The 12 time Olympic medallist received the ban after he posted a photo on his social media accounts which showed him receiving an intravenous injection. Although Lochte was being injected with permitted substances, athletes cannot receive such injections unless they relate to hospitalisation or when allowed under the terms of a USADA-approved exemption. As neither category applied to Lochte, he was given the 14-month suspension. </p></div> </div> <!--[if mso]></td></tr></table><![endif]--> </div> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" class="divider " style="border-collapse: collapse;table-layout: fixed;border-spacing: 0;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;vertical-align: top;min-width: 100%;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"> <tbody> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td class="divider_inner" style="word-break: break-word;border-collapse: collapse !important;vertical-align: top;padding-right: 10px;padding-left: 10px;padding-top: 10px;padding-bottom: 10px;min-width: 100%;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"> <table class="divider_content" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" style="border-collapse: collapse;table-layout: fixed;border-spacing: 0;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;vertical-align: top;border-top: 1px solid #BBBBBB;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"> <tbody> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="word-break: break-word;border-collapse: collapse !important;vertical-align: top;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"> <span></span> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <!--[if (!mso)&(!IE)]><!--></div><!--<![endif]--> </div> </div> <!--[if (mso)|(IE)]></td></tr></table></td></tr></table><![endif]--> </div> </div> </div> <div style="background-color:#DFE1EF;"> <div style="Margin: 0 auto;min-width: 320px;max-width: 700px;overflow-wrap: break-word;word-wrap: break-word;word-break: break-word;background-color: #FFFFFF;" class="block-grid "> <div style="border-collapse: collapse;display: table;width: 100%;background-color:#FFFFFF;"> <!--[if (mso)|(IE)]><table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td style="background-color:#DFE1EF;" align="center"><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" style="width: 700px;"><tr class="layout-full-width" style="background-color:#FFFFFF;"><![endif]--> <!--[if (mso)|(IE)]><td align="center" width="700" style=" width:700px; padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-top:5px; padding-bottom:5px; border-top: 0px solid transparent; border-left: 0px solid transparent; border-bottom: 0px solid transparent; border-right: 0px solid transparent;" valign="top"><![endif]--> <div class="col num12" style="min-width: 320px;max-width: 700px;display: table-cell;vertical-align: top;"> <div style="background-color: transparent; width: 100% !important;"> <!--[if (!mso)&(!IE)]><!--><div style="border-top: 0px solid transparent; border-left: 0px solid transparent; border-bottom: 0px solid transparent; border-right: 0px solid transparent; padding-top:5px; padding-bottom:5px; padding-right: 0px; padding-left: 0px;"><!--<![endif]--> <div class=""> <!--[if mso]><table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td style="padding-right: 10px; padding-left: 10px; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;"><![endif]--> <div style="color:#555555;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:120%; padding-right: 10px; padding-left: 10px; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;"> <div style="line-height:14px;font-size:12px;color:#555555;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;text-align:left;"><p style="margin: 0;line-height: 19px;font-size: 16px"><a style="color:#0068A5;text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44924906" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Match-fixing: Parma striker Emanuele Calaio banned and club given points deduction</a></p><p style="margin: 0;line-height: 14px;font-size: 12px"> <br /></p><p style="margin: 0;line-height: 14px;font-size: 12px">Emanuele Calaio, who is a striker for Italian professional football club, Parma, has been given a two year ban by Italy's National Federal Court for match fixing.

It is reported that as part of the deal, McGregor has to, among other things, complete community service and attend an anger management course. </span></p></div> </div> <!--[if mso]></td></tr></table><![endif]--> </div> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" class="divider " style="border-collapse: collapse;table-layout: fixed;border-spacing: 0;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;vertical-align: top;min-width: 100%;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"> <tbody> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td class="divider_inner" style="word-break: break-word;border-collapse: collapse !important;vertical-align: top;padding-right: 10px;padding-left: 10px;padding-top: 10px;padding-bottom: 10px;min-width: 100%;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"> <table class="divider_content" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" style="border-collapse: collapse;table-layout: fixed;border-spacing: 0;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;vertical-align: top;border-top: 1px solid #BBBBBB;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"> <tbody> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="word-break: break-word;border-collapse: collapse !important;vertical-align: top;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"> <span></span> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div class=""> <!--[if mso]><table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td style="padding-right: 10px; padding-left: 10px; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;"><![endif]--> <div style="color:#555555;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:120%; padding-right: 10px; padding-left: 10px; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;"> <div style="line-height:14px;font-size:12px;color:#555555;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;text-align:left;"><p style="margin: 0;line-height: 19px;font-size: 16px"><a style="color:#0068A5;text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/44980113" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Financial Fair Play: QPR agree £42m settlement after breaking spending rules</a></p><p style="margin: 0;line-height: 17px;font-size: 14px"> <br /></p><p style="margin: 0;line-height: 17px;font-size: 14px"><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 16px;" id="_mce_caret" data-mce-bogus="1"><span style="font-size: 12px; line-height: 14px;">The English Football League (EFL) and football side QPR have reportedly reached a settlement worth almost €42m (that will reportedly be paid over 10 years) after an arbitration panel dismissed QPR's claim that the Financial Fair Play rules are unlawful. The case relates to QPR breaking spending limits in the 2014 season with wages of more than €75m, which represented 195% of the club's turnover of €38.6m. As part of the settlement, QPR will pay a €17m fine and €3m of the EFL's legal costs, and the club's shareholders agreed to write off €22m of outstanding loans. QPR will also be under a transfer embargo for the January 2019 transfer window.  </span></span><br /></p></div> </div> <!--[if mso]></td></tr></table><![endif]--> </div> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" class="divider " style="border-collapse: collapse;table-layout: fixed;border-spacing: 0;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;vertical-align: top;min-width: 100%;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"> <tbody> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td class="divider_inner" style="word-break: break-word;border-collapse: collapse !important;vertical-align: top;padding-right: 10px;padding-left: 10px;padding-top: 10px;padding-bottom: 10px;min-width: 100%;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"> <table class="divider_content" align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" style="border-collapse: collapse;table-layout: fixed;border-spacing: 0;mso-table-lspace: 0pt;mso-table-rspace: 0pt;vertical-align: top;border-top: 1px solid #BBBBBB;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"> <tbody> <tr style="vertical-align: top"> <td style="word-break: break-word;border-collapse: collapse !important;vertical-align: top;mso-line-height-rule: exactly;-ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%"> <span></span> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <div class=""> <!--[if mso]><table width="100%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0"><tr><td style="padding-right: 10px; padding-left: 10px; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;"><![endif]--> <div style="color:#555555;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height:120%; padding-right: 10px; padding-left: 10px; padding-top: 10px; padding-bottom: 10px;"> <div style="font-size:12px;line-height:14px;color:#555555;font-family:Arial, 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, sans-serif;text-align:left;"><p style="margin: 0;line-height: 19px;font-size: 16px"><a style="color:#0068A5;text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.reuters.com/article/us-football-nfl-concussions-nfl/concussion-claims-top-500-million-in-first-two-years-of-program-idUSKBN1KK2EA" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Concussion claims top $500 million in first two years of program</a></p><p style="margin: 0;line-height: 14px;font-size: 12px"> <br /></p><p style="margin: 0;line-height: 14px;font-size: 12px">In January 2017, the National Football League and former NFL players reached a settlement in relation to the players' claims that the NFL was hiding what it knew about concussions.
