(NEXSTAR) – A recall affecting nearly 1.6 million cartons of eggs has been ******* igned to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's most serious risk category.
The recall, which was initiated over concerns of potential salmonella enteritidis contamination, was categorized on Wednesday by the FDA as "Class I," indicating "a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death."
The new Class I designation was included in the agency's enforcement report for the existing recall.
Nearly 30,000 pounds of beef recalled under highest 'Class 1' risk level
The FDA has explained, however, that it often categorizes a recall well after the initiating firm makes the recall announcement, so it should not necessarily be viewed "as an expansion or change" to the firm's initial recall.

Curaleaf CEO and chairman Boris Jordan wants you to know he tried to do this the nice way. In an interview, he defended his hostile $4 per share bid for Aurora Cannabis, said the rejection wasn't based on "legit reasons," and explained why he wants the only EU-GMP certified indoor cultivation in Canada.
The paper trail backs his timeline. Whether it backs "friendly" is another question.
Jordan said he first spoke with Aurora CEO Miguel Martin at the end of June. Martin wasn't opposed to talking, Jordan said, but told him he would weigh any deal against his fiduciary responsibility. On June 23, Curaleaf sent a formal indication of interest, offering a mutual non-disclosure agreement and 30 days of exclusive reciprocal due diligence. That letter, which Curaleaf later published on its website, confirms this part of Jordan's account. A follow-up call went nowhere, Jordan says.
"This isn't actionable enough," he recalled Martin saying. "I need to go to the board."

The Texas Rangers have recalled infielder Cody Freeman and purchased the contract of Marco Gonzales from AAA Round Rock. To make room on the active roster for the pair, the team has optioned infielder Cam Cauley and pitcher Ben Peoples to AAA Round Rock. To make room for Gonzales on the 40 man roster, the Rangers designated pitcher Luis Curvelo for ***** ignment.
After Jacob deGrom went just two innings yesterday, the Rangers need someone in the pen who can give them length. Peoples has options so he goes down, and Gonzales returns to the Rangers for his second stint with the club this season.
The motivation behind the decision to swap out Cody Freeman for Cam Cauley isn't quite as clear. Freeman was in the mix for an Opening Day roster spot, but has missed much of the year do to back and neck issues. The Rangers reportedly like the energy that Freeman brings, however, and with the lineup currently feeling very flat, it may be that he's viewed as being able to provide a shot in the arm.
Curvelo, meanwhile, will end up on the waiver wire, and I'm guessing he'll clear waivers. He has regressed from last year, with a 9.58 major league ERA and 8.42 AAA ERA, and has been both wild and homer ***** e.

Former Pakistan fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar believes he could have taken 400 Test wickets if he had played under Imran Khan's leadership earlier in his career.
Shoaib took 178 wickets in 46 Tests during his international career, which ended during the 2011 World Cup in India amid reported differences with then Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi. He also took 247 wickets in 163 ODIs and 21 wickets in 15 T20Is.
Speaking on a Geo TV show, Shoaib pointed to his first-class record, where he took more than 400 wickets, and said playing under Imran could have helped him develop further as a Test bowler.
"If I had played earlier under the fiery leadership of Imran Khan I would have learnt a lot and I would have taken 400 wickets in Test cricket," said the 51-year-old, as quoted by news agency PTI.
Shoaib made his Test debut against the West Indies in Rawalpindi, his hometown. At the time, Pakistan captain Wasim Akram had reservations about giving the young fast bowler his debut, believing it was not the right time.
The relationship between Akram and Shoaib remained complicated during their careers, with both having moments of admiration and disagreements.
The two also formed part of Pakistan's bowling attack during some notable performances, including the 1999 tour of India and the 1999 World Cup in England. Pakistan finished runners-up to Australia in the final at Lord's.
Shoaib also spoke about the physical toll of his career, which lasted from 1997 to 2011.
He recalled the routine he followed to stay fit and recover from injuries, including problems with his knees.
"I had to wake up three hours before everyone else. I had to cycle first, then go to the gym. My knees would get jammed and lock up.
"I would have fluid drained from them, apply medication, and ice them," said the 51-year-old.

