Nine PFL fighters suspended by Nevada State Athletic Commission​

Nine PFL fighters have been suspended by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, forcing the promotion to make major changes to its ongoing season. Seven PFL fighters, including former UFC title challenger Thiago Santos and former PFL heavyweight champion Bruno Cappelozza, appeared Thursday on the agenda for the next NSAC meeting. They will have their temporary suspensions extended Wednesday at the meeting in Las Vegas, likely making them ineligible for the duration of the PFL regular season, which starts up again in June. In a statement released this week, PFL said it has a "zero-tolerance policy related to the usage of banned substances" and is in talks with USADA about starting an anti-doping program. USADA leads the UFC's anti-doping policy and program.

Nantes striker Mohamed fined for refusing to wear rainbow jersey​

Nantes striker Mostafa Mohamed has been fined by his club after refusing to play at the weekend in a protest against an anti-homophobia campaign in France's Ligue 1, the struggling side said on Monday. The club said Mohamed would be "punished financially" for "refusing to play against Toulouse for personal reasons at a time when FC Nantes are fighting to avoid relegation". Nantes added that the money would be donated to a charity that supports members of the LGBTQ community who are victims of discrimination. The numbers on shirts of all players in France's top two divisions, as well as armbands worn by captains and officials, were rainbow-coloured as the French league staged a campaign against homophobia. The rainbow-adorned shirts will be sold at auction with the proceeds going to three charities active in fighting LGBTQ discrimination. Egyptian international Mohamed refused to take part in his team's 0-0 draw at Toulouse to avoid being associated with the campaign, despite Nantes desperately needing points as they seek to climb out of the relegation zone.
