Rhys McClenaghan has been barred from defending his gymnastics title at the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham in a shock ruling by the sport’s international ruling body. The 22-year-old and two Northern Ireland team-mates have been told they are ineligible to compete in the event later this year because they routinely represent Ireland in worldwide Federation Internationale de Gymnastique (FIG) competitions. McClenaghan, who pipped Max Whitlock to pommel gold on the Gold Coast four years ago, said on social media: “Earlier today I was informed that the [FIG] will not be allowing myself and my team mates to compete at the Commonwealth Games for Northern Ireland. “I was born in Northern Ireland, my residence is in Northern Ireland and I represented and won Gold for Northern Ireland in the last Commonwealth Games. “I feel that FIG do not understand the gravity of the Belfast Agreement and the unique situation pertaining to Northern Ireland.

ARSENAL reportedly remain keen to bring Chelsea flop Alvaro Morata back to England with Juventus unwilling to permanently sign the Atletico Madrid striker. The 29-year-old has spent the last two years on loan with the Old Lady, but the player has been deemed as too expensive by the Serie A giants. According to AS , Juve have already forked out £17m on Morata's two-year spell in Turin. And Atletico are demanding £30m from the Italian outfit to turn the Spaniard's temporary stay into a permanent switch. Juve are said to be unwilling to match their demands, and are only prepared to hand over a further £17m. All signs point towards a return to the Wanda Metropolitano for Morata, who still has two years left on his contract in Madrid.

It was great to be back in competitive action last week after a break for ill health, and I was hugely grateful for the support and encouragement given to me by the crowd at the O2. Unfortunately, with a lengthy hospital stay, emergency travel arrangements and follow-up health appointments, I had been in no position to touch my darts for a couple of weeks and that rustiness showed in the performance against Peter Wright. It is frustrating because I had been in a really good vein of form but hopefully I can find my stride again and challenge for the Premier League trophy. Congratulations to Joe Cullen on his victory, and for setting up a massive make-or-break clash with Peter in Newcastle tonight. The crowd are in for a tense evening as one of them will keep their dream of lifting the trophy alive, which is what all eight of the players believed they could do when they started this journey.

The final version of Sue Gray’s long-awaited report felt a bit like being presented with a birthday cake only to find some of it had already been eaten. Six months on from reports of partygate first surfacing – and coming after the senior civil servant had already published her interim findings in January – it seemed as stale as a week-old sponge. A leak ensured that we had already seen the best photograph, showing Boris Johnson toasting staff at Lee Cain’s leaving do, while the key finding that there were “failures of leadership” at the heart of Number 10 and that those who broke the rules they’d set should have known better rang as familiar as the tune to Happy Birthday. Some of the events should never have taken place; staff should never have been so drunk at “ Wine Time Friday ” that they vomited; “There is significant learning to be drawn from these events which must be addressed immediately across Government”. It was nothing that we didn’t know already. Just as … [Read more...] about Sue Gray report seemed stale as a week-old sponge, leaving Boris Johnson to fight another day

Live Updates As Russia's invasion continues for a 57th day, President Joe Biden announced an additional $800 million in security assistance to Ukraine and established a new program to streamline Ukrainians seeking to enter the U.S. Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin has failed to achieve his "grand ambitions" as Ukraine continues to fight. Putin reportedly canceled an assault on the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol, where hundreds of civilians were sheltering, over concerns of Russian casualties. Ukraine is calling for "urgent" humanitarian corridors to evacuate civilians who remain in the besieged Mariupol, describing the situation as "desperate." While 79 people were able to evacuate Mariupol to Zaporizhia Thursday, Ukraine Deputy Prime Minister said "everything is going very slowly."
