The question on racing fans’ minds today is: Will Medina Spirit be allowed to run in this Saturday’s Preakness? David Joseph, a spokesman for the Maryland Jockey Club (the organization that runs the Preakness), told Newsweek a decision has not yet been made. The Maryland Jockey Club (MJC) and 1/ST Racing (the company that owns the Pimlico Race Course where the Preakness is held) also released a statement on Sunday following the announcement about the positive drug test....

Flynn’s speech surfaced in a brief video that was circulating on Twitter on Thursday, and has been viewed nearly 500,000 times.

The most recent roundup of vitamin C research, published this spring in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, evaluated several decades of studies that included more than 11,000 subjects taking 200 or more milligrams of vitamin C each day. (The government’s recommended daily allowance is 60 milligrams.) The research found that vitamin C did little to reduce either the length or severity of colds among the general population. However, studies have found that it may lower the risk of catching a cold among people whose bodies are under high physical stress—think marathon runners or soldiers on subarctic exercises....

What is it about vitamin D that lends itself to such impressive study results? Can vitamin D really help prevent the common cold? What Is Vitamin D? Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that can be found in just a few food sources. It can also be synthesized (made) in the human body as a result of exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays in sunlight.

Canada’s Minister of Public Safety Bill Blair told CTV News he was mulling over adding further extremist groups to Canada’s list of recognized terrorist organizations following the deadly pro-Donald Trump attack on January 6—in which the Proud Boys played a part.

In 2019, neo-Nazi groups Blood & Honour and Combat 18 were also included in the list of terrorist entities by Canada....

The Freedom Convoy, which arrived in Ottawa on January 28, was first created in response to a federal vaccine mandate that went into effect for cross-border truck drivers last month. Prior to the mandate, those drivers were exempted from vaccination due to their essential role in the supply chain. Over the last two weeks, Canadian truck drivers and other frustrated citizens have taken over Ottawa, demanding the federal and provincial government lift all COVID-related restrictions....

But that doesn’t mean players have also forgotten about the 2018 Winter Olympics. Marc-Edouard Vlasic of the San Jose Sharks and Brad Marchand of the Boston Bruins, who both hail from Canada, teamed up on Friday to chirp the NHL over its decision regarding the international tournament. For the first time since 1994, the NHL will not send its players to the Winter Games, much to the chagrin of said players....

Some would say no, but considering how dominant the Lightning were in Game 1 (a lopsided 5-1 win on the scoresheet and the ice), the Canadiens couldn’t afford to head back to Montreal down 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Final. But while they played their game and dictated the style, as Brendan Gallagher stressed they needed to do before puck drop, they still could not skate away with the win....

Jacobs’ promoter, Eddie Hearn of Matchroom Boxing, received a proposal from Alvarez’s promoter, Golden Boy Promotions, for an HBO pay-per-view main-event bout Sept. 15 in Las Vegas. Hearn is eager to make the fight happen. “I can tell you that we love the fight,” Hearn told ESPN.com from England. “It’s a fight that when I signed Daniel Jacobs he told me he believes he beats Canelo every day of the week....

Canelo has been actively pursuing all of the titles at 168 pounds. He started off by picking up the vacant WBC title and WBA (Super) championship when he defeated Callum Smith in December and is aiming to add the WBO title from Saunders before completing the task in a potential undisputed championship showdown with IBF titleholder Caleb Plant later this year. But he’s going to have to defeat an opponent who has yet to lose a fight in the slick boxing Brit....

Canelo, the undisputed super-middleweight champion from Mexico, took exception to the fact that Lionel Messi, the captain of the Argentine National Team, disrespected Mexico. Following a 2-0 Mexico loss again Argentina at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where Messi scored the opening goal, a video has been revealed of Messi kicking and cleaning the floor of the Argentina locker room with a shirt of a player from El Tri....

The talk surrounding the dream bout appeared to fizzle in mid-June when Floyd Mayweather announced he would fight UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor on Aug. 26. — just three weeks before Canelo-Golovkin. Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) was confident the focus wouldn’t shift away from his bout against Golovkin. People have waited almost two years to see what many expect to not only be the best of the year, but one that will go down in the history books....

Alvarez and Golovkin battled to a controversial draw last September in what was one of the best fights in 2017. Judge Adelaide Byrd scored the fight 118-110 for Alvarez when the judge Dave Moretti had it scored 115-113 for Golovkin and Don Trella scored it a draw 114-114. The rematch had been agreed upon for May 5. In February, Alvarez failed two drug tests for the performance-enhancing drug, Clenbuterol. Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs) received a six-month suspension from the Nevada State Athletic Commission....

According to a review published in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine in 2008, the earliest account goes back to 83 AD with a story in the Talmud of a 17-year-old scholar who was said to have worked so hard his hair turned white. One of the most oft-repeated tales comes from 18th-century France. Marie Antoinette was just 37 when she was sentenced to death in 1791. As legend has it, the night before she was to be executed by guillotine, her hair turned white....

George Stephanopoulos: Columbia. Mike MeCurry: Princeton. Prime rib. The GOP herd feeds at the mahogany-paneled Capitol Grille, where a 22-ounce Angus is a light lunch and a 12-inch Macanudo is dessert. Vienna. Republicans flock south to Virginia, where you can board your championship mare down the road and the Ollie North show is talk-radio king,...

Learn the rules. Roth retirement IRAs offer tax-free earnings. While contributions can’t be deducted, earnings are tax-exempt if used during retirement. With years to compound, Roth contributions can generate big savings. But high earners (singles earning at least $114,000; couples, at least $166,000) can’t contribute to Roths, and they’re usually ineligible as well to contribute to tax-deductible IRAs. High earners can contribute after-tax money to nondeductible IRAs, where earnings are taxed at withdrawal....
