The British Horseracing Authority will make strong representations in favour of exempting racing coverage from any possible restrictions on television advertising for bookmakers. Tony Bradley Jersey . A report in The Times this morning suggests that the Government could prohibit gaming firms from advertising on daytime television due to concerns about the influence such commercials have on young people and their likelihood of developing a serious gambling problem in the future.A review into fixed-odds betting terminals is reportedly set to be extended to include gambling advertisements, which are currently permitted before the 9pm watershed provided it is for bingo or during breaks in live sporting events. Officials at the BHA are eager to the see the full details of the planned review, which have not yet been confirmed, but they would mount a strong defence of racings need to be exempted from any ban.BHA media manager Robin Mounsey said: The Government hasnt yet launched its review so we first need to await details of the consultation and any proposals arising.However, it is likely that as part of any consultation that racing would be united in making strong representations for an exemption for horseracing content.These representations would be based around racings obvious interdependence with betting compared to other sports, and the nature of its TV coverage.A review of gambling advertising concluded last year with a result that the industry toughened up its code concerning the subject, while the Department of Culture, Media and Sport also indicated the role of social media would come under scrutiny in the future.Given the recent nature of that review, Ladbrokes director of media David Williams admits another assessment so soon after the last would be a surprise.Williams, in a view echoed by the Remote Gambling Association, an online gambling trade association of which Ladbrokes is a member, said: A thorough review of gambling advertising was undertaken at the request of the Secretary of State at DCMS and was concluded last year.As such it would be unexpected and unusual to commission another widespread review and expect a different outcome.We would, nonetheless, cooperate fully with any review if and when the government confirms its intentions.

As TSN reported Thursday, the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport is under intense pressure from the federal government to focus drug testing on athletes who compete in international events representing Canada. Since funding for the tests has been frozen and the cost of testing can eclipse $1,000 per test, university athletes in a number of sports are being tested less often. http://www.officialjazzauthenticstore.com/kids-pete-maravich-jazz-jersey/ . So much so that even a simple foul pop up to the first baseman turned into a run. Houstons four-run rally in the ninth inning to beat the Seattle Mariners 6-4 on Monday night was capped by a bizarre play that started as Crowe fouled out to first baseman Justin Smoak with runners on second and third.MIAMI -- The NFL Players Association said it will insist on a fair investigation for all involved in the Miami Dolphins harassment case, including suspended guard Richie Incognito. The league is investigating the relationship Incognito had with teammate Jonathan Martin, who left the team last week because of emotional issues. Incognito was suspended indefinitely by coach Joe Philbin for his treatment of Martin. "As the representative organization of all players, the NFLPA will insist on a fair investigation for all involved," the union said in a statement Tuesday that included no condemnation of Incognitos conduct. Instead, the union said accountability rested with the Dolphins. "We expect that the NFL and its clubs create a safe and professional workplace for all players, and that owners, executives, coaches and players should set the best standards and examples," the union said. "It is the duty of this union to hold the clubs ... accountable for safety and professionalism in the workplace. ... We will continue to remain in contact with the impacted players, their representatives and player leadership." Incognito, speaking publicly for the first time since his suspension Sunday, was interviewed briefly by a reporter for WSVN-TV. "Im just trying to weather the storm right now," Incognito said before getting into his car. "This will pass." Dolphins officials didnt respond to requests for comment. The team practiced Tuesday for its game Monday night at Tampa Bay, but had no media availability. Incognitos harassment of Martin included text messages that were racist and threatening, two people familiar with the situation have said. The 6-foot-5, 312-pound Martin, a second-year pro, is biracial. Incognito, a guard in his ninth NFL season, is white. The case leaves the 30-year-old Incognitos career in doubt, and an associate professor at the University of Miami School of Law said he could face criminal charges. "This can be pursued as an extortion case," Tamara Lave said. "It could also be pursued as making some kind of threat against the other players life. ... This particular cultural moment is one in which people are very upset about bulllying and hazing. Donovan Mitchell Jersey. . ... I think that prosecutors may think its important for them to do something. And the fact that you have a 300-pound man who feels so threatened and uncomfortable that he leaves, thats an indication of how serious it was." No criminal investigation has been disclosed. Meanwhile, the NFL must decide whether the Dolphins failed to enforce the guidelines for workplace conduct included in the leagues player policy manual. "All NFL players and prospective players have the right to work in a positive environment that is free from any and all forms of harassment, intimidation and discrimination," the manual says. Every player receives a copy during training camp. Coach Joe Philbin said he was unaware of any harassment between the players until after Martin left the team. The Stanford graduate is with his family in Los Angeles for counselling, and its unclear whether hell rejoin the team this season. Also unclear is how other players would receive Martin after he complained about a teammate and abruptly left while Miami was mired in a four-game losing streak. The Dolphins shored up their depleted offensive line by signing David Arkin off the Dallas Cowboys practice squad. "I hope that Martin doesnt have any backlash from this from the rest of his teammates," said Arizona linebacker Karlos Dansby, who played for the Dolphins from 2010-12. Dansby said he was puzzled that Martins teammates didnt put a halt to any harassment. "Were like family. So why would we do something to hurt our family? I dont understand it. Definitely you have to step in and say something. Unfortunately the guys didnt step in down there. You got to have leaders step and up and control that kind of situation." Around the league, a handful of players had harsh words for Incognito, long considered one of the dirtiest players in the NFL. Some players defended the tradition of hazing, while others said it needs to change. Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll supported the latter view. "We dont allow hazing here," Carroll said. "In the past, yeah, Ive seen it. Its just an old-school way of thinking and a way of operating. We know better now."