CHICAGO (AP) — About 213,500 "Goody King" magnetic building toys were recalled in the U.S. on Thursday, due to an ingestion hazard posed that has resulted in at least two children receiving surgeries.
According to a notice published by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, these toys' building cubes can break or open, allowing the magnets inside to become loose. That poses a serious ingestion hazard for children.
When high-powered magnets are swallowed, they can attract each other or other metal and become lodged in the digestive system, the CPSC warns — which can potentially lead to "perforations, twisting, and/or blockage of the intestines, blood poisoning and death."
To date, Goody King seller Yi Suen Commerce is aware of two children who ingested magnets from these toys and needed surgery to remove them. The Hong Kong-based company is also aware of at least 27 reports of the cubes breaking or opening.
Consumers in possession of the now-recalled magnetic toys are urged to stop using them immediately and contact Yi Suen Commerce for a full refund. Affected model numbers and more information can be found both on the CPSC's notice and Goody King's recall website.

Each fall, Kirk Herbstreit is one of the busiest men in America. Herbstreit traverses the United States weekly, balancing out his broadcasting duties for ESPN and Amazon Prime Video.
In order to keep up the pace, Herbstreit has to be healthy. On Friday, the longtime College GameDay ******* yst revealed during an appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he spent six weeks in bed this offseason due to a serious back issue.
After McAfee complimented Herbstreit on his tan and fresh appearance, the 56-year-old broadcaster shared his health plight publicly for the first time.
"I couldn't walk. I couldn't leave my house for six weeks," Herbstreit said.
Herbstreit continued, recalling how he and his wife were in Las Vegas in June for Kenny Chesney's opening night at The Sphere. The next day, they went to breakfast, and when the former Ohio State quarterback stood up to leave, he was unable to move.

Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) has always been an intriguing investment opportunity, but it has consistently disappointed investors in several ways.
The electric vehicle (EV) maker designs and produces some of the most advanced EVs globally but has a growing number of recalls and supplier issues and has struggled to lower costs and build scale to improve vehicle unit economics and gross profitability.
Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »
Now, another speed **** p: The EV maker just announced that its upcoming Cosmos SUV is significantly delayed -- does this represent a red flag or a smart move?
Lucid originally planned to launch its midsize Cosmos SUV EV late this year, although it admitted that production volume would be low until production accelerates next year. To be fair, many investors and **** ysts were skeptical of this timeline, given that its Gravity SUV is still dealing with recalls, supply chain bottlenecks, and production shifts to align with consumer demand.

Lionel Messi has spoken publicly for the first time since his father Jorge's death, publishing a letter that sheds light on how much the 2026 World Cup campaign meant to him and how losing his father at age 68 will affect him going forward.
Messi's clubs announced the death of his father, who was suffering from an illness during the 2026 World Cup, on Saturday, Aug. 8.
After Argentina's 1-0 extra-time loss to Spain in the World Cup final, Messi flew to Rosario to see his father. The player's hope, he said in the letter, was for his father to recover and be able to travel for the final of the World Cup he had pushed his son to play in. Instead, his health had deteriorated to a point in which he was unable to recall details of the match.
"When I got there, you thought we'd lost the final on penalties. We couldn't talk at all about everything that happened. You couldn't enjoy anything," Leo Messi wrote. "We weren't champions, but you don't know how we enjoyed every game. Once again, you were right: I had to be there and play it."

