Katie Boulter opens up over level of online abuse sent to tennis players
British number two Katie Boulter has lifted the lid on the level of abuse aimed at some tennis players and revealed she and her family have received death threats. Boulter shared her experiences with BBC Sport to highlight the issue of players receiving toxic messages online. The 28-year-old's examples included a message telling her to buy 'candles and a coffin for your entire family' with a reference to her 'grandmother's grave if she's not dead by tomorrow', one stating she should 'go to hell' as she had cost the poster money, and another stating 'hope you get cancer'. Boulter said: 'I just wonder who the person is that has sent that. I don't think it's something that I would ever say to my worst enemy. It's just an awful, awful thing to say to anyone. It's horrible.' Boulter believes much of the abuse comes from gamblers who have lost money and while she has learned how to better handle it over the years, incidents can raise genuine concerns for her safety. She said: 'I think it just kind of shows how vulnerable we are. You really don't know if this person is on site. You really don't know if they're nearby or if they know where you live or anything like that.' The message Boulter received relating to her family came during her French Open first-round victory over Carole Monnet on May 29. And she is concerned that both the frequency and severity of the abuse is increasing and worries about the potential impact on younger players. She said: 'I think it increases in number and it also increases in the level of things that people say. I don't think there's anything off the cards now.'

World champion boxing trainer and Amir Khan's former opponent found guilty of conspiracy to supply cocaine
The trainer denied involvement and put the blame on someone else CRIME & PUNISHMENT World champion boxing trainer and Amir Khan's former opponent found guilty of conspiracy to supply cocaine Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) WORLD CHAMPION boxing trainer Andrew Bulcroft suggested one of his fighters was an alleged drug dealer - before he was found guilty of intent to supply. The 48-year-old - better known in boxing as Stefy Bull - has been remanded in custody since 28 February.

The court heard Bulcroft - whose most celebrated fighter is three-weight world champ Terri Harper - used the Encrochat encrypted phone network to buy "significant amounts" of cocaine under the pseudonym "Yummycub". Bulcroft denied he was Yummycub but claimed boxers he trained would sometimes stay at his house and one of them was Yummycub. Bulcroft did not name anyone he suspected it might have been and there is no suggestion of wrongdoing from any of the fighters associated with Bull. In the ring, Bulcroft was a British lightweight champion in 2006 but he went on to lose against Amir Khan and Curtis Woodhouse, before retiring in 2010. In the corner, Bulcroft earned respect for the work he did with twins Jamie and Gavin McDonnell and Jason Cunningham. The sentencing range for conspiracy to supply a Class A drug ranges from a high-level community order to 16 years imprisonment. A spokesperson for the British Boxing Board of Control Central Area Council said Bulcroft's licenses as a trainer, manager and promoter would be reviewed following his sentencing.

His stable included British, European and world champions, including three-weight world champion Harper.
