July 19, 2023 Alba To Reunite With Former Barca Team-Mates At Inter Miami

Alba To Reunite With Former Barca Team-Mates At Inter Miami

Former Spain international defender Jordi Alba will sign for Inter Miami and join up with former Barcelona team-mates Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets, team owner Jorge Mas said on Tuesday.

The 34-year-old Alba, who made 93 appearances for Spain, terminated his contract with Barcelona in May.

Left-back Alba won six Spanish league titles with Barca and was part of the team which won the 2015 Champions League.

He also played in the Spain team which won the 2012 European Championship.

Messi and Busquets took part in their first training session with Miami on Tuesday, ahead of possible debuts on Friday against Mexico’s Cruz Azul in the Leagues Cup.

July 19, 2023 Amusan Vows To Fight After Charge For Missing Tests

Amusan Vows To Fight After Charge For Missing Tests

Nigerian 100m hurdles world record holder Tobi Amusan has vowed to "fight" after being charged with missing three doping tests.

The 26-year-old will miss the World Athletics Championships in Budapest next month if the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) upholds the charge.

The double Commonwealth Games gold medallist denies taking performance-enhancing substances.

Amusan set a new world record in 100m hurdles at the World Championships in Eugene, Oregon in July 2022, crossing the line in 12.12 seconds.

Athletics works to a 'three strikes' rule and it is alleged Amusan missed that number of doping tests in the space of 12 months.

World Athletics' anti-doping rules state any athlete failing to declare their whereabouts for a doping test on three occasions over a 12-month period is ineligible to compete for two years, subject to a reduction to a minimum of one year depending on the degree of fault.

Amusan won the Diamond League meet in Silesia on Sunday, her second win in the series this season after a victory in Stockholm.

The World Athletics Championships will be held in the Hungarian capital from 19-27 August.

July 18, 2023 André Onana: Manchester United Secures Agreement for Inter Milan Goalkeeper

André Onana: Manchester United Secures Agreement for Inter Milan Goalkeeper

Manchester United has successfully reached a £47.2m (55m euros) agreement to acquire the services of Inter Milan goalkeeper André Onana.

The deal includes an upfront payment of £43.8m, with an additional £3.4m in add-ons. The Old Trafford club is eager to have the Cameroon player join them on their upcoming tour of the United States, pending the arrangement of a visa for the 27-year-old.

Manager Erik ten Hag, who previously worked with Onana at Ajax, pursued the goalkeeper at the end of the season. Onana is expected to sign a five-year contract with an option for a sixth, indicating United's confidence in his abilities.

Ten Hag believes that Onana's addition to the squad will be significant, and his pursuit of a new goalkeeper prompted David de Gea to reject a new contract offer. Manchester United is looking forward to welcoming Onana and bolstering their team ahead of the new season.

July 18, 2023 Ryan Giggs: Former Man Utd Star Acquitted of Charges Related to Ex-Girlfriend

Ryan Giggs: Former Man Utd Star Acquitted of Charges Related to Ex-Girlfriend

Former Manchester United footballer and ex-Wales manager, Ryan Giggs, has been acquitted of allegations of assaulting his ex-girlfriend, Kate Greville, and her sister, Emma.

The Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) withdrew the charges against Giggs during a hearing at Manchester Crown Court. The 48-year-old sports personality had consistently denied the accusations of assault and controlling or coercive behavior towards Kate Greville, as well as the assault of her sister, Emma.

Judge Hilary Manley directed that Giggs was not guilty on all three counts. The decision came after the jury failed to reach verdicts during his four-week trial in August the previous year, despite more than 20 hours of deliberations.

The planned retrial, scheduled to start on 31 July at Manchester Crown Court, was rendered unnecessary as the CPS decided not to proceed with the case. Kate Greville expressed her unwillingness to testify in a retrial, citing the toll it had taken on her and her sister during the initial proceedings.

Ryan Giggs was not present in court on the day of the decision, as the judge had previously agreed that his attendance was unnecessary.

With the charges now withdrawn, Giggs can move forward without the cloud of legal allegations hanging over him.
