H.S. golfer self-reports violation, loses state title
A South Dakota high school golfer cost herself and her team a state championship when she self-reported an error she’d made on her scorecard.
Sioux Falls Christian won the Class A girls state golf tournament on Tuesday, with senior Kate Wynja finishing first overall for the second year in a row. Wynja, who finished several shots ahead, realized she’d submitted an incorrect scorecard, crediting herself with a 4 on No. 18 instead of a 5.
“I knew I needed to tell them,” Wynja told the Argus Leader . “It was really sad, mostly because I knew what the result would be. I knew that I would be disqualified, and it broke my heart for the team. But I knew I couldn’t leave without saying something.”
Ex-swim world champion Magnini faces doping ban
Two-time swimming world champion Filippo Magnini reportedly is facing a ban of up to eight years for doping.
The Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Italy’s anti-doping prosecutor requested an eightyear ban for Magnini and a fouryear ban for his relay teammate Michele Santucci.
Nado Italia, Italy’s anti-doping authority, declined comment on the case as it is ongoing.
Magnini, who is retired, and Santucci were questioned by anti-doping authorities last October over their relationship with nutritionist Guido Porcellini, who is being investigated for allegedly distributing illegal drugs.
The Gazzetta reports Wednesday that the prosecutor is now also investigating the swimmers for use of banned substances.
Jury clears ex-wrestler CM Punk in defamation suit
Jurors have cleared former World Wrestling Entertainment champ CM Punk of defamation and invasion of privacy in a lawsuit brought by a wrestling doctor.
Punk, whose real name is Phil Brooks, hugged his wife, former WWE star A.J. Lee., as the panel in Chicago delivered its verdict on Tuesday.
WWE doctor Christopher Amann had sued Brooks over comments that he made in a podcast in 2014 in which he criticized WWE doctors for failing to diagnose a lump that was a staph infection. Fellow wrestler Colt Cabana hosted the podcast and also was cleared.
Amann claimed he’d never been shown the lump.
Brooks’ lawyer said her client did not lie.
