Women's Euros viewership nearly doubles from 2022, Fox Sports says
Television viewership of Euros group-stage matches has nearly doubled from the 2022 iteration of the tournament, Fox announced Tuesday, with an average of 306,000 people tuning in to those 24 matches this summer, compared to an average of 161,000 three years ago. The most-watched game so far has been France's scintillating 2-1 victory over reigning champion England on July 5. That game brought in 690,000 viewers, a 329 percent increase from the previous group stage. Advertisement More recently, 2023 World Cup champion Spain's 3-1 win over Italy on July 11 averaged 568,000 viewers, while an average of 486,000 tuned in for Sweden's 4-1 victory over Germany on July 12. Both matches featured the winning teams coming back from a goal down to claim three points. A Fox spokesperson also told The Athletic that England's 6-1 win over Wales garnered around 151,000 viewers to FS1, while the Lionesses' 4-0 rout of the Netherlands brought 120,000 to the same channel. 'UEFA Women's EURO 2025 has surpassed all our expectations in setting a new viewership record for the group stage. Fox Sports is proud to see our commitment to both international soccer and women's sports validated by +90% growth,' Fox Sports president of insight and analytics Mike Mulvihill said in a statement. 'With the knockout rounds starting Wednesday and matches the rest of the way airing on Fox, we're confident the tournament will continue resonating with fans,' Mulvihill added. This is Fox Sports' first time broadcasting the women's European championships. In addition to airing the matches themselves — not only on cable but on its main broadcast channel — the network has featured prominent pre-match coverage featuring a slate of retired international women's football stars. World Cup champions Carli Lloyd (who is also a National Soccer Hall of Famer) and Julie Ertz of the U.S. women's national team, and four-time European champion Ariane Hingst of Germany composed the analyst team alongside Alexi Lalas and Stu Holden at the start of the tournament. Norway and Italy will open the Euros' quarterfinal stage when they face off on Wednesday in Geneva. Thursday's quarterfinal features Sweden against England, followed by Spain vs. tournament host Switzerland on Friday and France vs. Germany on Saturday. All matches kick off at 3 p.m. ET.

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

British tennis player Tara Moore is banned for 4 years after her doping appeal is upheld
LONDON (AP) — 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. The ITIA appealed that ruling, focusing on the portion of the findings related to nandrolone, and the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled in the ITIA's favor, saying the majority of its panel felt that Moore couldn't prove the sample was consistent with the ingestion of contaminated meat. 'For the ITIA, every case is considered according to the individual facts and circumstances,' its CEO, Karen Moorhouse, said in a statement. 'Our bar for appealing a first instance decision is high, and the decision is not taken lightly. In this case, our independent scientific advice was that the player did not adequately explain the high level of nandrolone present in their sample. Today's ruling is consistent with this position.' The 32-year-old Moore is currently ranked No. 864 in singles and 187 in doubles, mostly playing in lower-level WTA Tour events since returning from her provisional suspension after the positive test. The ruling Tuesday said that time would be credited toward her suspension. ___ AP tennis:
