Another nail in the coffin for greyhound racing with the Welsh Government announcing that it intends to ban the sport as soon as possible. Only one greyhound track in Wales, Valley, but comes on the back of a similar ban in New Zealand. Who next? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Saudi Arabian government investment company buys stake in financially-stricken DAZN, who recently bought unwanted Club World Cup TV rights from FIFA, who gift-wrapped a World Cup to Saudi Arabia. An incredible coincidence of entirely unrelated events in which all 3 parties are massive beneficaries.

Former France Galop President Édouard de Rothschild on Pierre-Charles Boudot: “He should have been convicted of the acts he is accused of or be able to freely practice his profession, it is inconceivable that he should be in the intermediate situation that he has been in for more than four years.“

New at Bounces: ATP #1 Jannik Sinner settles and gets a three-month ban, which is a huge deal for men’s tennis, but may have been a good deal for Sinner. Sinner still might lose the #1 ranking, though. Read (free for all, but please subscribe!) here: www.benrothenberg.com/p/jannik-sin...

Reports saying Jannik Sinner has done a deal with WADA and will accept a three month ban. Will allow him to play the French Open. Deals like this will do nothing to appease the doubters, just make them think the system is even more rigged to help the superstars of the sport

Fascinating dispute emerging in France racing. With PMU turnover continuing to plummet, Trotteur Francais has demanded the PMU leadership to be overhauled otherwise they may walk away from the agreement that sees the PMU finance gallops and trotting on a 50/50 basis from its annual profit

So the first policy announcement by Kemi Badenoch, who has spent the past six months accusing immigrants of failing to "integrate", is a plan to make it harder for immigrants to integrate

French racing industry hoping that a censure motion is not successful in parliament tomorrow. If it fails, budget will pass and horse racing avoids the tax increase other forms of wagering will be subject to

I went to Rotherham United, a tale of two stadiums and a club that finds itself in an impossible situation. The question: is any of this really on them, or is it on English football? inews.co.uk/sport/footba...

As someone who has reported on AI for 7 years and covered China tech as well, I think the biggest lesson to be drawn from DeepSeek is the huge cracks it illustrates with the current dominant paradigm of AI development. A long thread. 1/
