In a statement issued on Thursday, F1 said that the racing league, the Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile (FIA) and several F1 teams came to the decision that “it is impossible to hold the Russian Grand Prix in the current circumstances.” Its statement comes shortly after Russian President Vladimir Putin announced that Russian military forces were going into Ukraine to conduct a military operation.

Recently, a bankruptcy case quietly made its way through federal court that will allow members of the Sackler family to skirt thousands of lawsuits nationwide and put off paying the $8.3 billion they owe Americans from a 2020 settlement. These lawsuits are critical to holding Purdue and other drugmakers accountable for misleading the public about the addictive potential of opioid painkillers. What has been overlooked, however, is the perfectly legal and incredibly harmful marketing tactic that drug companies use to drive overprescribing....
You could’ve stopped the fight there. No way No. 5 Oregon (7-1, 5-1) loses this game. No way Mariota loses this game. The Ducks won 45-16 and made a few things clear in the process: Oregon is a playoff team: The Ducks deserve and should be ranked in the top four when the second installment of College Football Playoff committee rankings are released Tuesday. Stanford (5-4, 3-3) might not seem like a quality win by record, but it is a statement win for the Ducks....
It annoys Lynn Cutler that so many fellow Democrats these days cheerily tell her, “See you in Cleveland!” Cutler, vice chair of the Democratic National Committee, isn’t going to Cleveland. True, there will be a national convention of Democrats there next month. Some 200 Democratic elected officials are planning to attend. But it won’t be the party’s party. The Democratic Leadership Council, a six-year-old, self-styled “mainstrean” group, is sponsoring the Cleveland conference as part of its effort to reshape the party’s profile....
Biden peeked his head out of his hideout in Delaware to give a speech at a mostly-empty auditorium in his hometown in Delaware. President Donald Trump gave a rousing speech in North Carolina to an open-air crowd. Both cities were named Wilmington—named for for the same man—Spencer Compton, the British First Earl of Wilmington. Both are supporting Biden, though there have been some celebrities backing Trump. Both candidates in the 2020 presidential election are trying to appeal to their base....

Krzyzewski attended Duke’s practice Monday, but felt ill after and did not coach Tuesday. It was the first time he had missed a game since the 1994-95 season.

The animosity between Duke and Carolina fans peaks during rivalry week, with both universities’ student newspapers hurling insults at each other. But with the passing of legendary Tar Heels coach Dean Smith earlier this month, the Duke student paper opted to take a different approach this year. Instead of the typical center-spread that says “GTHC” (otherwise known as “Go to Hell, Carolina”), this season’s gameday edition of the Duke Chronicle features a double-page spread with a Dean Smith quote....

The centre-back’s misfortune ultimately counted for little as Brighton ran out comfortable 4-1 winners to end Swansea’s 10-match unbeaten run in all competitions. But he did earn unfortunate share of history when he got in the way of Tammy Abraham’s long-range effort five minutes from time. The ball took a hefty touch off Dunk and flew past the helpless Mat Ryan, giving Swansea the slightest glimmer of hope before Jurgen Locadia restored the three-goal advantage....

The Elephants capitalised on Perak’s hesitancies in defence to score through Wan Zaharulnizam, Afif Amiruddin and Matthew Davies - all scored between the 36th to 41st minute of the first half....
Dust was the culprit, and it was everywhere. One day in May, the Health Ministry declared an emergency, schools were shuttered, Baghdad’s governor suspended work and several provinces mandated a public holiday to keep people safe. Iraqis have dealt with a lot over the last 50 years—a brutal dictator followed by a bloody war followed by savage terror at the hands of ISIS. Climate change may be what dominates our next 50 years....
The latest clash between the two UFC fighters stems from a Poirier claim Sunday night that McGregor and his team failed to deliver on a promised $500,000 donation. It would have gone to Poirier’s charity, “The Good Fight,” after their UFC 257 bout in January, which Poirier won via second-round TKO. McGregor responded in kind, saying that Poirier never said exactly where the money was going and how it would be used....
