Caster Semenya to carry flag for South Africa in closing ceremonies
- August 29, 2016
Until past year, there was a threshold limit on testosterone for women athletes. Semenya and Chand are not the only ones the rules were apparently lifted for. This 2015 document related to the participation of transgender athletes shows that transgender men may compete without any biological testing, while transgender women are subject to hormone testing, continuing to add extra scruitiny to women's sports.

Patrick Reed wins Barclays, takes FedExCup lead, nails down Ryder Cup spot
- August 29, 2016
He was still in contention, two shots behind with four holes to play, and at least figured to have one of the eight automatic spots on the Ryder Cup team locked up. A birdie on the 12th then doubled Reed's advantage and, when Fowler was again unable to save par from sand on the 15th, the destiny of the title was effectively decided and allowed Reed the luxury of bogeys on the 16th and 18th.

What we learned: Siemian does enough for Broncos
- August 29, 2016
We got too comfortable with that past year. "We did some gun stuff, so we changed it up a little bit and it worked". Perhaps just as impressive is that he's the first Northwestern quarterback to start an opener since the legendary Otto Graham in 1955. (more...)

- August 29, 2016
After the position switch, there was talk that Gibson was unhappy at Ohio State and would consider transferring. Gibson violated Ohio State's student code of conduct. Urban Meyer, however, said that Gibson had made huge strides during the offseason to be a contributor for the Buckeyes.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: 'Our decision-making against Burnley was poor'

I was very pleased for our players against a very, very good side, make no mistake. However, when asked if the loss would see him look to the transfer market, Klopp said: "If one game should change my mind then I would be a real idiot".
