the interceptions, speaking of a very good relationship with Cantaluppi and denying training with humiliating punishments, such as staying in their underwear.   A system of omertà and rotten from head to toe.
    • I also experienced the same issues with other websites in the past 2 years (one was non the less than mlb.tv, which I could reach only behind an Italian vpn for months 2 years ago)   it came out that here it was connected to the fucking anti-piracy shield of the Italian government (despite I'm not using any pirate website, only free or paid official ones), with some providers having a lot of their subnet addresses completely blocked because of one signaled violation within their CDN   however, I don't think it's the same kind of issue in  of course   the only advice I can give, it's to try and connect under a vpn (even of your own Country, but still under a vpn)   normally this overcomes all kinds of blocks at any level, intentional or unintentional   and if a home broadband connection doesn't work, always try the data connection of your smartphone (if you have one) before starting to seriously worry
