    ​IPC Suspends Nigeria’s Para Powerlifter Almaruf Due to Doping Infractions    

     

    The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) has imposed a three-year suspension on Nigerian para powerlifter Kafilat Almaruf due to doping violations. The IPC confirmed in a statement that Almaruf’s urine sample, taken out of competition on July 11, 2024, tested positive for an anabolic substance from an external source. This disciplinary action results from her violation of anti-doping rules, specifically the IPC Anti-Doping Code. “Almaruf’s (GC/C/IRMS) distinguishes between naturally produced anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) and prohibited anabolic substances from outside sources.” The GC/C/IRMS analysis verified that an anabolic substance from an external source was found in Almaruf’s urine sample.

Exogenous anabolic steroids are listed as prohibited substances in the 2024 World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List under the category S1.1 Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (AAS) and are banned at all times. The IPC provisionally suspended the athlete on 19 August 2024 while her case is being resolved. The athlete agreed to the commission from the ADRV and the consequences suggested by the IPC. Due to her infraction, she will be barred from competing and engaging in other sports activities (except for approved anti-doping education or rehabilitation programs) for three years, from 19 August 2024 to 18 August 2027.

He was the top scorer in the league for December, netting in all six games as Newcastle secured four victories, one draw, and one loss, putting them in contention for a top-four finish. Isak’s notable performances included a hat-trick against Ipswich Town and goals against Liverpool, Brentford, Leicester City, Aston Villa, and Manchester United.

    ​Man City has reached an agreement to sign Lens defender Khusanov for €50m.    

     

    Manchester City have struck a deal with RC Lens for the transfer of Uzbekistan international Abdukodir Khusanov. His strong performances at the beginning of the season have attracted considerable interest. The 20-year-old center-back has been pursued by clubs such as Real Madrid, Newcastle United, and Manchester City, who are poised to finalize the signing of Khusanov. After only a few months as a regular starter at Lens, the Ligue 1 club was eager to profit from their young talent and assigned Jorge Mendes the task of finding a new home for the defender. It appears that home will be the Etihad Stadium. According to Foot Mercato (via Get French Football), Manchester City has had a €50 million offer, including bonuses, accepted by Les Sang et Or. Khusanov is in favor of the transfer to the current Premier League champions, and unless there is a last-minute higher bid, the agreement could be finalized in the next few hours.

    ​Ancelotti: Competing Against Barcelona in the Supercopa Final Will Be Challenging    

     

    Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti has revealed that playing against Barcelona in the Supercopa final will be a significant challenge for his squad. It is worth noting that Real Madrid beat Real Mallorca 3-0 in the semi-finals on Thursday. After the match, Ancelotti expressed his happiness with the team’s win over Mallorca, acknowledging that the final against Barcelona will present a tougher obstacle. Lately, the Clásico has consistently been unpredictable. We have had matches where we won comfortably and others where we lost 0-4. “It’s hard to predict how the final will turn out, but it’s sure to be entertaining due to the amount of talent on the field.” I’m unsure how it will turn out. “We will strive to surpass Barcelona.” “We’re quite near our best level.” We keep obtaining results, and we need to proceed in this manner. Instead of just searching for the highest level, we need to focus on maintaining consistency in both performance and outcomes.
