Gomez responds to 2-year doping ban, says his lawyers are looking into the matter

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:06:15 GMT

MONZA, Italy (AP) — Monza forward Alejandro “Papu” Gomez announced Sunday that he has asked his lawyers to look into his doping suspension and insisted that the banned substance came from his son’s cough medicine.Gomez was banned for two years on Friday in a doping case stemming from his time at Spanish club Sevilla. He tested positive last October, shortly before joining the Argentina squad that went on to win the World Cup.The ban could potentially end the 35-year-old player’s career and Gomez spoke out on the matter for the first time on Sunday, with a lengthy statement on Instagram.“Not only have I always rigorously respected all the rules, but I have also stood up as a strong defender of clean sport and sportsmanship, condemning categorically any forms of doping … I have never intended to, and I will never, resort to a banned practice,” Gomez wrote.“The alleged offense originates from the presence of Terbutaline in my system, after I accidentally ingested it in a spoonful of my...

Nick Saban enjoying his resilient Alabama team even if the ride has been bumpy

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. (AP) — Alabama’s season may have aged coach Nick Saban a bit, but he’s not complaining.Nothing has come easy so far for the ninth-ranked Crimson Tide.Alabama eked out a win over Arkansas, sputtered at South Florida, survived the Mississippi game and needed a huge second-half surge to defeat Tennessee on Saturday and jump back into the top 10.All that’s mostly OK with Saban. Or at least it was in the afterglow of that 34-20 victory over the Volunteers, the team’s sixth straight win.“I love it. It’s been great,” Saban said after the game. “The challenges are great. I enjoy coaching this team. That’s not to say that they’re not taking years off my life, but I’m OK with that.”Alabama (7-1, 5-0 Southeastern Conference) went into its bye week as the only SEC Western Division team without a league loss. Next up: hosting No. 15 LSU, the biggest remaining division challenger, in two weeks.The Tide hadn’t really looked like a national contender from start to...

After a summer of Barbenheimer and Beyoncé, can US consumers still afford the holiday season?

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:06:15 GMT

Minneapolis (CNN) — Ballpark attendance boomed this summer, Barbenheimer revived the box office and a Renaissance of live performances brought concerts into new Eras.In mid-2023, Americans’ enduring efforts to satisfy post-pandemic cravings for experiences hit a fever pitch.“Everybody went out on tour,” said Keith Gentili, a 55-year-old New Hampshire resident who saw 13 shows this summer, a total that surpassed what he’d see in an entire year pre-pandemic. “It was like a buffet. The buffet was open.”Consumer spending this year remained strong despite high inflation and rising interest rates.But after the summer of splurge, some economists and consumer analysts anticipate that those and other pressures could cause that resilience to buckle — perhaps meaningfully so — during the critical holiday season.However, it also could mean that holiday spending just might look a little different and skewed more toward experiences than it has done in past years.“I think that, rationally, you wou...

Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:06:15 GMT

FOXBORO — Mac Jones’ message to his Patriots teammates during the defining moment of his season was a simple one.“Take a deep breath, and let’s go do it,” the quarterback said as his offense huddled down by three points with 1:58 left in Sunday’s game against the Bills.Jones has been in these situations and came up short too many times in his NFL career.
