  • Russia’s athletics doping suspension is OVER, but ban remains due to Ukraine invasion

    dope

    World Athletics president Seb Coe has said that Russia’s seven-year doping ban has been lifted, but restrictions due to the Ukraine invasion remain. An investigation uncovered widespread state-sponsored doping was present across many disciplines in Russia and the country was banned from having athletes compete under the Russian flag unless they were categorically, in no [...]

  • Lineker row offers the BBC a chance to reflect on how it does sport

    Column

    National treasuredom isn’t codified. It is a status that creeps up on individuals, usually as they enter their twilight years. It does not reflect universal approbation, but certainly requires dissenters to be in a dwindling minority. Gary Lineker is clearly too divisive a figure to be considered a national treasure just yet, but the past [...]

  • I’m glad sport has moved on from distasteful ‘Plastic Brit’ debate – Ed Warner

    Opinion

    Dazzled by Great Britain’s three golden moments at the European Athletics Indoor Championships in Istanbul last weekend, you’ll likely have missed the home nation’s unexpected victory in the women’s triple jump.  Reeling from last month’s earthquake devastation, Turkey will have drawn some comfort from Tugba Danismaz’s winning leap. And she was only ranked ninth in [...]

  • Hodgkinson takes European track gold as Sawyers shines in field for Britain

    March 5, 2023

  • Politicians must step in to protect sport in legal minefield of trans policy – Ed Warner

    March 2, 2023

    The ruck over transgender women participating in female sport is fiercely contested. Opinions are polarised, each side shouting in its own echo chamber. Into my inbox and into the debate drops an email from a PR agent containing a legal opinion that is a reminder that this issue is nuanced. It reinforces my own view [...]

  • ‘Greta Thunberg of sport’ won’t fly to Australia over environment concerns

    January 26, 2023

    British athlete Innes FitzGerald, dubbed the ‘Greta Thunberg of sport’, has refused to take part in a world championships event in Australia because of environmental concerns.  FitzGerald, 16, has said the 10,000-mile flight fills her with “deep concern”. “The reality of the travel fills me with deep concern,” she said. “I would never be comfortable [...]

  • World Rugby should be taking the lead on tackle heights, not following

    January 26, 2023

    It is the work of just a minute or two to create a petition on the Change.org website, to be one of the ‘people taking action’ whose signatures the public-benefit corporation claims to be turning into ‘victories every day’. Takes only a few seconds to add a signature to a petition.  By contrast, seven years [...]

  • A year in track and field: Britain back shining on the global stage?

    December 27, 2022

    Some would say 2022 was the year Great Britain and Northern Ireland announced themselves as a track and field team once again after a poor couple of years in athletics. But other nations and athletes have performed well, too. So here are some of the big moments from the year in the world of track [...]
