Day 423

• In another example of that I'm not sure when these "Numbered Posts" are going to end:  Leave it to combat sports to try the luck against the coronavirus.  Dallas, TX just broke a record for the largest ever boxing crowd for an indoor venue in the United States, as over 73,000 people say Canelo Alvarez continue his unbeatable streak in unifying most of the super-middleweight belts.
• It now appears the UEFA Champions League final will take place fanless in Turkey -- if it takes place at all!  The only stadium UEFA is willing to consider (and this is with removal of restrictions the Brits might not agree with) for the Final is Wembley.
• The Mirror in England has actually slammed this all-England final between two of the Super Six as the first "European Super League Final".
• And we may now have the SECOND Kentucky Derby winner DQ'ed.   Medina Spirit has failed the post-race drug test, popping for betamethasone, which was also found in another Bob Baffert horse which finished third in last year's Kentucky Oaks.
• Later in the morning, Churchill Downs has banned Baffert and has provisionally disqualified Medina Spirit in favor of second-place finisher Mandaloun -- Medina Spirit would be second horse disqualified from winning the Derby for medications, and the third overall (two in the last three years).
• Baffert appears to be drugging his horses well outside the rules -- in the last 12 months, five Baffert horses have failed state drug tests.  Baffert won an appeal off a 15-day drug suspension last year in Arkansas.
• Medina Spirit was the seventh Baffert horse to win the Derby, including American Pharoah, who won the Triple Crown.
• And, as I pointed out, 2018 Triple Crown winner Justify was also illegally drugged.
• Sounds like the situation with New Japan Pro Wrestling is far more serious than just the lockdowns.  A total of nine NJPW wrestlers have tested positive for the coronavirus.  They will shut down for at least the remainder of the month -- and given the current state of matters in Japan...
• Kenoh from NOAH has also been hospitalized with the coronavirus.
