Simone Biles’ Drug Testing Records Leaked Russian computer hackers are coming for Simone Biles’ good gold-medal name , releasing her confidential Olympic drug testing records and exposing that she tested positive for a banned substance. However, the joke was on them, as she was PARDONED for the trace amounts of the drug found in her system due to the explanation for it. Via E!online : Russian computer hackers acquired and published documents from the World Anti-Doping Agency’s athlete database, which revealed private medical information about the gymnast as well as Serena Williams and Venus Williams—all three of which were reportedly given medical exemptions to use banned drugs. The documents show that Biles—who took home four gold medals at the 2016 Rio Olympics—tested positive for a banned drug on WADA’s list, though there was no misuse of drugs. The International Gymnastics Federation has declined to comment so far, but the athlete still took to Twitter herself to release a statement and reiterate that she did not do anything illegal. The World Anti-Doping Agency’s director general also released a statement, saying, “WADA deeply regrets this situation and is very conscious of the threat that it represents to athletes whose confidential information has been divulged through this criminal act.” The hackers, who go by the name Fancy Bear, warned that they planned to release the medical records of even more athletes from around the world again soon. SMH!! Are the Russians just salty they didn’t produce gold medal gods in this year’s games, so they have to come for our stars’ good records? Getty/AP/WENN/AKM-GSI/Splash/Twitter
Jenelle Evans has confirmed that she is pregnant. And confirmed the gender of her impending baby. And confirmed its due date. And even confirmed the future bundle of joy’s name. Such openness is a stark contrast to the Teen Mom 2 star’s reaction when rumors of Jenelle’s third pregnancy first spread across the Internet. Evans was involved in a car accident in mid-July. As part of the police report, officers wrote that Evans told them she was complaining of abdominal pains … which may have been related to the fact that she was 10 weeks along with her third child. Because the Internet reacted to this speculation with shock and horror, Evans did not go online to verify the pregnancy. Instead, she lashed out at the haters, slamming them for being obsessed with her personal life, yet seemingly not caring one bit about her well-being. “Why not be concerned about my health?!” Evans wrote. “I want privacy. All of you disgust me.” “It’s all about gossip these days… Funny someone else comes out with news they are pregnant and the world is overjoyed.” Well, yeah. Most of those other people have not been filmed exhibiting some rather horrible parenting traits, while also getting into epic screaming matches with their mother and taking a lot of drugs. We really don’t wish to judge parents… or anyone. But this will be Jenelle’s third child by her third man – David Eason – and she hasn’t shown many signs that she even wants to be a mom. But anyway. That was then. And this is now: Evans took to Instagram on Wednesday night and captioned a photo of her and boyfriend David with the aforementioned confirmation(s). “Time to introduce the world to our baby girl soon, Ensley Jolie Eason,” she wrote. “She will be arriving Jan. 28th. We couldn’t be any happier!” So there we have it. Eason, who has a daughter from a previous relationship, added himself on Instagram: “I’m so happy im bout ta cry!!. I love you so much @j_evans1219 and I can’t wait to meet our baby girl Ensley Jolie Eason!!” He wrote this as a caption to the above picture, which depicts Eason kissing Evans and also touching her baby bump. It is a very sweet image, we’ll give him that much. As those who watch Teen Mom 2 online know all too well, this will be Jenelle’s third child with her third baby daddy. She is already mom to six-year-old Jace (with ex Andrew Lewis) and also to two-year-old Kaiser (with ex-fiance Nathan Griffith). Jenelle Evans Ditches Son For Spring Break in Shocking Teen Mom Clip There have been plenty of blow-ups with her centered around these kids, their fathers and also Jenelle’s own parent. Evans’ mother, Barbara, continues to have custody of Jace, as she an Jenelle have long been battling over custody of the little boy, a struggle documented on their hit MTV series. Questions about Jenelle as a parent continue to circulate online and from anyone who has seen her in action on Teen Mom 2. (One of many cases in point above.) But, hey, maybe this will be a new beginning. Maybe it will be the fresh start she needs. It can’t hurt to have some hope, can it? (Please don’t make us regret this, Jenelle.) Unlike losers such as Griffith , perhaps Eason will be a steady, loving, positive influence in her life and in the life of her daughter. View Slideshow: 13 Shocking Jenelle Evans Facts Even We Didn’t Know! “He’s financially stable and emotionally stable,” she told Us Weekly of her boyfriend in December, despite what you might think from TV. “And he’s a great support system for me, and I need that in my life.” See. There’s a fresh perspective right there. There’s an example of self-awareness, delusional as some might say she is. This pregnancy is happening. This child is entering the world. We might as well wish Evans and Eason the very best of luck with her. Right?
