American John Hahn produced the round of his life to shoot an incredible 58 in the fourth round of the European Tour's qualifying school in Spain.

However, the 25-year-old will not be able to claim an official record as preferred lies were in place on the par-70 Tour Course at the PGA Catalunya Resort in Girona.

Hahn recorded 12 birdies, which was perfectly timed as he leapt from six shots outside the cut mark to inside the top 15 with two days remaining.

The head of Russia's race walking centre has been banned for four years following an investigation into claims of systematic doping.

Russia is the dominant power in race walking and has won six Olympic medals at the last two games.

However, its reputation has been tarnished by at least 17 doping bans for athletes from the national elite race walking center in Saransk and centre director Viktor Kolesnikov was suspended in August during a Russian Anti-Doping Agency investigation.

Here's a quick recap of all the key details in the ongoing Fifa saga surrounding the bidding process to host the 2018 and 2022 World Cups:

• In the Fifa report, which was published last week, the English Football Association was accused of flouting bidding rules in its attempt to stage the 2018 World Cup - but 2022 hosts Qatar were cleared of corruption allegations.

• However, the document was criticised by Michael Garcia, the man who investigated claims of wrongdoing.

• Fifa's report into World Cup corruption has also come under fresh fire - from two whistleblowers who gave evidence.

Fifa president Sepp Blatter says lodging a criminal complaint over "possible misconduct" in the 2018 and 2022 World Cup bidding process proves the world governing body is committed to transparency.

"If we had anything to hide, we would hardly be taking this matter to the Office of the Attorney General," says Blatter.

"Fifa's internal bodies have done all they can within the scope of their capabilities, and they are continuing with their work. The matter will now also be looked at by an independent, state body, which shows that Fifa is not opposed to transparency."

Fifa says it has lodged a criminal complaint with the Office of the Attorney General of Switzerland in Berne.

"Unlike Fifa's bodies, the Swiss criminal prosecution authorities have the ability to conduct investigations under application of criminal procedural coercive measures," adds the world governing body's statement.

Fifa statement: "There seem to be grounds for suspicion that, in isolated cases, international transfers of assets with connections to Switzerland took place, which merit examination by the criminal prosecution authorities."

World governing body Fifa says it has lodged a criminal complaint over the "possible misconduct of individual persons" during the bidding process for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups.

Uefa has opened disciplinary cases against both the Italian and Croatian football federations following disturbances and racist chanting during the Euro 2016 qualifier in Milan at the weekend.

Croatia has been charged with racist behaviour - a repeat of when the teams met at Euro 2012 in Poland - and crowd disturbances after lit fireworks were thrown onto the pitch in Milan.

The Italian federation has also been charged after fireworks were set off in the ground.

Uefa's disciplinary panel will deal with the cases on 11 December.

BBC Sport reporter Nick Hope outside Old Trafford: "Just bumped into the self-proclaimed 'three Johns' selling Messi/Ronaldo scarves ahead of tonight's friendly international between Argentina and Portugal.

"Sales are going great," says one who's been here since 10am.

"Everyone wants a Messi or Ronaldo souvenir which is good for us because we're cleaning more than we would for a United home game - where most fans already have all the gear."

Chief executive Sam Rush has insisted he wants to stay at Derby County and see through the dream of winning promotion to the Premier League.

Rush joined the club, who sit top of the Championship, in January 2013 and played a key part in the appointment of former England boss Steve McClaren.

He told BBC Radio Derby: "We are just starting out. We had to do quite a lot of difficult and unglamorous stuff and, as a result of that, we are in a good place now."

Ah, remember the good ol' days when footballers would embarrass themselves in all sorts of PR-boosting photographs? Here's a classic example with a topical Anglo-Scottish twist.

These seven Scottish Leeds United players (anyone care to name them?) donned their tammy hats and tartan scarves before their nation faced the Auld Enemy in the 1970s.

