ATHLETICS: Convicted killer Oscar Pistorius probably wouldn’t be welcome at future Diamond League events, Brussels chief Wilfried Meert said yesterday.
The athlete could face 15 years in jail for the culpable homicide of girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp, but when he’s sentenced on October 13 he could just get a fine, leaving him free to compete.
Paralmypic organisers have already said that the double amputee would be allowed to compete in the 2016 Games if he’s not in jail, but Meert said most Diamond League chiefs were uncomfortable having Pistorius at their meets.
FOOTBALL: Rio Ferdinand revealed yesterday that he found it “impossible to forgive” John Terry over his handling of the racism row involving his brother Anton.
The FA banned Terry for four matches for racist language directed at Anton Ferdinand on the pitch, though he was cleared in a court of law.
But, though the pair became estranged, Ferdinand insisted he would have been “happy” to rekindle their on-field partnership for England.
GOLF: Paul Casey celebrated the recent birth of his first child yesterday by winning his 13th European Tour title at the Dutch Open.
The Englishman carded a closing 66 at Kennemer to finish 14 under par, one ahead of three-time champion Simon Dyson.
Compatriot Andy Sullivan came third but also scooped a £60,000 trip to space for a hole-in-one on the 15th. He said he’d have to “see what the missus says” before jetting off.
SNOOKER: Stuart Bingham cruised to a 10-3 final victory over Mark Allen to win the Shanghai Masters yesterday.
Basildon-born Bingham knocked out home favourite and defending champion Ding Junhui on Saturday and steamed through the encounter with an out-of-sorts Allen.
The Northern Irishman had stunned world number one Mark Selby 6-5 in his own semi-final.
