Caster now has to reduce her testosterone to a certain level; does that mean that other female athletes will be allowed to increase their testosterone to that level, in order to ensure they are on the playing field as defined by the…[Read more]

It might be the difference in someone being gold or silver.

If you’re taller than everyone else should you be restricted in distance too? The perfect athlete still has to train and want it.

Why isn’t the ruling ‘off you go to the men’s race’? Instead of ‘here take these drugs?

I’ve only read that she is lesbian I haven’t seen statement from her that she considers herself heterosexual so that’s really interesting.

The CAS media statement for the ruling on her suggests that the IAAF regulations apply to “XY DSDs”, people born with variations of sex characteristics including 46 XY chromosomes. But the 2018 IAAF regulations refer to a small range of variations including (46…[Read more]

It’s interesting that we don’t. But I can’t help but feel if she was a swimmer or cyclist this ruling would be the same?

How many categories do we need to have?

I’m not sure we need better players at the moment. It’s difficult to know though because I don’t think many of them are playing anywhere near their potential. Three damp squibs as managers is worrying, you’ve got to think that by the law of averages the next one is going to be better.

Propananol is a beta blocker and reduce stress hormones and reduce blood pressure and heart rate.

and the owners were much too soft when agreeing to let him carry on.

Arsene either doesn’t have a retirement vineyard to potter around on ,or he stubbornly believes he can produce another team capable of challenging.

His players don’t do nearly enough. Welbeck was terrible the…[Read more]

Supposedly liked how much of a “career girl” I was, that I was financially independent, earning more than him, blah blah blah.

They could have chosen not to hire him based on his previous behaviour but that ship has sailed. If they want rid of him they’ll probably have to pay him off.

I highly recommend the gentlegrip brand of socks that you can buy from shoewawa – quite pricey but they are really good – no rubbing and no blisters

He seems a poor man manager. He moans. He doesn’t get results. He doesn’t make the best of the talent that’s at his disposal.

Sean Dyche is the exact opposite to the above, and more likely to replicate Fergie.
