HOT
Simone Biles
She’s small at 4ft 8ins but she packs a great punch. Witness how she dealt with an American gymnastics post wishing her happy birthday with the message, “We know you will just continue to amaze us and make history.”
Her answer: “How do you like to surprise me and do the right thing … have an independent investigation.” She will not let Larry Nassar’s sexual abuse scandal pass and she shouldn’t.

Roman Abramovich and Gary Neville
And anyone who has had the decency to do what they can to help a few others in a unique time of crisis. By opening their hotels to NHS employees, they earn healthy credit from the donors of all clubs.
Roman Abramovich offered the NHS use of the hotel and committed to pay all costs
Tom Brady
His 20-year run with the New England Patriots is finally over and on the balance of six Super Bowls, a record of four Super Bowl MVP awards and three times the NFL MVP, you would have to say he did quite well for a sixth round concept pick.
Tom Brady ended his 20-year run with the New England Patriots and moved to Tampa this week
NOT
French Open
They took care of themselves by postponing it to September, without much attention to tour events already scheduled for the same two weeks.
A colleague aptly compared their behavior to one of those hoarders who bought all the toilet paper from the supermarket.
Mauricio Sulaiman
The World Boxing Council president said he is more likely to believe Tyson Fury than the farmer who claims that his defense against a 2016 doping charge is based on a lie.
With that degree of thoroughness of a kingpin, it’s no wonder the sport is utterly dirty.
WBC chief Mauricio Sulaiman’s thoughts on the Tyson Fury scandal reveal why boxing is dirty
Thomas Bach
He goes on to believe that nothing as insignificant as a global pandemic will get his show off the road.
Nobody is crazy enough now to think that postponing the Olympics is easy; but apparently there are those at the IOC who think it’s okay for athletes to go out and train when the rest of us are in.
Thomas Bach continues to believe that the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games are still safe from coronavirus
