Djokovic's Charity Event Exposes Risks Faced by Professional Athletes 18 Established 1961 Sports Thursday, June 25, 2020 Photo of the Day MLB season to start in July: Commissioner LOS ANGELES: The 2020 Major League Baseball season is set to start in July, commissioner Rob Man- fred said Tuesday, after players signed off on health protocols and agreed to report to training. The announcement that the season will begin July 23 or 24 comes after weeks of wrangling between owners and players over a framework for a season shortened by the coronavirus pandemic. “Major League Baseball is thrilled to announce that the 2020 season is on the horizon,” Manfred said in a statement. “We have provided the Players Association with a schedule to play 60 games and are excited to provide our great fans with baseball again soon.” Manfred’s comments came after the Major League Baseball Players Association said its members would report to training camps on July 1. “All remaining issues have been resolved and play- ers are reporting to training camps,” the union said. MLB and the MLBPA had been at loggerheads over how to salvage a season that should have begun on March 26. The league proposed a succession of deals that would have seen the players receive only a percent- age of their salaries, prorated by number of games played. Players pushed back against the league proposals, Mohammed Balooshi (ARE) races during stage 4 of Rally Dakar 2020 from Neom to Al-Ula, Saudi Arabia.. — Photo taken from www.redbullcontentpool.com noting that they had already agreed to a pay cut in March and should not be required to accept a further reduction in salary. — AFP Djokovic’s charity event exposes risks faced by professional athletes Kyrgios hits out at Djokovic ‘stupidity’ BELGRADE: Novak Djokovic aimed to best of intentions but it turns out it was a ing bodies are expected to have strict pro- help people affected by the COVID-19 big mistake.” tocols is place. pandemic with his charity tournament but While the players hugged at the net, “We have to be careful because we also with a number of players testing positive played basketball, posed for pictures and have to be conscious that even with ex- for the virus after attending the event, it attended news conferences together, treme measures, you could actually end up could imperil the resumption of profes- Djokovic also organised nights out in Bel- having some players testing positive,” ATP sional tennis. grade and pictures and videos of him danc- chairman Andrea Gaudenzi told the New The men’s world number one was the ing with the players made it to social media.
