On the way to his second Tour de France victory last year, Denmark's Jonas Vingegaard was facing tough questions regarding his pace before he even arrived in Paris.

How was he going so fast?

How was it possible to be over seven minutes ahead of a cyclist of Tadej Pogačar's caliber?

Some reporters even explicitly asked: "Are you cheating?".

The Edmonton Oilers fell in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup playoffs on Monday, losing to the Florida Panthers 2-1 at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise.

It is the first Stanley Cup championship for the Panthers, who joined the NHL as an expansion franchise in 1993. They won it in their third trip to the final, after losing in 1996 to the Colorado Avalanche and last year to the Vegas Golden Knights.

Israel will send a delegation of about 85 athletes to the Olympic Games in Paris in July. Protesters opposed to the war in Gaza have called for limited participation by the Israelis, and a post on Threads falsely claimed Israel is “out” of the Games. The International Olympic Committee has said Israeli athletes will be allowed to compete.

Fans heading to Yankee Stadium hoping to pay in cash at the iconic ballpark for their favorite concessions have been thrown a curveball: go cashless or pay extra.

Look, I understand that the hot dog eating contest is a joke. The Nathan’s Famous International Hot Dog Eating Contest represents the epitome of American hucksterist gluttony, a nation of plenty making its decadent abundance repulsively real with a row of human beings smashing as much processed beef refuse into their mouths as quickly as our species’ biological limitations will allow them to. I can certainly attest that it never fails to disgust whatever friend or family member I harangue into watching it with me every July 4.

U.S. Capitol Police at last night’s Congressional Baseball Game didn’t take any chances, security-wise, when climate activists stormed the field. Within 60 seconds of rushing the field, the perps were lying facedown in the dirt.

Eight Climate Defiance activists were arrested, and though none were injured, the group posted on social media, “We were brutalized tonight — beaten and bruised as we took over the Congressional Baseball Game. Our bodies are bloodied but our spirits are unmoved. We will build a better world. We will rise again. We will prevail. Just you wait.”

(NewsNation) — Transgender American swimmer Lia Thomas’ dreams of competing in the 2024 Paris Olympics ended after an international court rejected her appeal against rule changes by the world swimming’s governing body.

Why did the court reject Thomas’ case?

The Switzerland-based Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) dismissed Thomas’ request for arbitration with the World Aquatics governing body.

A Texas federal judge blocked the Biden administration's efforts to extend federal anti-discrimination protections to LGBTQ+ students.

In his ruling Tuesday, Judge Reed O'Connor said the Biden administration lacked the authority to make the changes and accused it of pushing “an agenda wholly divorced from the text, structure, and contemporary context of Title IX.” Title IX is the 1972 law that prohibits discrimination based on sex in educational settings.
