Sreesanth's life ban lifted

Former Indian fast bowler S. Sreesanth who was handed a life ban by the Board of Control for Cricket in India in 2013 in connection with an IPL spot-fixing case has had his ban lifted along with 41 others. They were discharged by a Patiala House Court in New Delhi..

Reports said the entire case was dropped due to lack of evidence. "No regrets, no complains against anybody, God-willing I will return to cricket. Hopefully I can take permission from BCCI to use their facilities again and regain fitness," Sreesanth told NDTV.

Six-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt showed a return to form to win the 100m at the Anniversary Games in London. The Jamaican, who has been struggling for fitness, won both his heat and the final in 9.87 seconds in wet conditions at the Olympic Stadium.

"I really wanted to run faster," said Bolt, 28, who defends his world title next month. "But it's getting there." Meanwhile, Britain's double Olympic champion Mo Farah received a great reception as he won the 3,000m. Farah, 32, was competing in England for the first time since allegations of doping were made against coach Alberto Salazar, claims which Salazar and Farah both deny. Olympic heptathlon champion Jessica Ennis-Hill, returning to the scene of her greatest triumph, ran 12.79 in a world-class 100m hurdles - just 0.25secs off the personal best she set on this track three years ago.
