British tennis player Tara Moore is banned for 4 years after her doping appeal is upheld

Washington Post15-07-2025
LONDON — British tennis player Tara Moore was banned for four years Tuesday after a court agreed with the International Tennis Integrity Agency that she should be suspended for using performance-enhancing drugs.
Moore tested positive for anabolic steroids boldenone and nandrolone in April 2022, but she was cleared in December 2023 after an independent tribunal determined that the result was caused by eating contaminated meat while she was competing in Colombia.

Britain Caves on Hong Kong Extradition

Hong Kong has imposed bounties on dissidents in exile and threatened to pursue them for life, and recently authorities added 15 more names to its wanted list. Yet in the U.K., where many Hong Kongers have taken refuge, the Labour government wants to weaken restrictions on extradition to the former British colony. The United Kingdom suspended its extradition treaty with Hong Kong in 2020 after authorities imposed a national-security law that outlaws dissent. The Labour government has now proposed resuming some extraditions on a 'case-by-case ad hoc basis,' according to a July 18 letter from the Home Office published on social media last week by conservative MP Alicia Kearns. Security Minister Dan Jarvis noted in the letter that Hong Kong has also suspended extraditions and asserted 'it is in our national interest to have effective extradition relationships to prevent criminals from evading justice and the UK becoming a haven for fugitives.' He has also claimed Hong Kongers won't be 'extradited for politically motivated purposes.' But Britain's bountied Hong Kongers aren't reassured. Publisher Jimmy Lai—a British citizen—has been in a Hong Kong prison since 2020 on bogus charges.

Liverpool ready to strike deal after €60m price drop

Liverpool are in position to strike a deal after a dramatic €60m price drop. The Reds are as busy as can be. Liverpool have been busier than any team in this transfer window. They've signed several elite players already, while losing a few, too. Shop the LFC Store LFC Kits Shop Now LFC x New Era Shop Now LFC Signed Merch Shop Now LFC x Titleist Shop Now Florian Wirtz is the headline arrival, joining Liverpool for a club-record fee. Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez followed him as new full-backs. Hugo Ekitike has also moved to Anfield in a big-money move that sees him boost competition up top. Of course, everyone hopes Alexander Isak joins him in that. Trent Alexander-Arnold is the biggest name to leave - he's signed for Real Madrid. Jarell Quansah and Caoimhin Kelleher have also left the club, while Luis Diaz became one of the biggest sales in Liverpool's history this week as he signed for Bayern Munich. And now Liverpool are ready to agree another sale - for a cut-price fee. Federico Chiesa on the transfer list Sport Mediaset reports that Liverpool are firmly looking to sell Federico Chiesa. This is under one year since signing him from Juventus for a fee just shy of €15m all-in. The claim here is that Chiesa is available for just €10m - an actual loss for Liverpool on his transfer fee. More dramatically, it means a player once valued at €70m has suffered a €60m decrease in what are supposed to be his prime years. The reality is that Chiesa didn't get a fair go at it with Liverpool. His lack of fitness over the first half of the season made things difficult, while the squad's other wingers kept performing at an incredible level.
