Boom Boom! First big 2021 doping fallout.

Sha'carri caught out taking a toke off the doobie - bad news for the 100m show...

I think it's three months for "recreational" marijuana - but that covers Tokyo unless she can get an injunction or delay.

Think they did well to qualify bluesY - they don't seem to be able for the big guns when the game is taken to them. Hockey appears to be one of the sports where the Olympics is everything - totally outshines the World Championships - so in theory this is a big step up from their tournament a cuple of years ago.

Even at this peak, Tokyo numbers per head of population are less than a third of Irish numbers. All retail businesses, bars and restaurants still open in this "state of emergency"

The 15% fully vaxxed score is the killer here