Newcastle United manager Alan Pardew has paid tribute to the younger players in his squad for their part in the Magpies' recent revival.

Four successive Premier League victories and a Capital One Cup win at Manchester City, achieved with help from players such as 21-year-old striker Ayoze Perez, significantly eased pressure on the Newcastle boss.

"Did I expect certain personnel to be around it and to have done so well? No," Pardew told BBC Newcastle. "I didn't think he (Perez) would have the impact he's had.

"Sammy Ameobi I've always hoped for. Paul Dummett? No. Jack Colback playing every minute of every game? No. Mehdi Abeid? No. These guys have come through and that's what we really want."

The boss elsewhere in the office? Good, here's a chance to stop doing some work for a moment.

Have a gander at three of the top videos on the BBC Sport website today:

Penalty capers: South Korean K-League champions Jeonbuk Motors secure a 1-0 win over Pohang Steelers thanks to an unconventional penalty routine. Instead of shooting, penalty taker Leonardo passes the ball to team-mate Kaio who rolls the ball into the net to seal the win.

The Auld Enemy: From Jimmy Greaves's hat-trick in 1961 to Scottish fans destroying the Wembley pitch in 1977, here is a look at some of the most memorable clashes between Scotland and England.

Strauss weighs in: Former captain Andrew Strauss says England have been too "fearful" of getting out during one-day internationals and must resolve this before the World Cup in 2015.

Charlton have voiced their opposition to the changes to Financial Fair Play regulations which were recently agreed by Championship clubs.

The Addicks were one of six clubs to vote against the alterations, which will allow losses to go beyond a £15m cap but not exceed £39m over three seasons (averaging £13m a season).

"We are looking to a break-even model. We want to reduce losses and certainly don't want to be increasing them," Charlton chief financial officer David Joyes told BBC London 94.9.

"For us as a company, and the owner, we see that as a sensible way of running a business. Clearly a number of clubs disagree with that and want the ability to invest well over and above the current level of losses. It is a significant increase."

Gordon Strachan is certainly flavour of the month in Scotland at the moment.

Buoyed by the win over the Republic of Ireland, and ahead of tonight's eagerly-awaited clash with England, former Celtic players Gary Caldwell and Neil Lennon are the latest to have spoken about their admiration for the Scotland boss.

"Having worked with him at Celtic, I knew how good he was," said Caldwell. "It took him time to get going but now the Scotland players are playing well."

Lennon said: "I've watched Gordon's team evolve over the last couple of years and they're very slick. There's more confidence with the Scotland fans now than there's been for the past 20 years."

Football: Former England manager Sven-Goran Eriksson, 66, has been unveiled as the new coach of Shanghai East Asia in the Chinese Super League on a rumoured £3.8m-a-year contract, one of the biggest in world football.

Football: Manchester United announce a 9.9 per cent fall in revenue, which makes aany signings in the January transfer window unlikely.

And finally...

Baseball: Former Major League Baseball star Jose Canseco is planning to sell his middle finger on eBay, weeks after he accidentally shot it off while cleaning his handgun.

Joined us a little late? Here's what you've missed so far today:

Athletics: Doha is chosen ahead of Barcelona and Eugene as host city for the 2019 IAAF World Athletics Championships.

Football: Scotland's Scott Brown spices things up before tonight's big game at Celtic Park, saying the English players have a sense of superiority and labelling Roy Hodgson's team 'our arch enemy'.

Tennis: 14-time Grand Slam champion Rafael Nadal will return to playing at the start of next year after recovering from surgery to have his appendix removed.

Glasgow Warriors have signed Fraser Lyle until the end of the season.

The 26-year-old Scot, who has played for Stirling County, Aberdeen Grammar and for clubs in Canada, has been training with Warriors and impressed in a recent 'A' fixture against Edinburgh.

"I want to learn from all the players and coaches at the club and make the most of this move," said Lyle.

Warriors boss Gregor Townsend said: "We've been watching Fraser, he's been in great form for Stirling County."
