A little more on Great Britain gymnast Brinn Bevan, who suffered a double leg break in a vault accident in Saturday.

Bevan, who won team silver at the World Championships in Glasgow last month, said: "The pain was excruciating as it was I could handle.

"But the disappointment and heartbreak of going from such a high of the world championships to the lowest low after a little mishap was hard for me.

"All my emotions just erupted and I've found myself constantly in tears."

Bevan's left leg landed off the mat in to a concrete floor, causing breaks to his fibia and tibia.

Indian captain Virat Kohli has welcomed the introduction of day-night Test cricket, saying he hoped the experiment would work and make the traditional five-day game more popular.

"It is a landmark Test," Kohli said as Australia and New Zealand prepare to play the inaugural day-night Test at the Adelaide Oval on Friday.

"It is a big step towards changing something in Test cricket," the Indian skipper added.

"I hope it works. I hope it can be another option as well."

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino says he can "only smile" about a schedule that see his side return from a 12-hour round trip to play Qarabag in Europe just two days before they face Chelsea in the Premier League.

Spurs must board a six-hour flight to Baku in Azerbaijan for Thursday night's Europa League game - then face Chelsea on Sunday.

"It is like the week when we played Monday (against Aston Villa), Thursday (against Anderlecht) and Sunday (against Arsenal), three times in six days. And now it's the same," he said.

"I laugh. I only smile."

We think that's sarcasm.

So Real Madrid's big press conference - held on Monday night - turned into .. well, a bit of a damp squib really.

Real Madrid boss Rafael Benitez has been told he retains the club's full backing following the 4-0 home defeat by Barcelona.

Following a board meeting, club president Florentino Perez said: "He has all our support and confidence. Rafa has only just started his job here. Let him keep working and he will achieve his objectives."

However, and slightly ominously, Perez added he could "only talk about this moment".

Strange to think they'll be knocking seven bells out of each other come Saturday evening.

Fury also suggested a radical idea - legalising drugs to make the sport "fully fair" although also acknowledge taking such drugs can have a long-term impact on a person's health.

In response to Fury's claims, British Boxing Board of Control general secretary Robert Smith said the governing body was doing more in and out of competition tests than ever before.

"We’re dealing with human beings and the vast majority of people stick by rules, they don’t think it’s sensible to take drugs but the odd minority think they need to to compete at the highest level," Smith told BBC Radio 5 Live.

"I think legalising it is wrong – we want a level playing field with everybody not taking drugs and I think every sport in the country would agree with that."

British heavyweight Tyson Fury - four days before his world title against Wladimir Klitschko in Germany - has got the boxing world in a tizz by claiming the sport has a "big problem" with doping.

"Boxing has got a big problem with drugs. But it doesn't bother me because at the end of the day it's about determination over drugs."
