LATEST: Russia Banned From Global Sports for 4 Years Over Doping

The World Anti-Doping Agency’s unanimous decision, if upheld, would exclude Russia from the 2020 Olympics, and the Winter Games and World Cup in 2022. Global antidoping leaders agreed unanimously on Monday to banish Russia from international sports — including next summer’s Olympic Games in Tokyo — for four years, the latest and severest punishment yet connected to a yearslong cheating scheme that has devastated global sport. The World Anti-Doping Agency’s board convened on Monday for a special meeting close to the International Olympic Committee’s headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland. The decision is unlikely to surprise many given the scale of Russia’s attempt to conceal, obfuscate and frustrate attempts to unmask the beneficiaries of a state-powered doping program, remarkable for its sophistication and scope. Confirmation of the penalties, which includes specific bans on Russian sports and government officials and prohibits the country from hosting international events, comes four years after the first details…

Tulsi Gabbard Shares “Imagine” Cover On Anniversary Of John Lennon’s Death

Move over, Mayor Pete! There's a new Democratic presidential challenger in the music game. Sunday marked 39 years since John Lennon's death. To commemorate the anniversary, Tulsi Gabbard — the 38-year-old veteran and Congressperson from Hawaii, who has been a contentious presence in the Democratic primary campaign, most famously when Hillary Clinton accused her of being a Russian asset, — posted footage of herself and husband Abraham Williams singing Lennon's signature song, "Imagine." Gabbard's version of the famous piano ballad recasts it as a ukulele lope. Musically it's nothing special, but it's still very interesting to see an American presidential candidate singing a song about abolishing all borders, to say nothing of the first practicing Hindu in Congress extolling the virtues of a religion-free secular humanist utopia. You can watch it below. Imagine. #johnlennon #imagine #beatles @johnlennon pic.twitter.com/yEoTy8vA6Q— Tulsi Gabbard (@TulsiGabbard) December 8, 2019
