 Marissa Bode was 'denied boarding a flight because I'm disabled' Marissa Bode, best known for her role in Wicked, shared on TikTok that she was recently denied boarding a Southern Airways flight because of her wheelchair.  She explained that when she asked gate agents for help locating her boarding pass, they questioned whether she could stand.  After she said no, they told her she could not board since all of the airline’s planes require passengers to climb stairs.  Bode described the experience as “blatant segregation,” criticizing the airline for failing to accommodate disabled travelers. Southern Airways’ contract of carriage states that passengers must be able to ascend and descend steps to board, and because its planes carry fewer than 28 passengers, the airline is exempt from providing lifts under the Air Carrier Access Act.  However, Bode said her manager had confirmed with the airline beforehand that she would be accommodated, making the denial even mo...

ARGENTINA WORLD CUP WINNER, PAPU GOMEZ GETS TWO-YEAR BAN FOR FAILED DRUGS TESR BLAMED ON KIDS COUGH SYRUP. (PHOTO).



Argentina World Cup winner, Papu Gomez gets two-year ban for failed drugs test blamed on kids cough syrup.

Argentina World Cup winner, Alejandro ‘Papu’ Gomez has been hit with a two-year ban for failing a drug test after he reportedly took his children’s sickness syrup in the build-up to the tournament.

Gomez lifted World Cup with Lionel Messi and other players last December following a dramatic penalty shootout victory against France in the final.

However, it has emerged that he failed a test for a prohibited substance shortly before the World Cup got underway in November 2022.

Gomez and his club side at the time, Sevilla, were made aware of the failed test months ago, but the player has only received his sanction this week. 

The 35-year-old has blamed the failed test on taking his children’s sickness syrup without consulting with Sevilla’s doctors after having a bad night’s sleep, according to Relevo.

However, his reason was deemed not acceptable for him to avoid a ban.

He must now decide to appeal the verdict in an attempt to get his ban reduced or overturned. 

The news is a bitter blow for Serie A outfit Monza, who only signed Gomez as a free agent last month.

Gomez is best known for his time at Atalanta between 2014 and 2021.

The winger made 252 appearances for the club, scoring 59 goals, as he led the club into the Champions League for the first time in their history.

He left the Italian club in early 2021 after falling out with manager Gian Piero Gasperini.
