New Delhi: The National Anti-Doping Agency on Tuesday suspended Bajrang Punia for four years for his refusal to provide his sample for dope test on March 10 during selection trials for the national team. NADA had first suspended the Tokyo Games bronze medallist wrestler on April 23 for the offence following which, the World Governing body UWW had also suspended him. Bajrang had appealed against the provisional suspension and NADA’s Anti-Disciplinary Doping panel (ADDP) had revoked it on May 31 till NADA issues the notice of charge. NADA, then on June 23 served the notice to the wrestler. Bajrang, who joined Congress along with fellow wrestler Vinesh Phogat and was given charge of All India Kisan Congress, had challenged the charge on July 11 in a written submission following which hearings were held on September 20 and October 4. “The Panel holds that the Athlete is liable for sanctions under Article 10.3.1 and liable for ineligibility for a period of 4 years,” the ADDP said in its order. The suspension means that Bajrang will not be able to return to competitive wrestling and apply for a coaching job abroad, if he aspires to. “In the present case, since the Athlete had been provisionally suspended, the Panel accordingly holds that the Athlete’s period of his ineligibility for the period of 4 years shall commence from the date on which the notification was sent, i.e., 23.04.2024. “Needless to say that on account of the lifting of the provisional suspension for the period from 31.05.2024 to 21.06.2024 shall not be credited into the total period of ineligibility of four years.” Bajrang has maintained since the beginning that he was given extremely prejudicial and unfair treatment with respect to doping control because of his involvement in the protest against former WFI President Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh. Bajrang also maintained that he never refused to give sample but only demanded to know NADA’s response to his email where he sought answer why expired kits were sent to take his samples in December 2023. NADA also explained the reason for its action, saying that the Chaperone/DCO had duly approached him and informed that he was required to provide a urine sample for dope analysis purposes. Bajrang in his written submission said that the conduct of NADA in two previous instances had created mistrust in the athlete’s mind, especially with NADA failing to acknowledge or even respond to their callous approach towards the doping control process in both such instances, the failure to take responsibility for their action pertaining to their dispersal of duties meant that the athlete was morally bound to take a stance in resort as a senior athlete who holds a voice in the sporting community. Bajrang also said “it was not an outright refusal per se. The athlete was always willing to provide his sample provided that he first received a response from NADA concerning the use of expired kits.” However NADA said, “the outright refusal by the athlete to provide urine sample for the dope test was intentional and deliberate” and that “Athlete has demonstrated utter disregard towards his duties and responsibilities as per Articles 20.1 & 20.2 of the Anti Doping Rules, 2021.”

A northwest Las Vegas pickleball complex in development was singled out this week by U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, who listed the project in a yearly report in which he chastises what he considers wasteful spending. The city is developing the 30-court complex at Wayne Bunker Park through a $12 million grant from the Bureau of Land Management, which also is providing a few acres of federal land for the park’s expansion. “There’s irony in a city synonymous with high-stakes gambling investing $12 million American tax dollars in pickleball — a sport often associated with retirees looking for a low-stakes, leisurely pastime,” Paul, R-Ken., wrote in his 2024 “Festivus Report” released this month. “In short, you’ve been pickled!” It’s the tenth year Rand has produced the report, which takes its theme from Festivus, a Dec. 23 secular holiday popularized by the TV show “Seinfeld” that includes an “airing of grievances.” Paul modifies the idea to share his “airing of (spending) grievance.” Construction of the courts in Ward 4 is slated to begin next year, according to the city. “The BLM sets these grant funds aside for outdoor recreational projects to benefit communities,” a city spokesperson wrote to the Las Vegas Review-Journal Tuesday. “The pickleball complex at Wayne Bunker Park is an outdoor recreational facility and meets the requirements.” In 2023, the City Council voted to accept the BLM grant with pushback from several residents who’d raised issues related to the noise created by the growing and popular racket sport. “We do need more pickleball. We just don’t need it 50 feet from my house, to where I’m going to be exposed to this 24/7,” said resident Steven Priedel at the time. The city said that the grant was awarded through a competitive process that pitted Las Vegas with other Nevada jurisdictions, adding that the funds were raised though the sale of public lands that go toward public projects. “The 2024 Festivus Waste Report shines a spotlight on a grant that’s bouncing its way into the hearts of pickleball enthusiasts everywhere: the grand vision of a 30-court regional pickleball complex in Las Vegas, Nevada,” Paul wrote. “Apparently, Las Vegas has more pickleball players than Elvis impersonators, and these racket-wielding enthusiasts are running out of places to play.” Local governments are racing to keep up with building courts to keep up with public demand. Other projects criticized The pickleball complex was one of more than 30 items listed in Paul’s report. Also highlighted were: $8 million of pandemic-related dollars allegedly stolen by a man who bought an island, more than $15 million in funding for the Internal Revenue Service and more than $15 billion “to push Americans toward electric vehicles they don’t want.” Paul placed blame on rising national debt on “everyone.” He added: “This year, members of both political parties in Congress voted for massive spending bills, filled with subsidies from underperforming industries, continued military aid to Ukraine, and controversial climate initiatives.” Paul said that the debt had surpassed $36 trillion. “No matter how much money the government has wasted, politicians keep demanding even more,” Paul wrote. He complimented billionaires Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s Department of Government Efficiency, an unofficial government-aligned agency established for the upcoming President-elect Donald Trump’s administration. “I’ve been fighting government waste like DOGE before DOGE was cool,” Paul wrote. “And I will continue my fight against government waste this holiday season.” Paul noted that Las Vegas officials and enthusiasts are aiming to bring pickleball tournaments to the city. “Move over ‘World Series of Poker,’ there’s a new game in town,” Paul wrote.

