Team Sky
(

(Preview)
Is Team Sky's reputation now completely shot? Are Wiggins and Froome exposed as frauds? And how can Dave Brailsford have any credibility left, let alone a job? Discuss...or I might be wrong

Very saddened to hear of the passing of Jimmy Armfield, but remember with thankfulness, a life well lived. A peerless gentleman; a great servant to his sport, his country, and his beloved Blackpool; a thoughtful, humble, modest and balanced broadcaster in the mould of Dan Maskell. We will not see hi...

Squash PSA World Series - Tournament of Champions
(Preview)
Couple of things - shout out to James Willstrop (who lives in Harrogate where I am based) who has reached the semis of the above event. It is a big event and James has dragged his ranking back into the top 20 and looks like going higher and maybe top 10, which at the age of 35 is pretty impressive. Well done Ja...

Emotional abuse in Collegiate Gymnastics
(Preview)
Thought I'd add this, semi relevant since we talk about Collegiate tennis on this forum. This article shows the environment College athletes can find sadly themselves experiencing, at the hands of coaches who don't care about the welfare of the athletes. http://www.collegian.psu.edu/featur...
