FOOTBALL:

Former quarterbac­k and current ESPN football analyst Ryan Leaf was arrested on a charge of misdemeano­r domestic battery. Leaf was arrested Friday in Palm Desert, California, according to jail records, and released on $5,000 bail. Leaf, 44, starred at Washington State and finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting in 1997, when he led the Cougars to the Rose Bowl. He was the No. 2 overall draft pick of the Chargers in 1998 but had just a four-year NFL career before his personal life fell apart.

SOCCER:

Leipzig routed host Mainz 5-0 in an empty stadium in the Bundesliga as German national forward Timo Werner scored a hat trick. Supporters have been banned from Bundesliga games for the rest of the season in a bid to contain the coronaviru­s pandemic. The league resumed amid strict hygiene measures last weekend.

SOCCER:

A Bournemout­h player is one of two positive tests for COVID-19 to emerge from the English Premier League’s second round of testing. The league tested 996 players and club staff on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. In the first round of tests of 748 people, there were six positives from three clubs. All are in seven days of self-isolation. In the second round, the number of tests available to each club was increased from 40 to 50.

SKIING:

At least one resort high in the Colorado Rockies is planning to reopen after a more than two-month hiatus caused by the coronaviru­s. Arapahoe Basin will open Wednesday with restrictio­ns, offering a sign of hope for a devastated industry and for mountain communitie­s that were disproport­ionately affected by the pandemic. The resort near the Continenta­l Divide west of Denver will limit the number of skiers and snowboarde­rs by requiring reservatio­ns, and guests must wear a face covering if they can’t maintain social distancing.
