Australia's NRL Heavily Fines Four Players for Quarantine Breaches 18 Established 1961 Wednesday, April 29, 2020 Sports Photo of the Day Short-track Olympic champ Ahn retires MOSCOW: Six-time short-track Olympic champion Viktor Ahn announced Monday he is retiring due to repeated injuries. Ahn, 34, was born in South Korea but became a naturalised Russian before the 2014 Sochi Olympics where he won three gold medals. In a letter published by RIA Novosti news agency he said permanent knee pain and other injuries were behind his decision stop competing. “It has become harder and harder to stay in shape, which is why I decided that it was time to stop the sport.” Ahn is the most successful competitor in the discipline. Competing for South Korea as Ahn Hyun-Soo, he won three gold medals at the Turin Olympics in 2006 and bronze in the 500m. Ahn was unable to participate at the 2010 Vancou- ver Games undergoing several knee operations, and, following disagreements with his team, became a nat- uralised Russian. His success on the rink and camaraderie with Russian President Vladimir Putin meant he was one of the faces of the Sochi Games in 2014. Ahn was not named on a list of athletes eligible to compete at the 2018 Pyongyang Games, after the World Anti-Doping Agency alleged a state-sponsored doping program in Russia. He described his exclusion as “scandalous”, saying SOCHI: Egor Posokhin performs at Rosa Khutor Peak in Sochi, Russia. — Photo taken from www.redbullcontentpool.com there was “no concrete reason” that he not be al- lowed to compete in his native country. — AFP Australia’s NRL heavily fines four players for quarantine breaches Beaumont v/s Pichot as World Rugby chairman election kicks off SYDNEY: Australia’s National Rugby Aus$30,000 suspended, while Roberts- without crowds and under strict isolation League heavily fined four players for Davis and Cleary were ordered to pay restrictions.

    Cincinnati Reds Press Clippings March 27, 2017 THIS DAY IN REDS HISTORY 1993-The Reds trade Chris Hammond to the Marlins for Hector Carrasco and Gary Scott MLB.COM Mesoraco not expected to be on Opening Day roster Club waiting for catcher to build up workload so he can play back-to-back games By Mark Sheldon / MLB.com | @m_sheldon | March 26th, 2017 + 93 COMMENTS GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- Working his way back from left shoulder and right hip surgeries last year, Reds catcher Devin Mesoraco has been free of setbacks or issues throughout Spring Training. The only thing Mesoraco is lacking, really, is time. Mesoraco isn't expected to be on the Opening Day roster after camp breaks because he hasn't built up enough of a catching workload yet. "I'd just say it's unlikely," Reds manager Bryan Price said on Sunday. "We can't rehabilitate him [in the Majors]. We tried to have scheduled off-days for him last year. For me, we're better served with him being 100 percent and saying if he needs to catch three days in a row, he catches three days in a row. If we say we want him to go every other day, you can't do that. "Let's say every other day he catches one day and [Tucker] Barnhart takes a foul tip off his thumb and needs a couple of days. Devin's got to be the guy that plays. It's unfair to him for us to activate him before he's ready to handle the workload." Mesoraco, 28, has been limited to 39 games over the last two seasons -- including 18 behind the plate.