Soccer star Hope Solo has been suspended from the U.S. Women’s National Team for six months, the organization announced on Wednesday. The athlete will be ineligible to compete until February . Here disciplinary action comes after the goalkeeper, who helped Team USA to gold in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, lashed out in Rio. Hope slammed the Swedish women’s soccer team after the U.S. was stunningly defeated and knocked out of medal contention early. Sunil Gulati, the president of the organization, criticized “the comments by Hope Solo after the match against Sweden at the 2016 Olympics.” Solo’s comments “were unacceptable and do not meet the standard of conduct we require from our National Team players,” Gulati said. “Beyond the athletic arena and beyond the results” of the match, “the Olympics celebrate the ideals of fair play and respect.” The USWNT felt Solo didn’t live up to those ideals. “We expect all of our representatives to honor those principles,” Gulati said, explaining the suspension, “with no exceptions.” After the August 12 defeat, Solo said she thought the losing Team USA played a “courageous game,” while Sweden … did not. “I think we showed a lot of heart. We came back from a goal down. I’m very proud of this team,” the controversial star began. “But I also think we played a bunch of cowards,” she said. “The best team did not win today. I strongly believe that.” Obviously, her comments did not go over too well. Swedish coach Pia Sundhage, who previously coached Team USA to those two Olympic gold medals, blasted the goalie for her attitude. “We won the game. They played more attacking football than we did. We defended very well,” Sundhage told The Los Angeles Times . “It’s OK to be a coward if you win.” In response, Solo retweeted Sports Illustrated ‘s full transcript of her much-discussed quote and admitted that she’s not the best loser. “Losing sucks. I’m really bad at it,” she wrote. Hope Solo Taunted by “ZIKA” Chants in Olympic Opener That wasn’t sufficient to avoid a suspension, but at least it was honest; Hope does not mince words, or hold back her actions. After posting photos that some felt were disrespectful about the host nation, Solo was taunted with “Zika” chants earlier in the games. This isn’t Solo’s first brush with trouble. In 2015, she was benched for 30 days for “an incident that occurred during the current WNT training camp” that was held in Carson, Calif. Allegedly, there was drunken driving of the team van by her husband, who’s been by her side throughout a few of Solo’s lower points. Hope was arrested for domestic violence in 2014, and has been involved in some eyebrow-raising incidents with Jerramy Stevens (below):
50 Cent Explains Outrage Over “Power” Peen Scene [Video] Fans of POWER may recall getting an eyeful of 50’s real live man-meat on the show a few weeks back…and then hearing 50 get all upset about it after the fact, after willingly pulling his peen out in front of Starz’ cameras. During his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night, he explained why he was shocked to see his manhood on his flatscreen after the fact… “I knew it was there, but in the original clips, it was darker,” he said. “It wasn’t on, like, a big screen, like a life-sized version. It wasn’t like an accident. Courtney was like, ‘I didn’t want to show it to you in the beginning, because I didn’t think you needed to see it at that point…You just gotta take one for the team.’” WELP! Don’t pull it out if you ain’t trying to show it off… YouTube

Kenyan Olympian Trained For Sport Via YouTube While most of the world-class athletes that end up competing in the Olympics train for years on end with state-of-the-art facilities and coaches…some end up having to pick up their prowess however they can . Via People : On Saturday, Julius Yego will represent Kenya in the men’s javelin throw at the Olympics. Unlike most of his competitors, Yego didn’t have access to a world-class training facility or even a coach. Instead, he perfected his sport by watching YouTube videos. “The need to succeed in javelin pushed me to the cyber café to watch great javelin throwers,” Yego, 27, tells PEOPLE. “I studied what they were doing to improve my training since I didn’t have a coach.” Yego says he fell in love with the javelin throw at a young age, practicing the sport with sharpened wooden sticks as his primary school didn’t have the proper equipment. “I realized I had the talent so I kept going,” he says. “I had the dream of being in the Olympics to compete with the best.” His perseverance paid off: Yego excelled in national competitions in high school, winning two junior national championships. The whole time, he supplemented his practice by watching videos of the sport’s greatest athletes and copying their techniques. Determination takes you places! Getty
Tour Bus Loaded With 300 Kilos Of Cocaine Busted In Paraguay According to BusinessInsider , there are some folks in Rio who are in LOVE with the coco… Officials in Paraguay intercepted a tour bus loaded with 296 kilos of cocaine on its way to the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro on August 14. The bus, empty except for two men and the cocaine, was stopped on the Paraguay side of the Friendship Bridge, which connects Ciudad del Este, Paraguay, with Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil, according to a report from Paraguayan news site ABC and first spotted by InSight Crime. Paraguayan authorities were tipped off that something was amiss with the bus — which still had the logos of a transport company — when they noticed that it had no passengers. Authorities charged two men, a 52-year-old and 46-year-old, with drug trafficking and other crimes. The cocaine, in 274 packets, was hidden in a meter-long, 20-centimeter-wide false bottom underneath a mini fridge. The bus was sold by VIPS Tours SA in late July, with the buyer promising to remove the logos. Upon examining the seized cocaine, officials determined that its likely origin was Colombia, the world’s largest producer of the drug. They said that it would have had a value of $3 million on the Brazil market, according to ABC. Authorities also seized cellphones and cash.
