A number of TGP Holdings have been faced by a serious dispute regarding this year’s winning payments that took place during the Cheltenham event. Apparently, TLC Bet, Fun88, 12Bet and 138.com have all been involved in the current scandal.

This has eventually been handled over to the Isle of Man’s Gambling Supervision Commission (GSC) who will be responsible for the in depth investigation on the matter at hand. This includes the review of TGP operations in its subsidiaries that are faced by the ‘bonus abuse and fraudulent activity’.

It is only the MLB that has allowed players to use wearable whoops. However, NBA has since banned the use of the attire and this has proven costly to one NBA player.

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Mathew Dellavedova is one player who has been using the wearable Whoop in the previous 15 games. This reached the NBA which prompted not to give him a heavy penalty but he would be subjected to a ban of strapping them on. This follows the NBA’s strict rules that have been in existence in prohibiting its players in wearing tech.

Nonetheless, the new policy of the wearable tech has no any correlation to the unique data from the Jawbone or the Fitbit. Basically, thee Whoop is meant for outstanding athletes. More often than not, the tech is designed to perform actionable information in the present times which may be in relation to one’s stress condition or the heart rate. It also serves the purpose of protecting a player from injuries as well as the preparedness a player may be in after a travel schedule.

Wearables have become popular in the NBA as they help a player in training sessions. For instance, the Golden State Warriors have made use of Catapult Sports devices in trainings whereas the Miami Heat partnered with Vert makers in provision of these wearables crucial for monitoring key elements such as jump load and jump counts.

However, the debate on use of wearables both in games and training sessions will continue in the NBA. Many have claimed to avoid them arguing that they can reciprocate a negative effects that can be evidence at the court. For instance, body contact during a basketball game is common and a player in the process of trying to stop another from making a dunk may get it rough when caught unawares by the Whoop in sensitive body parts such as the eye.

There has been a controversy on the exact figures that the greyhound racing industry has claimed to have in the adoption programs. According to Veronica Lim, a representative with the Coalition for the Protection of Greyhounds, the number of greyhounds claimed to be 6100 that the Greyhound Adoption Program (GAP) has pronounced is in the last 20 years is far much smaller in comparison to the actual number of dogs that are bred for racing purposes.

However, according to Sherree Owen the founder of the Greyhound Rescue Victoria claimed that every dog that has to be out unmuzzled must undergo a ‘green collar’ test at GAP. This means that whoever wishes to adopt a dog in her firm must sign another adoption form from the GAP after the dogs have been tested. This would appear as if these adopted dogs were from the GAP.

Trainers who took the liberty of taking their dogs to GAP would come out frustrated after their dogs’ fail the test due to various injuries succumbed from racing. The GAP would ask the trainers if they would accept their dogs back. If they don’t, the GAP would transfer these dogs to other rescue groups for adoption.

Asked about the matter, Renn Barker who is the spokesman at Greyhound Racing Victoria claimed that the figures that were produced by the GRV were exclusively for the association without any additional figure from other dog agencies. These figures were deliberately left out as they were very small and couldn’t have made any great impact in the total sum. Nonetheless, those dogs that were adopted in the name of GAP after their trainers had signed the second GAP form had been included in the total figure.

He added that about 4% of the total greyhounds from the private collar assessment in 2014-15 underwent a second test at GAP which forms the basic requirement of the statutory rules under the Domestic Animals Act.

Since then, he has been self-motivated as he has recorded 260 rushing and 341 receiving yards in four touchdowns.
