Bad-boy pharma CEO Shkreli calls fraud charges ‘baseless’
Ironically, Shkreli who has been in the news mainly due to his price gouging tactics, did not get arrested due to pricing issues. Shkreli seemed calm and cheerful as he ignored or banned negative commenters and chatted with supporters.
“Everything is happy-go-lucky with Tyson Fury”.
Panthers Still Perfect After Imperfect Win over Giants
The Panthers figure to have their way at Atlanta, assuming head coach Ron Rivera wants to keep the pedal to the metal. Eli found a revitalized Odell Beckham Jr , who seemed to find his rhythm and cool off, for a 40 yard catch and run.
Manchester boxer Tyson Fury recently beat Wladimir Klitschko to become the heavyweight champion, but that is far from the only reason he has been in the news.
Speaking outside the SSE Arena on Sunday evening O’Doherty, from the Rainbow Project gay rights group in Northern Ireland, said: “If Tyson Fury had made overtly racist remarks the BBC would have quite rightly dropped him from the show tonight”.
Over 130,000 people have signed a petition calling for the BBC to remove the controversial fighter from its shortlist, but the broadcaster did not bow to pressure.
Eight-year-old Bailey Matthews, who has cerebral palsy, was the recipient of the Helen Rollason Award after completing a junior triathlon in June, while Damian Lindsay won the BBC Sport Unsung Hero award for his football and community work in Belfast. The BBC defended his inclusion, saying that as heavyweight boxing champion he could hardly be kept out of the contest. Everything’s happy go-lucky with Tyson Fury. I think those remarks should be withdrawn.
“It was an incredibly competitive shortlist and I’m honoured to have been recognised alongside these great sportsmen and women from around the world”.
When interviewed, Fury initially refused to discuss the fallout to his comments, querying the meaning of the question.
Fellow nominee and Olympic long jump champion Greg Rutherford said: “He is not the sort of somebody I would spend any time with socially”.
“This whole idea that we just shut people up, that’s not the way forward”.
“”I think there’s good in everybody.””. I’d rather have the debate about why what he says, in my eyes, is wrong than tell him to shut up and go away.
This is the first time the event has been staged in Northern Ireland.
