@chelsreport_@JacobsBen From the information being portrayed, it clearly shows that the FA had already charged him 4 years but kept that information private.
🚨 More on Mykhailo Mudryk exclusive. The FA has banned the Chelsea winger for four years for an anti-doping offence, the maximum punishment.
Mudryk went to CAS, filing documents on 25 February, 2026.
CAS confirm the Ukrainian is now appealing against the "imposed period of ineligibility of four years" adding that the parties are "currently exchanging written submissions, and a hearing is yet to be scheduled."
Chelsea have declined to comment. More on @talkSPORT.🇺🇦
@AccordingToLee@BuweekulaPrody That is not the only source of these teen pregnancies. I just put it that we shouldn't ignore what these youngings are doing as teens as well. Majority of the teen pregnancies are between teens. That should be addressed as well
@calvindadon@BuweekulaPrody South Africa has a pedophile issue. Literally a few weeks ago a 12 year old girl was raped by a 50 year old. This is the norm. That’s the unfortunate reality.
@BuweekulaPrody@AccordingToLee I once attended a school hearing on behalf of my neighbour where her grade 8 daughter was accused of having a foursome in the school toilets and recorded the event. These crackpots are screwing one another at most
@Who_am_i_1000@AccordingToLee Basic science knowledge tells us that it's possible from as early as 12. Don't always blame men for these kids' misfortunes

By Tuesday evening, temperatures in KwaZulu-Natal were starting to drop.
A welcome reprieve from the blazing heat.
The shift in weather patterns is always more pronounced in areas like Newark.
Wide open spaces, extensive greenery, fewer houses.
It’s mostly rural, and adjacent to the Tugela River.
It's one of those places that's easy to miss if you are not looking for it.
Much like Alan Monswamy's modest home.
Just off the R102, hidden from sight.
But, unfortunately, not to everyone.
Around 9pm that night, four young men silently approached the Monswamy residence.
It was familiar to at least one of them.
After all, Alan - who did maintenance work - was his employer.
He knew the Ford Ranger they would eventually steal.
He knew the layout of the property they would rob.
He knew the family they'd do unspeakable things to.
All seven relatives who'd later spend their final moments begging for mercy in a soggy, secluded bush, far away from home.
Under the cover of darkness, the men slithered into the fenced property.
Inside, Alan had settled in for the night with his family.
His wife, Sandy, and their children Kraidon, 27, and Shamarie, 20.
His in-laws, Mooniamma Padayachee, 79, Mariamma Appanah, 83 and Cliffy Padayachee, 51.
Their attackers wouldn't have struggled to gain access through the kitchen door.
There's no security gate.
Unheard of in big cities, but pretty normal in rural KZN.
A now-tragic testament to the inherent trust here.
Alan may have reacted first to the intruders' presence.
But the silver 9mm pistol the criminals had - stolen in Flagstaff, EC, in February - was the decider.
🚨🇸🇳 Nico Jackson’s agent Diomansy Kamara: “Nico is having an excellent season with 28 matches played, 10 goals”.
“African champion, German champion and also qualified for the (cup) final. Bayern Munich did not want to activate the buy option, and Nico remains 100% focused on the Champions League semi-final against PSG, a very important moment for him and for the club”.
“Bayern is a very big institution; the most important thing is to win as many trophies as possible by the end of the season”.
“The future… who can predict it? Trust the Process, Everything Is Possible”.
A family of seven has been killed in Newark in KwaZulu-Natal’s north coast. The victims’ ages range from the 20s to the 80s ,four women and three men. They had been shot and stabbed. @DasenThathiah reports. Tune in to #eNCA, channel #DStv403
