Ozil can't rescue Arsenal on his own, says Arteta
LONDON — Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta believes the polarizing figure of Mesut Ozil can be key in resurrecting the club's season, but the German star cannot do it on his own.Ozil, 31, who was recently tipped to be heading for the exit door at the Emirates, was accorded a standing ovation on Sunday by fans despite the 2-1 loss to Chelsea."Mesut was very effective against Chelsea. I'm hoping he can sustain that level every three or four days," said Arteta whose side welcome Manchester United on Wednesday."His numbers physically have improved so much. And he's willing, that's what I can tell you. He's been showing it in training. The structure has to help him to be able to take everything he has inside."On his own he cannot do it, he needs the collective...

Ben Stokes
England star Stokes happy to swap 2019 success for father's good health
LONDON — England's Ben Stokes has insisted he would trade all the personal success he has enjoyed in 2019 if it meant his father was no longer in hospital.Stokes's participation in this month's first Test against South Africa, which saw several England players struggle on at Centurion following a bug that spread through the squad, was called into doubt when his father, Ged, who had traveled out to watch his son, was admitted to a Johannesburg hospital with what a team spokesman said was a serious illness.The 64-year-old was admitted to intensive care but his condition improved sufficiently for his son to play in a match England lost by 107 runs to fall 1-0 behind in the four-Test series.Ged Stokes remains in hospital, with wife Deborah at his side, while the rest of the...

Guardiola adamant City are England's 'team of the decade' despite slump
MANCHESTER, England — Pep Guardiola has insisted Manchester City are English football's team of the decade, despite his side heading into 2020 some 14 points behind runaway Premier League leaders Liverpool.Statistics appear to prove him right given City have won 13 domestic trophies since 2010, with only Chelsea (nine) within touching distance of that mark.City have clearly benefitted from the financial clout they have enjoyed since being taken over by Abu Dhabi ownership in August 2008.City manager Guardiola reached the peak of his powers when he oversaw an unprecedented treble in the 2018/19 season that saw the club win all three major English trophies — Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup — in the one campaign as well as the Community Shield.Even though their league form has...

Rhys Webb
Wales' Webb delighted to return home to Ospreys nest
LONDON — Wales scrum-half Rhys Webb expressed his "relief" after rejoining Welsh club Ospreys on a two-year contract from next season following his departure from Top 14 outfit Toulon.The 31-year-old — who had signed a two-year deal in 2018 with Toulon which had an option of an extra season — had suffered numerous injuries and increasing competition from France half-back Baptiste Serin.However, it was largely the fact his family failed to settle in France and returned to Wales that persuaded him to call it a day and return to the team with whom he had spent a decade prior to his move abroad."It was difficult to be away from my family and young children," Webb told the Ospreys website."I have loved my time in Toulon but it's a relief to come home to the...

England ready to support scrapping five-day Tests
LONDON — Five-day Test matches could become a thing of the past from 2023 after England supported calls to cut them by a day, according to Tuesday's Daily Telegraph.A spokesperson for the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) told the British newspaper that four-day Tests could help ease the strain on players' busy schedules."We believe it could provide a sustainable solution to the complex scheduling needs and player workloads we face as a global sport," they said."We're definite proponents of the four-day Test concept, but cautiously so, as we understand it's an emotive topic for players, fans and others who have concerns about challenging the heritage of Test cricket."The ECB's comments come a week after Kevin Roberts, the chief executive of...

WADA better positioned to wipe out drug cheats, chief says
MONTREAL — Outgoing WADA President Craig Reedie says the Russian doping scandal shows that clean sport is under attack, but the anti-doping organization now has the tools to better weed out drug cheats.Taking stock of his six years at the helm of the World Anti-Doping Agency, the 78-year-old Briton insists the group is "stronger" than ever as it faces the "unprecedented" challenge of the doping crisis in Russia."Considering the last six years in particular, I am especially pleased to see how WADA responded to the challenges it faced since 2014, in particular the Russian doping crisis," he said in his end-of-term message.The crisis, he recalled, led to the creation within WADA of an "intelligence and investigations" service, which played "a...
