The past week has seen significant developments in various sports, with Nico de Boinville being cleared of making racist comments towards fellow jockey Declan Queally at the Cheltenham Festival. De Boinville, 36, had "categorically" denied the accusation, and the British Horseracing Authority found "no evidence to support the allegation." The two jockeys were seen exchanging words at the start line, but later shook hands and appeared to put the matter behind them.

In other news, Jonny Clayton is showing strong form in the Premier League Darts, aiming to make it a hat-trick of nightly wins in Dublin. The Welsh No 1 is eight points clear at the top of the table, with his clinical performance earning him the nickname "The Ferret."