It feels like a holiday miracle as the Toronto Maple Leafs shared a positive update regarding the status of Auston Matthews' injury. When the Leafs lost Auston Matthews it was yet another blemish on a season that has been derailed by injuries. Though the team has done well in the face of adversity, it's still a hard pill to swallow for fans. With speculation that Matthews might not return until next week , and even then it's a only a possibility, many are concerned this is going to be a season long issue that can heavily sway whether Toronto succeeds or fails in the playoffs. Auston Matthews' Injury Hopefully A Thing Of The Past According to NHL Insider Chris Johnston , the Maple Leafs are positive that not only will they be able to narrow down and fix Matthews' injury, but that once they do it'll be history. While it's hard to feel optimistic given that Matthews hasn't passed the eye test this season, Toronto has some of the best medical staff in all of the NHL and with enough recovery and assessment they can nip this injury in the bud. The once dominant Matthews has been a shell of his former self this year and has clearly been bothered since the start of the campaign. With only 11 goals and 12 assists, the captain has been unable to steer the ship as he used to. Toronto has a lot of decision making coming up with regards to Matthews. First, they need to decide if they are going to rush him back for their games immediately after Christmas break; not the best course of action if they want to keep him healthy. They also have to worry about the 4 Nations Face-Off and while they are unable to block Matthews from playing, the team needs to formulate a plan to convince the captain to take a pass on the tournament in favor of a deep playoff push. Luckily for the Maple Leafs they have a few days to gauge how Matthews is going to be, and hopefully a holiday break will be enough for the captain to make great strides in his recovery. But if he doesn't get healthy and Toronto is on the end of another unfortunate playoff exit, it's going to be another long year, with more changes coming as the team goes back to the drawing board.

NoneTHIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Alcohol and lottery ticket sales, Kerala's two main revenue sources, together generated Rs 31,618.12 crore in financial year 2023-24, according to data furnished in the state assembly. This forms one-fourth of the total revenue of the state. Revenue from alcohol sales amounted to Rs 19,088.86 crore, making it the larger of the two main sources. Income from lottery sales was recorded at Rs 12,529.26 crore. These figures combined account for approximately 25.4% of state's total income, highlighting their crucial role in the state's financial ecosystem and providing essential funds for various public services and infrastructure projects. The state's overall income for financial year 2023-24 is reported to be Rs 1,24,486.15 crore. Additionally, there are concerns regarding unclaimed lottery prizes , with govt unable to specify how much revenue was generated from this source. According to Central Lottery Rules 2010, govt is not required to compile or maintain records of funds received from lotteries where prizes were won but not claimed. As a result, the exact amount collected from unclaimed prizes remains unknown, creating a gap in financial transparency. A small segment of lottery ticket purchasers often don't check the results, leading to unclaimed prize money that effectively serves as an additional revenue stream for the state. This phenomenon raises questions about public awareness and engagement with the lottery system. Stay updated with the latest news on Times of India .

Hennessy Advisors, Inc. Announces Listing Transfer for the Hennessy Stance ESG ETF (STNC) to The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC

WASHINGTON – A person accused of accosting U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace in a Capitol Office building pleaded not guilty on Wednesday to a misdemeanor assault charge. Witnesses told police that James McIntyre, 33, of Chicago, shook Mace's hand in an “exaggerated, aggressive” manner after approaching the South Carolina Republican in the Rayburn House Office Building on Tuesday evening, according to a police affidavit. Recommended Videos Mace, who is identified only by her initials in a court filing, posted a string of social media messages about the incident. She said she was “physically accosted” at the Capitol, and she thanked President-elect Donald Trump for calling her Wednesday morning to check on her condition. “I’m going to be fine just as soon as the pain and soreness subside,” Mace wrote. Mace declined to be treated by a paramedic after her encounter with McIntyre, who was arrested Tuesday by the Capitol Police, the affidavit says. Mace told police that McIntyre said, “Trans youth serve advocacy,” while shaking her hand. Last month, Mace proposed a resolution that would prohibit any lawmakers and House employees from “using single-sex facilities other than those corresponding to their biological sex.” Mace said the bill is aimed specifically at Delaware Democrat Sarah McBride — the first transgender person to be elected to Congress. A magistrate judge ordered McIntyre’s release after an arraignment in Superior Court of the District of Columbia. Efforts to reach an attorney for McIntyre weren't immediately successful.