Los Angeles Rams star wide receiver Puka Nacua didn't hesitate when asked who gives him the most trouble on defense. Nacua quickly touted San Francisco 49ers linebacker Fred Warner as the most difficult defender to face when he runs routes in the middle of the field.
Nacua explained why Warner is the one defender he genuinely dreads seeing across from him on Sundays during an episode of Impaulsive.
"He's the best," Nacua said. "Everybody's really obviously so good in the NFL. There's ***** ody that covers that much ***** e. It's scary. The middle of the field is terrible. We'll run routes and I won't catch the ball and he's standing right there and he's like, 'I knew exactly where you're going.'"
Nacua said Warner's range makes it feel like the All-Pro linebacker is teleporting across the field mid-play.
"Dude, I swear when I started the play, you're on the left sideline and now you're right here standing next to me," Nacua recalled telling Warner. "He's like, 'That's just what I do.'"

Prince Harry shared a touching moment with singer Sydnie Christmas after her performance at a Vancouver charity gala. The "Britain's Got Talent" winner said the Duke of Sussex approached her after she left the stage and gave her a warm hug. He also reportedly told her that he "felt every word" of her performance. For Christmas, the unexpected exchange became one of the most memorable moments of the evening.
Prince Harry was seated in the front row with Meghan Markle when Sydnie Christmas took the stage at David Foster's charity gala in Vancouver over the weekend. The singer, who won "Britain's Got Talent" in 2024, performed two emotional songs that appeared to leave an impression on the Duke.
Christmas sang Frank Sinatra's "My Way" before performing "Tomorrow" from "Annie." Both songs deal with perseverance and overcoming adversity, giving her set an emotional quality that apparently resonated with Harry.
There was also a lighter moment before the performance ended. Christmas joked about having met King Charles and told the audience, "Sorry he couldn't make it. He sent me instead." She later admitted that she tends to say "such silly things" when she gets nervous, but said Harry laughed at the remark.
The interaction took a more personal turn once she finished singing. According to Christmas, Harry came forward as she stepped off the stage and gave her a hug. "He just went in for the hug and I was like, 'Why not?'" Christmas told The Sun. She said the Duke then gave her a "big cuddle" before sharing his reaction to her performance. "He went, 'Sydnie, I felt every word. I really felt that in the back of my throat,'" she recalled.

Not everyone is willing to suffer for their art, but Jenna Ortega is — well, at least the younger version of herself went to great lengths on set.
The Emmy-nominated actress and former child star reflected on her early career in an interview with Esquire released Tuesday, Aug. 11.
Before her breakthrough role as the no-nonsense Wednesday Addams in Tim Burton's dark comedy "Wednesday," Ortega began her career as a child actor at age 9. After appearing in several high-profile TV series and films, including "CSI: NY," "Iron Man 3," "Days of Our Lives" and "Richie Rich," Ortega landed a lead role in the Disney Channel sitcom "Stuck in the Middle," which she starred on from 2016 to 2018.
During her conversation with Esquire, Ortega, now 23, was asked what "rookie mistake you made on your first set," which prompted her to recall her strict approach to work.
"I really had it going for me as a child 'cause I can't think of one mistake I made. Is that a terrible thing to say?" Ortega told the outlet. "I feel like I make mistakes now all the time, but as a child, I was so grateful and so excited to be there that my game face was on."

Jennifer Esposito has recalled the debilitating health issues she faced early in her career that left her "deeply depressed" because doctors couldn't figure out what was wrong with her.
The Blue Bloods star admitted her years-long health battle caused her to have "thoughts of suicide," which landed her in a psychiatric ward.
"I had a whole life beginning in the city, and I was a young actor, and I had to stop everything," the 53-year-old said on Maria Menounos' Heal Squad podcast.
"They brought me to a psychologist, like they had me on every medication," she recalled.
"They wanted to give me shock treatment at one point because I wasn't responding. I'm very sensitive to medication. It was a really bad time. And my mother had people pray over me."

