Usain Bolt could lose Olympic gold medal over Nesta Carter doping reports

Image
Usain Bolt could lose one of the three golds he won at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Reuters report that the 'A' sample of one of his team-mates in the 4x100m, Nesta Carter, was found to contain the banned substance Methylhexanamine. The news comes after the retesting of 454 samples from the 2008 Games. Carter, who along with his agent has not replied to requests for comment, will face sanctions if his 'B' sample also tests positive for the substance. The 30-year-old ran the first leg for Jamaica's 4x100m relay team in Beijing, which also included Michael Frater, Asafa Powell and Bolt. The team took gold in what was then a new world record of 37.10 seconds, ahead of Trinidad and Tobago and Japan. Carter was also a member of Jamaica's gold medal-winning relay teams at the 2011, 2013 and 2015 World Championships as well as the 2012 Olympic Games. He has not run this season, because of a foot injury, but is expected to return to the track ahead of...

Image
                                  The mother of hip hop legend,Tupac, Afeni Shakur, who passed away  on Monday , ensured that his money and music was legally protected just in case there was any problem when she dies. According to TMZ, she had already taken some smart steps to guard Tupac's music and financial legacy before her death. Afeni Shakur had set up a trust to control all of Tupac's music rights and the paperwork is flawless. She had also named the former head of Warner Bros. records, Tom Whalley, to handle the legend's valuable catalog. The said Trust is reportedly very specific about heirs. Afeni ordered that the money should be shared between some selected charities & family members. Her estranged Husband, Gust Davis, who recently took her to court in a bid to get a share of Tupac's money, a house and more, isn't mentioned in the trust. Hence, the money is 'untouchable' in...

Man U have lost 3-0 to Arsenal and Liverpool this season, lie fifth in the premier league table and are in the F.A Cup final against Crystal Palace but Van Gaal says he is one of the best football managers in the world that's why criticism comes his way. "I can cope with it when the media is writing for six months I am sacked already. It is not new for me," Van Gaal said at United's Player of the Year awards dinner. "For my players, it is not so easy. They are reading it every day. How do you think that affects my authority? What do you think about the way they want to follow m...

Image
           Russell Smith, a pilot with over 50 years of flight experience walked away with minor injuries to his hand and a splitting headache after the six-seater Cessna 421 Twin Engine he was piloting crashed into a huge Oak tree in Alabama and burst into flames. The plane's twisted wreckage was tangled in the branches of the tree as the flames spread and smoke billowed with the pilot trapped inside.                                                           Audrey Morris, a shop owner in the area said "I heard a big boom, I looked out I thought a tornado hit. And then I've seen a plane in a tree." As the flames from the mangled wreck quickly spread to the surrounding vegetation, Mr Morris thought there was no way the pilot could still be alive. But then he saw movement in the cockpit an...

‘Formation’ World Tour, Beyoncé Through ‘Lemonade’-Tinted Glasses

Image
MIAMI — “Crazy in Love,” Beyoncé’s first solo No. 1 single, remains, even 13 years after its release, a signature — an exuberant sparring session of jubilant horns and percussive vocals, overlaid with singing that’s somehow both acrobatic and sauntering. When she started to perform that song at Marlins Park here on Wednesday night, though, it was something else altogether: slurry, gothic, desiccated. She and several dancers had just arrived onstage in adjacent wooden boxes. From afar, they looked like a row of coffins. But after a couple of minutes of stretching “Crazy in Love” like taffy, Beyoncé reset. There were the erupting horns. There was the familiar voice-over introduction by her husband, Jay Z. There was the megawatt smile and the cocky stroll. After a quick detour past a disruptive fun-house mirror, Beyoncé had set everything right again. That transition was a microcosm of this whole concert — the opening night of her 41-date “Formation” World Tour — which bega...
