The Russian tested positive to the substance, added to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) prohibited list at the start of the year, at the Australian Open and faces a ban. Reports had suggested Sharapova, a five-time grand-slam champion, ignored multiple warnings about the drug’s addition. In a Facebook post on Friday, the 28-year-old labeled such reports exaggerated.

He hasn’t played baseball in years. Last season he had 11 receptions for 284 yards and a touchdown for the Wildcats. The Orioles did something similar to the Mariners by drafting Rafael Palmeiro’s son Preston in the seventh round.

The release of thousands of pages of Fauci’s emails only increased Republican criticism of the infectious disease expert and in the week since they were published, five more House Republicans signed onto Greene’s bill.

During an interview with ESL, Cuban discussed the issue of where eSports stands in relation to traditional sporting events. “This is a real sport, and people are going to figure it out really, really quick,” said Cuban before a League of Legends show match. The Mavericks owner called out comments from former ESPN host Colin Cowherd, who made controversial comments regarding eSports earlier this year. “I love Colin but he’s an idiot,” Cuban said, continuing to describe League of Legends as “like playing five-dimensional chess against the world....

Although this time the outspoken Mavericks owner's unfiltered shots are aimed at the National Football League, not the National Basketball Association. During his routine pre-game conversation with the media Sunday, Cuban (when asked about the NFL's television expansion) predicted the nation's most popular league will eventually burn itself out. MORE FROM CUBAN: D-League > NCAA | Adam Silver approved "I think the NFL is 10 years away from an implosion," Cuban said according to ESPNDallas....

We know the other coaches in this College Football Playoff, all right. Alabama’s Nick Saban, Ohio State’s Urban Meyer and Florida State’s Jimbo Fisher reign as the three kings of the FBS who have parceled six of the last eight national championships. Helfrich is seemingly the “other guy,” and the face-value judgment is a happy-go-lucky guy who inherited that Nike-fueled space ranger program Mike Bellotti and Chip Kelly built with the help of Phil Knight; the guy who played off the “Jesus, girls and Marcus Mariota” this season and another bizarre question about whether or not he was ready for the 49ers at his last press conference Thursday....

Pavelich, 61, is accused of attacking a longtime friend with a metal pole, behavior his family maintains is because he has CTE, a degenerative neurological disorder that has been linked to erratic, sometimes violent behavior and suicides among, most notably, hockey and football players. The case against Pavelich, of Lutsen, Minnesota, was suspended Monday as Cook County authorities petitioned to have him civilly committed to treatment. District Judge Michael Cuzzo told Pavelich at a hearing earlier in the day that a psychologist’s report “indicates you need some assistance to fully understand” the criminal proceedings he faced....

Dybala has long been linked with Barcelona and speculation of a move to Camp Nou gathered pace before the transfer window closed, with the Argentina international reportedly identified as a replacement for Neymar. Juve 11/2 to beat Sassuolo 2-0 The 23-year-old remained at Italian champions Juve, though he refused to rule out a future switch to Barca to play alongside countryman Lionel Messi.

The Spanish star set himself up for a sixth straight MotoGP win at the Sachsenring by breaking the course record with a time of 1 minute 20.27 seconds on his final lap to nudge into first spot on Sunday’s grid. Marc and his team proceeded to Q2 with a clear strategy in mind: three attempts – with a long slide and an unplanned (but also unsurprising, really) near-crash – to take his ninth consecutive pole at Sachsenring....

The multiple sacrifices we players make in order to stand out among the best can be overwhelming, but we do it because we love the game; we do it because we have a strong desire to leave a mark in history.

Martial moved to Old Trafford from Monaco in 2015 and made an instant impact in his debut season under Louis van Gaal with 11 goals in 31 Premier League games. The forward, however, has found a starting spot hard to come by with Jose Mourinho on the bench, with 12 of his 30 league appearances in 2017-18 coming off the bench. And while Martial’s agent Philippe Lamboley assures that United are keen to keep him at the club, he feels the time is right for a change....
