    So this is my 6yr old niece loving her RAF flying suit and her mother's flying helmet. Shows the importance of visible role models.

    "We should be shocked that we are shocked, because we should not be shocked at all at professional sportsmen cheating. That is possibly the least shocking thing to happen in 2018." Well said.

    On this thing: As soon as the stakes get high enough, cheating is a path of least resistance, UNLESS a team or organization actively and constantly rejects the culture that enables it. Look at Smith’s words: Big game + things not going well = cheat

    “The coaches weren’t involved. It was purely the players and the leadership group that came up with this.” Australia have admitted deliberately cheating against South Africa

    So the double header between Gloucester-Hartpury and Loughborough isn't happening as Loughborough can't/won't field a second team. It's yet another cancelled fixture. So much for the requirements of being in the - come on sort this shambles out!

    Love this critique of the seductiveness of the 'grit' and 'resilience' narrative: "It implies that those who didn’t recover as well, or as quickly, or go and run a sponsored marathon, just didn’t try hard enough, or don’t have the ‘right’ kind of character reserves"

    How adversity often leaves us vulnerable to resilience discourses? A personal account...

    Study on female rugby players raises concerns about long term negative effect on the brain. But that doesn't mean it can't be part of a good life.

    A regular season of rugby, even without concussions, results in changes to the brain.

    Govt bans school girls from playing +any that threatens a 's traditional "dignity". I'm shocked. Our ancient Polynesian ancestors were innovators ahead of their time. Not so today. If they were alive they'd say adapt to 21st century or perish!

    Well said. My biggest concern over elite sport is that athletes are treated as commodities with no autonomy of their own.

    Panel concludes against “chipping athletes like dogs” for anti-doping purposes. How is this even being considered ?! Athletes already have to sacrifice their privacy to comply with the current failing system.
