Two-time Grand Slam champion Simona Halep will be ineligible to play professional tennis until October 2026 after the International Tennis Integrity Agency (ITIA) found that the Romanian violated the Tennis Anti-Doping Programme (TADP) at the ’22 U.S. Open.
Halep was discovered to have roxadustat in her system at the Grand Slam tournament last year, which prompted a suspension by the ITIA. The investigation also found that there were “irregularities in Halep’s Athlete Biological Passport (ABP).

Baseball is a beautiful sport in which on any given day you might see something happen in a game that you’ve never seen happen before.
That occurred in Monday night’s Rangers–Blue Jays game when Texas catcher Mitch Garver found a brilliant way to trick Toronto pitcher Chris Bassitt into being called for a balk. That call allowed Garver to walk home for the game’s first run.
Garver was at third base and, with nobody covering the bag, he made his way really far down the baseline, which got Bassitt’s attention.
The entire NFL world—the Jets, Packers and beyond—seems in a daze in the aftermath of New York quarterback Aaron Rodgers reportedly tearing his Achilles mere snaps into the next chapter of his career.
However, some of Rodgers’s Jets teammates intend to do something about the issue.
After New York’s 22–16 overtime win Monday evening, multiple Jets denounced MetLife Stadium’s FieldTurf playing surface and called for the installation of natural grass.
An MRI on Tuesday confirmed that New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers tore his Achilles tendon in Monday night’s game, ending his season, sources told ESPN.
An MRI Tuesday morning has reportedly confirmed the Jets’ worst fears: Aaron Rodgers is done for the season with a torn Achilles tendon.
The Jets’ staff was quick to identify Rodgers’s injury as an Achilles issue and coach Robert Saleh spoke immediately after the game as if the results of the MRI were a foregone conclusion. One video of Rodgers’s injury perhaps indicates how the Achilles tear was able to identified so quickly.
Following the season-ending injury Aaron Rodgers suffered just four plays into their Week 1 matchup with the Bills, the Jets now find themselves in need of quarterback depth. The topic of how they’ll address that and who’ll be the season-long backup to Zach Wilson will be interesting topic to monitor.
If New York opts to look at a potential trade, the Cowboys could certainly be a team circled as a team to watch following their trade for quarterback Trey Lance.
The looks on their faces when the Jets came back!!!
A Wisconsin bar was the site for one of the greatest stories to come out of Week 1 in the NFL. Hundreds of Packers fans packed Jack’s American Pub in Milwaukee for a promotion that offered free drinks if the Jets lost. It was supposed to be a good riddance to Aaron Rodgers — then things wen’t horribly wrong.
Cheers erupted at the bar when Rodgers was injured in the first quarter, not so much out of spite but the realization their bar tabs were all but free.
The Jets will be worse without Aaron Rodgers, we know that.

The opening week of the NFL has closed, and boy do we have overreactions to get to.
The first week of the NFL regular season has come and gone, and now we get to do the best part of the season after Week 1: it’s overreaction time, folks! Every team who lost is officially bad and should be tanking for the top pick in the draft, and every team who won is Super Bowl-bound and should buy their plane tickets to Las Vegas now while prices are cheap.
It’s always nice when a historically dumb team gives us a chance to celebrate.
This is a bit of a David and Goliath story. Not because the Houston Astros were bigger and stronger than the Washington Nationals, but because the Nationals were so bad at the start of the 2019 season (19-31 in May) you could equate their chances of success to those of a child fighting a giant. And you could equate the Astros’ chances of success to the giant because they won 100+ games three seasons in a row. And a championship in 2017.
