Great news. Awarded specifically for ‘Paris Olympics: Boxing’s Gender War’ – and for relentlessly holding Thomas Bach to account.
Thrilled to have won Scoop of the Year with @badel_cmail at the @kennedyawards (named after a fond colleague Les Kennedy). In great company with @LindaSilmalis & Jess Halloran.

The problem with arguing Uefa should say more about the death of Suleiman al-Obeid is that when Israel’s Lior Asulin – who, unlike al-Obeid, played for a Uefa member state – was murdered by Hamas on October 7, Europe’s governing body said nothing at all

Thank goodness sport is finally shelving its slavish adherence to the cult of Stonewall. Column

Such an important decision. A rebuke, too, to hysterical trans rights activists who characterised a simple cheek swab as some intolerable violation. 82 per cent of women at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics supported a continuation of sex testing – that majority support has not wavered.
The philosophy that we hold dear in World Athletics is the protection and the promotion of the integrity of women's sport. It is really important in a sport that is permanently trying to attract more women that they enter a sport believing there is no biological glass ceiling.

Not since the 1890s have Wales confronted a Lions reckoning this bleak. Jac Morgan is deeply unfortunate, but Andy Farrell clearly places a premium on big-game pedigree. Piece from Brisbane
