Another drugs cheat comes third on our list. American George Hincapie started a record Tours de France, but admitted to doping and was retrospectively disqualified from the 2004, 2005 and 2006 races. Furing his careers he was a key domestique (a cyclist in a road racing team whose role is to help their team leader during a race) for race winners Lance Armstrong, Alberto Contador and Cadel Evans in 2011, when both men won the Tour de France. He was also the owner and general manager of UCI Professional Continental team until it folded in 2020. He has a net worth of around $40 million. | Getty Images

Prince William and Kate's 'intelligent' plan for Princess Charlotte post-Harry issue
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Prince William and Kate Middleton are reportedly crafting a strategy to shield Princess Charlotte from the same challenges faced by her uncle, Prince Harry. Last month, on Sunday, July 27, William and Charlotte were spotted savouring the Lionesses' victory at the Women's Euro 2025 final in Basel, Switzerland. A Royal expert has hinted that Charlotte's attendance at the game may reflect a fresh tactic to tackle a longstanding issue that has troubled Royal siblings like Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, and even Queen Elizabeth's late sister, Princess Margaret. The issue centres on the so-called "spare" Royal who struggles with feeling "overlooked and purposeless". Writing for the I, Royal commentator Richard Palmer posited that the Waleses are determined to avoid any of their children feeling less valued, thus circumventing the "spare" dilemma.

In stark contrast to King Charles, the couple is placing their children's needs above Royal obligations. Additionally, insiders close to the Royals told Richard that Charlotte "has inherited her mother's poise and an inner strength and confidence", reports the Mirror. Bringing her along to celebrate the Lionesses' Euros success might be part of grooming her for her future responsibilities within the Royal Family. American Royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith has hinted that Princess Charlotte might soon be stepping up to take on official duties for the Queen in the streamlined monarchy, with a possible focus on sports. Speaking to the i Paper, she remarked: "I think this is an intelligent way to do it. I would imagine Charlotte will be part of the picture. I'm not so sure about Louis." The term "Spare" resonates with those following Royal affairs, as it was the title chosen by Prince Harry for his revealing 2023 memoir. In his book, Prince Harry caused a global stir by disclosing private family matters. These revelations are believed to have strained Harry's relationship with his family, particularly with his father, King Charles, and his brother, Prince William. Prince Harry famously stepped back from his Royal responsibilities and moved to Montecito, California, with his wife Meghan Markle, a former actress, and their children Archie and Lilibet. Recently, there has been speculation that the Prince and Princess of Wales might leave Adelaide Cottage for Fort Belvedere in Windsor's Home Park Estate. Yet, Hello magazine's Royal editor, Emily Nash, casts doubt on these rumours, pointing out that her sources say "they've been very happy" at Adelaide Cottage. She highlighted their current situation: "Enjoying precious time together as a family of five, with no live-in staff and with easy access to Lambrook, the Berkshire school attended by Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis." Yet, she didn't rule out the chance of them moving in the future, remarking that William, with his considerable Duchy of Cornwall income, could comfortably afford another home. Emily also mentioned there's a "precedent" for such decisions, referencing instances like the late Queen bestowing Gatcombe Park on Anne, Sunninghill Park on Andrew, and Bagshot Park on Edward.

Olympic champion Evenepoel to join Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe team
Aug 5 (Reuters) - Belgian Olympic gold medallist Remco Evenepoel will leave Soudal Quick-Step and join Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe at the end of the 2025 season, his current team said on Tuesday. The 25-year-old former Vuelta a Espana winner, who won gold in the road race and time trial at last year's Paris Games, joined Soudal Quick-Step in 2019, and was contracted to the team until the end of 2026. "Representatives of Remco informed the team's management that he did not wish to discuss an extension of his current agreement," Soudal Quick-Step said in a statement. "The team's ownership and management have decided that it is in best interest of everyone to agree that Remco can move at the end of the current 2025 season." In December, Evenepoel collided with the open door of a vehicle while training in Belgium, suffering multiple fractures, a dislocated collarbone and contusions to both lungs. He underwent surgery and worried he might have to retire, but returned to competition in April. Evenepoel was third overall when he abandoned the Tour de France during the 14th stage last month.

Moment cyclist is pushed into canal by furious dog walker in row over 'slowing down' - but who do you think was in the right?
A cyclist was pushed into a canal by a furious dog walker who argued she should have 'slowed down' as she approached. Neither side backed down in the bitter row along a country path - but who do you think was in the right? The astonishing clip sees Klaudia Mitura, 34, biking along the narrow walkway on her usual morning commute as she comes across a couple walking their dog. Footage from her bike camera shows the cyclist braking in front of the pair as one of them appears to shout for her to 'slow down'. At this point, Ms Mitura points out the walkers have a dog, to which the man angrily responds: 'Yeah but you're on a f*****g bike.' He then calls her 'a f******g idiot' before pushing the cyclist, who cannot swim, into the water. The camera then shows Ms Mitura plunge into the canal, prompting immediate panic as she was still strapped to her bike pedals. The mother-of-two later revealed she thought she would 'drown' as she stuggled to emerge from the cold water. But, thankfully, she found a rock tall enough to allow her to stand on it and remain above the surface. Ms Mitura only made it out of the canal when a passerby caught sight of her struggling and hauled her out. She said the good Samaritan helped her call the police after her phone became damaged from being underwater. The machine operator admitted she thought she might die and claimed that the couple did not look back to check if she was okay after pushing her in. Greater Manchester Police confirmed they were investigating the incident but that no arrests have been made. Ms Mitura, who is from Poland but lives in Manchester, said: 'When he passed me, he just pushed me in the water. They were gone, and didn't turn their heads to see if I'm alive or not. 'I was very scared because I can't swim, I stood on a stone. I thought I would drown. I don't know what I would do if no one had walked past me. 'He refused to move out of the way, I didn't do anything, I just wanted to pass him and go my way.' She added that she has been left 'traumatised' by the experience and is scared of cycling again despite it being her main mode of transport. Ms Mitura shared the video on TikTok where it raked in more than 600,000 views. She said: 'I'm scared of walking or cycling down there, I took two days off from work. It's good I had the camera because the police can find him. I haven't cycled since Tuesday, I don't know when I will do it again. 'I need help with my mental health. I'm on my own with that, I'm traumatised. It's the first time anything like this has happened. 'Cycling was my main means of transport. I'm physically OK but mentally it's really bad. 'I need to be strong because I have two kids so I can't show them that something is wrong with me.' A Greater Manchester Police spokesperson said: 'This is an open investigation, no arrests have been made so far but enquiries are ongoing.'
