She stressed her father’s service in the Ukrainian military and hopes the NCAA will allow her to play elsewhere this season, noting she wasn’t informed of Minaeva’s signing until after the transfer portal closed.

Sabalenka halts US Open match, citing strong marijuana smell — 5dSabalenka interrupted her US Open third-round match to report a strong smell of marijuana in the Louis Armstrong Stadium, then proceeded to win 6-3, 6-4 and extend her New York winning streak to 16.

Novartis Phase 3 Pelacarsen Trial Misses Cardiovascular Endpoint — 5dNovartis reported that the Phase III Lp(a)HORIZON trial did not meet its primary endpoint, showing that lowering Lp(a) with pelacarsen reduced levels but did not significantly reduce cardiovascular events in approximately 8,000 patients on guideline-directed therapy; the company said full data will be presented at a future medical congress. Meanwhile, Royalty Pharma outlined its financial stance on the pelacarsen investment, noting the trial’s failure won’t derail its recovery of invested funds and that royalties on Spinraza remain a key part of its portfolio as it pursues its 2030 receipts target, with Ionis royalties potentially reverting after a defined cap. The developments reflect a broader scientific and market reevaluation of Lp(a)-targeted therapies and their commercial prospects.

Jared Kim Wonder how many other Lp(a) drugs in the pipeline just got a lot riskier to fund after this readout.

Champions League Plans Tributes for Nepal Flood Victims — 3dUEFA will pause before 18 Champions League matches to honor victims of Nepal’s floods and landslides, with a moment of silence and a banner reading “You are not alone Nepal” displayed at all fixtures as solidarity.

Marcus Bell A banner is fine but I hope clubs also donate money to rescue and rebuilding efforts, that would mean more than symbolism.

He also said Cuba will continue maintaining lines of communication with Washington despite the lack of progress and political will on the U.S. side.

Tom Gallagher Sixty plus years of embargo and still no real breakthrough, at some point both sides need to try something different.
