    Liverpool right-back Nathaniel Clyne has said his team "owe" Manchester United for their two Premier League defeats this season. 

    "I think we owe them from the Premier League games, which we probably should have got more out of," said Clyne, external before Thursday's Europa League tie against United. 

    “But we have time now to put things right and make sure we progress through the cup.

    Which sports stars should never be booed? Why?

    Sharon Squires:, external No sports star should be booed (unless they are caught cheating). They go out and give it their all for their country or their club and should always be respected whatever sport they play.

    Vijay Rahaman:, external Lots of sports stars have been booed...Ronaldo, Dhoni, Zidane, McEnroe etc...Two that I have NEVER heard being booed are Brian Lara & Michael Jordan.

    St. Wisdoms Wesley:, external Jose Mourihno can never be booed at Stamford Bridge, no matter what. Jose is too special to us at Chelsea. We love Mourinho like our mama.

  6. 13 medallists at European Games took meldoniumpublished at 14:46 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2016

    Up to 490 athletes may have been taking meldonium during the 2015 European Games in Baku, according to research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. 

    Meldonium was placed on the World Anti-Doping Agency's banned list for 2016 and a number of athletes have already tested positive for it, including tennis star Maria Sharapova. 

    The research was carried out on behalf of the European Olympic Committees and contributed to Wada's decision to ban the use of meldonium in competitive sport. 

    The findings were based on information volunteered by athletes and medical teams, as well as anti-doping tests given at the European Games last June. Thirteen medallists were found to have been taking meldonium and the drug was detected in athletes competing in 15 of the 21 sports.

    Meldonium was barely on the radar until five-time Grand Slam champion Maria Sharapova revealed she recorded a positive drugs test for the substance.  

    It appears a lot of athletes take meldonium, but what exactly is it, where does it come from, will we be hearing a lot more about it now and how easy is it to get hold of?

    BBC Sport's Chris Osbourne has looked in depth at what the drug is. To read more, click here.

    We have recently brought you the news that the Premier League will cap away ticket prices at £30 for the next three years.

    He said: This is a welcome step in the right direction, but it is still £10 above the level that fans have called for.

    “The Football Supporters’ Federation must be congratulated on the effectiveness of their Twenty’s Plenty campaign.”

    Premier League to cap cost of tickets for away fans at £30published at 13:26 Greenwich Mean Time 9 March 2016

    Football

    Here's more on the Premier League's decision to cap away tickets at £30 for the next three seasons.

    In a statement, the Premier League said away fans were "essential for match atmosphere" and helped make the league unique.

    It also recognised that away fans often had travel costs to pay on top of the price of a matchday ticket. The Football Supporters' Federation has long campaigned for cheaper tickets and wanted prices for away fans capped at £20.
