Men's tennis number one player tested positive twice for an anabolic steroid, will forfeit $325,000, but won't be banned
The theory is someone using the banned substance was giving him a lot of massages, thereby passing on the banned substance "transdermally."
An independent panel held a hearing on Aug. 15 and "determined a finding of No Fault or Negligence applied in the case, resulting in no period of ineligibility," according to the ITIA.
...
He will, however, lose the $325,000 and 400 points that he had earned at the tournament in Indian Wells.
FWIW, a substack article from May:
Over the past decade the drug has resurfaced in Italian football and across Italy’s wider sporting landscape. Between 2019 and 2023, 38 Italian athletes have tested positive for clostebol despite the fact it is scarcely produced in oral or injectable form by pharmaceutical companies
...
If an athlete handles the cream, even in applying it to another individual, then they can risk testing positive. This has been one of the common defences used in Clostebol cases.
...
It remains bewildering, however, that Italy’s athletes are missing the warning sign printed on clostebol creams and sprays in Italy, which clearly states that the product contains ‘doping’ substances.

Russian tennis player arrested in Paris for alleged match-fixing
The arrest relates to last year’s tournament when bookmakers issued alerts for abnormal betting patterns during [her] first-round women’s doubles match . . . .
During that encounter, hundreds of thousands of euros were reportedly wagered on a break of serve at 2-2 in set two. [She] was culpable for three of the points conceded during her service game, including two double faults as she lost her serve to love.

Brett Favre says he will repay the "$1.1 million in welfare money that he received for multiple speeches where he did not show up"
AP:
In an audit, White said his employees identified $94 million in questionable spending by the agency, including payments for sports activities with no clear connection to helping needy people in one of the poorest states of the U.S.In other famous athlete news:
The audit was released months after a former Human Services director and five other people were indicted on state charges of embezzling about $4 million. They have pleaded not guilty and are awaiting trial in what White has called one of Mississippi’s largest public corruption cases in decades.

Class struggle at the Australian Open
So this is the moment where Elliot Benchetrit asks the ballkid to peel his banana. I’m glad the umpire (John Blom) stepped in and told him off. pic.twitter.com/TK1GET68pG— Alex Theodoridis (@AlexTheodorid1s) January 19, 2020
