FINA warns Horton but fellow swimmers applaud podium protest
GWANGJU, South Korea — Mack Horton has received a warning from swimming's world governing body FINA over his refusal to share a podium with China's Sun Yang in protest of the gold medalist's doping history.Sun, who had served a doping ban in 2014 and was labelled a "drug cheat" by Horton before the Rio Olympics final, was given the green light to compete in Gwangju after being cleared by a FINA panel of breaching the governing body's rules earlier this year.However, the World Anti-Doping Agency is seeking to overturn the decision at the Court of Arbitration for Sport, leaving Sun's career hanging in the balance a year out from the Tokyo Olympics.After finishing runner-up to Sun in the 400 meters freestyle on Sunday, Olympic champion Horton took his silver...

NIMES, France — With only five days of actual racing left, there is still no clear front runner in this year's Tour de France, making it the most open and exciting competition in 30 years.In 1989, Laurent Fignon was left distraught as he missed out on the title by eight seconds, with American Greg Lemond pulling off the narrowest margin of victory in the Tour's history.Julian Alaphilippe holds a 1:35-minute lead going into the final week but with the Frenchman fading, the yellow jersey appears to be slipping off his back as the finishing line gets closer.With the riders placed between second and sixth separated by just 39 seconds, Alaphilippe knows that the chasing pack led by defending champion Geraint Thomas will be a constant threat to his hopes of ending France's 34-year...