Only one victor didn't impress DanaWhite and the Ultimate Fighting Championship matchmakers on Week 1 ofDana White's Contender Series 2026.
JosephKropschot (9-3) opened the action in a middleweight outingagainst JonathanKunneman (10-1). Kropschot dislocated Kunneman's elbow with anarmbar in the final seconds of the fight. He earned a unanimousdecision win after his opponent refused to tap. Kropschot's intentto finish was enough for White to give him a UFC contract.
"When he got that armbar, I said, 'I'm gonna give him a shot.' 31years old, he went for the finish. I'm always looking for guys tofinish," White said. "That fight should have been finished… Joseph,you went for it and you swayed me and changed my mind.Congratulations."
TomPagliarulo (11-2) was the second fighter to earn a contract onWeek 1. The featherweight prospect finished AnaniasMulumba (10-4) with vicious ground-and-pound in the finalseconds of the fight.
"Thomas, you were in a dog fight; turned it on in the third round,and finished a really tough kid," White said. "Congratulations,you're in."
Former Cage Fury Fighting Championships flyweight champion Bilal Hasan(9-0) was a -5000 favorite going into his matchup against MridulSaikia (9-2). Hassan absolutely justified the odds bydispatching Saikia in 45 seconds to earn his UFC contract. Whitecan't wait for Hasan's first UFC bout.
"This is an absolute no-brainer. Even with the ton of hype,absolutely lived up to it," the UFC CEO said. "When you're thebiggest favorite in the history of the Contender Series, 10 years.That's how you treat somebody, and you absolutely did. I'm excitedto see your future. I'm really pumped for your first fight in theUFC."
AbeAlsaghir (9-0) earned a split decision win in a lightweighttilt against FabrizioEscarrega (9-2). While both fighters went toe-to-toe, Whitebelieves neither fighter stood out to earn a contract. The UFC headhoncho also disagreed with the judges' scorecards on this one.
"I actually thought this was a dog fight between two tough guyswith great records," White recalled. "And the third round was whereI was looking to see who was going to be my guy, and it neverhappened. And I don't agree with the judges. I don't think you wonthat fight. I think the judges absolutely blew that decision. And Ijust didn't see anything that I was looking for."
AnthonyWint (7-0) earned the final contract of the night with afirst-round stoppage win over MatthewAdams (6-3). The heavyweight powerhouse took hardly over 30seconds to reverse a takedown and rain brutal ground-and-pound tosecure the stoppage.
"Anthony, you're a f*cking tank, my friend… Holy sh*t!" White said."I didn't get to see much, but what I got to see was pretty nasty.And I have a long history with your coach, who has nothing but goodthings to say about you. Welcome to the UFC."

JosephKropschot (9-3) opened the action in a middleweight outingagainst JonathanKunneman (10-1). Kropschot dislocated Kunneman's elbow with anarmbar in the final seconds of the fight. He earned a unanimousdecision win after his opponent refused to tap. Kropschot's intentto finish was enough for White to give him a UFC contract.
"When he got that armbar, I said, 'I'm gonna give him a shot.' 31years old, he went for the finish. I'm always looking for guys tofinish," White said. "That fight should have been finished… Joseph,you went for it and you swayed me and changed my mind.Congratulations."
TomPagliarulo (11-2) was the second fighter to earn a contract onWeek 1. The featherweight prospect finished AnaniasMulumba (10-4) with vicious ground-and-pound in the finalseconds of the fight.
"Thomas, you were in a dog fight; turned it on in the third round,and finished a really tough kid," White said. "Congratulations,you're in."
Former Cage Fury Fighting Championships flyweight champion Bilal Hasan(9-0) was a -5000 favorite going into his matchup against MridulSaikia (9-2). Hassan absolutely justified the odds bydispatching Saikia in 45 seconds to earn his UFC contract. Whitecan't wait for Hasan's first UFC bout.
"This is an absolute no-brainer. Even with the ton of hype,absolutely lived up to it," the UFC CEO said. "When you're thebiggest favorite in the history of the Contender Series, 10 years.That's how you treat somebody, and you absolutely did. I'm excitedto see your future. I'm really pumped for your first fight in theUFC."
AbeAlsaghir (9-0) earned a split decision win in a lightweighttilt against FabrizioEscarrega (9-2). While both fighters went toe-to-toe, Whitebelieves neither fighter stood out to earn a contract. The UFC headhoncho also disagreed with the judges' scorecards on this one.
"I actually thought this was a dog fight between two tough guyswith great records," White recalled. "And the third round was whereI was looking to see who was going to be my guy, and it neverhappened. And I don't agree with the judges. I don't think you wonthat fight. I think the judges absolutely blew that decision. And Ijust didn't see anything that I was looking for."

