Omg! Olympic Athlete Collapses After Pooing on Himself During 50km Walk Race (Photos)

It was an unfortunate thing for a French athlete who was leading the 50km walk race as he collapsed after defecating on himself.

French Athlete, Yohann Diniz
A top French athlete collapsed during the 50km walk after suffering from stomach trouble. The athlete who pooed on himself later got back to his feet and finished the race.
Dailymail reports that Yohann Diniz, the world record holder in the event, was leading the field in the 45th minute when a camera picked up on him beginning to struggle.

A dark liquid starting trickling down the back of Diniz’s legs after he apparently defecated during the race.
An hour or so later he collapsed to the floor, lying there motionless for a few seconds before dragging himself to his feet and soldiering on.
It had been reported by French publication L’Équipe that race favourite Diniz had been suffering from a bad stomach in the lead up to the event.
Shortly afterwards, and with more than a minute’s lead, the athlete collapsed by the roadside, allowing others to pass.

In a moment of solidarity, the man going in to the lead, Canada’s Evan Dunfee, picked up the fallen athlete back to his feet as they continued with the race.
Despite the Frenchman’s best efforts, he finished outside the medal positions, eventually finishing in eighth place. Diniz has never made it to the podium of a world championships or Olympic Games in 20km, his best performance being a silver medal over 50km at the 2007 world championships.

He had to withdraw from the starting line at Beijing 2008 after feeling pain in both his leg and his stomach.

Sunderland 1 Middlesbrough 2: Stuani at the double as Moyes´ injury woes increase

Cristhian Stuani scored two brilliant goals as Middlesbrough earned a 2-1 win over Sunderland in the Wear-Tees derby at the Stadium of Light, with David Moyes' injury problems continuing to pile up.

After his 25-yard stunner flew past Sunderland goalkeeper Vito Mannone in the 13th minute, Stuani rounded off a neat team move before the interval to inflict defeat upon Moyes in his first home match in charge.

Moyes' concerns will be even greater after the loss of John O'Shea to injury in the first half, his exit further stretching a squad already depleted by the enforced absences of Sebastian Larsson, Jan Kirchhoff, Lee Cattermole, Billy Jones and Lamine Kone.

And following the departure of Younes Kaboul to Watford and a back injury to Kone, the Sunderland boss deployed a new centre-back partnership of Papy Djilobodji - the Chelsea loanee making his debut - and O'Shea, while Paddy McNair operated in midfield.

While the hosts found it difficult at both ends, Middlesbrough, and in particular Stuani, were clinical with the chances that came their way.

Sunderland stepped up a gear in the second half and finally got the better of Boro keeper Brad Guzan - in for Victor Valdes who missed out with a hamstring injury - when his spill was poked home by Patrick van Aanholt.

However, despite being visibly rattled by the strike, Boro managed to hang on for the three points and their first win since returning to the top flight.

Aitor Karanka replaced Albert Adomah with Stuani in one of three changes from the 1-1 draw with Stoke City last weekend, and it quickly paid dividends.

Stuani was not closed down by Van Aanholt and used the opportunity to rifle a sensational 25-yard strike into the top-left corner.

It was a blow for Sunderland having been in control until that point, and although they regained their grip on the game the hosts found it difficult to break down the Boro defence.

Moyes had to replace the injured O'Shea with debutant Steven Pienaar in the 37th minute, Jack Rodwell subsequently dropping into the centre of defence.

And Boro added to Sunderland's woes on the stroke of half-time, Adam Forshaw sliding an excellent pass into the box for Alvaro Negredo who showed great composure to cut inside and square for Stuani to round off an excellent move with his second.

Sunderland were booed off at half-time but started to the get the fans back onside and Van Aanholt's low shot from the left-hand side of the box was parried behind by Guzan after 60 minutes.

The pressure continued to build and, after Jeremain Lens and Jermain Defoe had efforts blocked, it paid off in the 71st minute when Van Aanholt pounced after Guzan spilled Duncan Watmore's 20-yard shot.

Adnan Januzaj came close to marking his first Sunderland start with a goal, but the hosts - for whom late substitute Joel Asoro became their youngest Premier League player - were unable to find an equaliser before the final whistle.

Court dismisses Faleke's appeal against Kogi state gov, Yahaya Bello

An appeal filed by James Faleke, ex-running mate of former APC governorship candidate in Kogi state, Abubakar Audu, James Faleke, to nullify the installation of Yahaya Bello as the APC candidate in the state's governorship election has been dismissed by the Appeal court sitting in Abuja.

After the sudden demise of Audu on November 22nd last year, Yahaya was replaced as the APC candidate for the state governorship election.

Faleke had approached the court to argue that the votes polled by the party in the election were his, since he was the running mate of the deceased, Abubakar Audu. Ruling on his appeal today, Justice Jummai Sankey noted that according to Section 221 of the Nigerian constitution, only the party, not an individual, could canvass for votes. Justice Sankey in her ruling, stated that the Nigerian constitution does not recognise independent candidature and so Faleke cannot lay claim to the number of votes polled before the demise of Audu and after the election was concluded.

Justice Sankey added that Faleke was only paired with Audu after the primaries had been concluded but Bello participated in the primary election that produced Audu as the party's flagbearer.

Alleged budget padding: Dogara, others to appear before police investigative panel on Friday August 5th

The Nigeria Police Force have invited Speaker of the House of Representatives Yakubu Dogara, his deputy Yusuff Lasun, Chief Whip Alhassan Ado Doguwa and Minority Leader Leo Ogor to appear before a Special investigative panel set up by the acting Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris, to probe the allegations of padding the 2016 budget leveled against them by sacked chairman of the House committee on Appropriation, Abdulmumin Jibrin.

They are to appear before the panel on Friday August 5th. The invitation comes following a petition submitted to the police against the Speaker and the three other principal officers by Jibrin.

The 5-man investigative panel is to be led by Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) Amodu Ali. A police source who spoke to the Nation said

"We have commenced full investigation into the N284billion budget padding in the House of Representatives based on a petition from Hon. Jibrin. A Special Investigative Panel (SIP), with a crack detective, AIG Amodu Ali as the chairman, is the one saddled with the responsibility of looking into the allegations in the petition. The same Ali uncovered the lid on the $620,000 bribery scam in the House for which a former Chairman of the House Committee on Fuel Subsidy Management, Mallam Farouk Lawan, and the Clerk of the committee, Mr. Boniface Emenalo were indicted. The case is in court. You will recall that Ali was deeply involved in the investigation of the $180million Halliburton scam. So, the SIP is led by an officer who is tested. As I am talking to you (4pm yesterday), a letter of invitation has been addressed and sent to the Speaker, the Deputy Speaker, the Chief Whip and the Minority Leader. They will be interrogated by the SIP on Friday.

 As a prelude to the invitation of the principal officers, the SIP chairman and members had a session with Jibrin on Tuesday. It was not a grilling session. But Jibrin furnished the team with vital information and a heap of documents to back up the petition he submitted on Monday. We are going into the merit or otherwise of the petition on Friday by inviting Dogara and three others. It is going to be a gradual thing but we will crack the padding controversy.”

Meanwhile security has been beefed up around Jibrin by the Department of State Security DSS
