 Former Manchester United star Paul Scholes handed six-month driving ban Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes has been handed a six month driving ban after he racked up two convictions in the space of two days. The 51-year-old was caught speeding in a Range Rover in March while on a late-night drive through Cleckheaton in West Yorkshire. West Yorkshire Police brought a prosecution over the incident, as Scholes’ car had been clocked at 37mph on a 30mph stretch of residential road. The ex-England star was also taken to task by Greater Manchester Police after a Mercedes registered in his name was caught driving at 49mph in a 30mph zone in November last year. Scholes was then prosecuted for failing to respond to two police letters asking for confirmation that he had been the speeding driver.

Canadian curling teams face cheating allegations at Winter Olympics 


 Controversy has erupted at the Winter Olympics as Canadian curling teams face allegations of cheating, sparking debate over whether players illegally double-touched the stone after release. Both the men’s and women’s teams are under scrutiny, adding pressure on Canada after a disappointing mixed doubles performance and a critical stretch for the women’s squad.

The controversy began Friday when Swedish curler Oskar Eriksson accused Canadian Marc Kennedy of touching the rock again after release, prompting an angry response from Kennedy. Video clips later circulated showing what appeared to be a double-touch, though Kennedy maintained his innocence, and Canada won the match 8-6. On Saturday, Canadian skip Rachel Homan faced a similar accusation during a match against Switzerland, leading an umpire to remove the stone from play. Video circulated suggesting Homan’s stone was also double-tapped, and Canada lost that game 8-7. World Curling later issued a reminder that touching a stone during forward motion is prohibited and results in its removal from play.

Kennedy suggested the accusations might be a targeted attempt to catch the Canadian team, while Homan said she was being unfairly singled out. The disputes have created tension in a sport known for its camaraderie, straining relations between the Canadian and Swedish athletes. The Canadian teams are now not only adjusting technique under scrutiny but also fighting to stay in medal contention, as losses to Switzerland have put them on the back foot. All eyes will be on potential rematches, especially if the men’s team faces Sweden in the semifinals, promising high-stakes drama for fans worldwide.
