Larry Nassar was a respected sports doctor who was employed by USA Gymnastics and worked with hundreds of young gymnasts. Nassar was accused in 2017 by Rachael Denhollander of sexually abusing her and soon after a number of female gymnasts came out to accuse Nassar of sexual abuse.

Nassar admitted to his crimes and also possessing child pornography and was sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison. He was serving time at the United States Penitentiary Coleman in Florida when he was stabbed 10 times by another inmate.

Nassar Remains In A Stable Condition 

The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed that an incident had taken place but did not disclose the name of the victim. The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed that an FBI investigation will now take place into the incident as the Florida prison is a maximum security federal prison.

The latest report suggests that Nassar is in a stable condition and is expected to be moved to another prison in the near future. Some of the gymnasts that he abused including Denhollander took to Twitter to say that none of them are rejoicing at what happened to Nassar.

The 2023 World Cup final will take place on Nov 19 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

The 2024 Paris Olympics is set to take place from 26 July to 11 August and fans around the world will be making plans to make their way to Paris and be a part of this amazing event. One thing fans in attendance will have to be prepared for is the absence of alcohol!

Only VIPs Will Be Allowed To Drink 

A total of 700 events will take place during a 15 day period at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Fans in attendance will be able to enjoy all of the events but without alcohol as France does not allow alcohol sales to take place in any of its sports stadiums based on Evin’s law.

The Organizing Committees for the Olympic Games can seek an exception to the law that will allow the general public to have access to alcohol for a max of 10 events. However, the Organizing Committees have confirmed that they will not look to seek any exemption. Only VIP attendees will have the exception to consume alcohol at the stadium!

VIP fans will get access to bars that offer beer and wine along with champagne!

Now that Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk have agreed to fight in the UFC, the two billionaires will make plans to train and prepare for their fight in the Octagon. While no official date has been announced by the UFC, this mega-fight looks likely to take place as both Zuckerberg and Musk appear to be serious about it.

Musk and GSP Set To Team Up

We know that Musk is really serious about this fight because he just accepted an offer to train and prepare for his fight with Zuckerberg. Georges St-Pierre (GSP), the former UFC welterweight and middleweight champion offered to train Musk for his fight and Musk accepted his offer.

GSP retired from the UFC in 2017 after moving up to middleweight and beating champ Michael Bisping to win the championship. He retired soon after and gave up the UFC middleweight belt but continues to train and be in top shape. GSP has trained at Canada’s Tristar gym under Firas Zahabi for a long time.

Musk has made a good choice in partnering up with GSP as he has one of the best MMA fight IQs in the game!

The first Ashes test turned out to be a cliff hanger that went down to the final session on day 5 with both teams having an equal chance to win the game. England made a few fumbles throughout the test and that ended up costing them in the end.

Aussie skipper Pat Cummins whose batting has declined in recent years, rose to the occasion in the final session to take Australia over the line. Cummins played a crucial role by scoring 44 runs out of 73 balls to help Australia win the first Ashes test.

Usman Khawaja Wins Man Of The Match 

Opening batsman Usman Khawaja ended up winning the man of the match award for scoring 141 and 65 during the game. Khawaja received a bit of criticism in the second innings from some of the commentators who felt he wasn’t scoring enough runs to give Australia a chance to win.

Khawaja stuck to his game plan of playing an anchor role and letting the other batters go for the runs and in the end the plan worked out just well for Australia. The second Ashes test will starts on 28 June at Lord’s.