The PJM Interconnection set an all-time peak demand record on July 2 of this year, preliminarily estimated at more than 168,000 MW. That broke a mark that had stood since 2006. There were no rolling blackouts, and the commentary that followed carried a note of relief, even congratulation: the system held up. That is true. It is also dangerously incomplete.Consider the ledger of what holding up required:
Two federal emergency orders under Section 202(c) of the Federal Power Act, one waiving environmental limits so plants could run past permit restrictions and one authorizing forced curtailment of data centers onto backup generation.
A recall of generators from scheduled maintenance.
Activation of emergency demand response.
Operating reserves roughly halved in a single day to about 5,100 MW.

Earlier today, the Colorado Rockies recalled outfielder Zac Veen (No. 9 PuRP) from Triple-A Albuquerque while infielder Edouard Julien was designated for ******* ignment.
It's been a big week for the Rockies top prospect, who learned yesterday that he had won his second consecutive Pacific Coast League "Player of the Week" Award.
Even briefly spoke with media about being back with the big-league club.
"I feel really blessed," Veen said. "I feel really grateful for the opportunity, and I think how much I appreciate taking the field every day has been a big difference for me this year."
In 2025, Veen was with the Rockies for 12 games when he slashed .118/.189/.235.

Tracy Spiridakos recalls her "body flaws" being circled with Sharpie at a modeling agency meeting as a 17 year old.
"They said, 'You have to lose weight here, here, and here if you want to do this,'" she recounted.
The Chicago P.D. star described the meeting as a "gut punch," but says her "very protective" brother swooped in to defend her from the slight.
Before she played tough-as-nails detective Hailey Upton on Chicago P.D., Tracy Spiridakos learned the hard way how strong you need to be to survive a life in the spotlight.
Back when Spiridakos was 17, she won a modeling contest, which meant the Winnipeg, Canada native and one of her brothers packed up and took off for a meeting at a modeling agency. "I got there and they gave me a bikini and told me to put the bikini on and they were going to take some pictures," Spiridakos recalled on Monday's episode of the I've Never Said This Before podcast.

Dax Shepard recently opened up about an awkward childhood memory involving his mom and an outfit she occasionally wore in public. During a recent episode of Armchair Expert, he recalled his reaction to seeing his mother in a white tank top and the attention he feared it might attract. Shepard's story was part of a wider conversation about experiences growing up with single mothers.
Dax Shepard has recalled feeling uncomfortable when his mother wore a tank top during his childhood.
The actor discussed the experience while speaking with Taron Egerton on an episode of Armchair Expert, explaining that he became particularly uneasy when other men appeared to notice his mother in public. Shepard recalled accompanying his mother to places such as the grocery store when she occasionally wore a white tank top.
"My mom has big ***** ," the host said while describing the experience. He recalled, "My mom would occasionally wear a f***ing white tank top, and I just remember like, 'Oh f*** man. We're going to the grocery store. She's in the white tank top. There's gonna be like weird dudes that just start talking to her.'"
Shepard admitted that he strongly disliked those situations, saying, "I hated it." Egerton said he experienced similar emotions while growing up with his own mother. The Rocketman star described her as an "attractive woman" and said he remembered feeling angry and inadequate when he noticed other people paying attention to her.

Kyle Newman of the Denver Post is reporting that the Colorado Rockies have recalled outfielder Zac Veen (No. 9 PuRP) and will designate for ***** ignment infielder Edouard Julien.
This comes on the heels of the news from yesterday that Connor Norby was recalled after Tyler Freeman went to the IL with lumbar pain.
Veen, who has won the Pacific Coast League's "Player of the Week" honors for two consecutive weeks has been on an absolute tear. The 2020 first-round draft pick is currently slashing .327/.402/.635 and leads the Pacific Coast League in both slugging percentage and OPS (1.037) in 100 games with just under 400 at-bats.
As for Julien, in January, the Rockies acquired him and pitcher Pierson Ohl from the Minnesota Twins for cash considerations. The Rockies hoped Julien could bring versatility and a lefty bat to their lineup. However, he has struggled during his time in Colorado.
Currently, he is slashing .208/.322/.292 (65 wRC+). There have also been questions about his fielding where he has -7 DRS at second base.

Linda Gray still has some special items from her former onscreen husband, Larry Hagman.
While talking about her participation in an auction where she's giving away memorabilia from the hit soap opera Dallas, the actress, 85, admitted it was "bittersweet" to part with certain items in a People interview published on Tuesday, August 11. However, Gray noted, "Everything that Larry gave me, I'll keep forever."
"That's a non-issue. The things that he did give me are treasures, like the little notes he would send me," Gray remarked of Hagman, who played J. R. Ewing opposite her character Sue Ellen Ewing. "He had such a great sense of humor, and he would send me funny little notes, and those are keepers."

The two-time Golden Globe-nominated actress recalled Hagman — who passed away in 2012 at 81 years old — giving her one of his luxury watches as well.

Dylan Sprouse has revealed that one of the rare celebrity encounters that left him genuinely starstruck also changed his relationship with cigarettes. The actor recently looked back on an unexpected interaction with David Lynch, explaining why the brief encounter stayed with him long after the two went their separate ways.
During an Aug. 4 appearance on the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, Sprouse recalled having dinner at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles with Barbara Palvin and friends when he heard Lynch speaking at a nearby table.
Sprouse, a longtime Lynch fan, said he immediately recognized the filmmaker's voice. Palvin encouraged him to introduce himself, but Sprouse resisted because he did not want to interrupt Lynch while he was eating.
Instead, he stepped outside for a cigarette. A short time later, Lynch entered the smoking area and asked Sprouse for a cigarette and a light. Sprouse handed him both.
The Chateau Marmont encounter soon took an unexpected turn when Laura Dern joined Lynch. Sprouse recalled watching Lynch pull a fresh pack of cigarettes and a lighter from his own pocket for Dern, leaving him to wonder whether the director had actually needed to borrow anything from him.

Journalist Marc Jacobs posted on X that discussions between the parties "continue to advance," and if the deal is completed, it will be the former MVP's first club outside the US.
Is one of the biggest deals in European basketball history, and Israeli basketball in particular, drawing near?
About two weeks after reports of interest from Hapoel Tel Aviv were denied, reports in the US on Monday night indicated that contacts between the Reds and Russell Westbrook are continuing and even progressing.
Journalist Marc Jacobs posted on X (formerly Twitter) that discussions between the parties "continue to advance," and if the deal is completed, it will be the former MVP's first club outside the US. As recalled, according to The Athletic, the star is seriously considering a first career move outside the NBA.
The 37-year-old Westbrook is still a free agent after completing the previous NBA season. Over his career, he won the league's MVP award, was selected to nine All-Star games, and is considered one of the greatest point guards of his generation. He also holds the all-time NBA record for triple-doubles and was included in the league's 75th Anniversary Team.

Mark Ivey never set out to be Louisville's defensive play-caller.
Actually, he never set out to be a defensive coach at all. Former Appalachian State coach Jerry Moore told him he would be one. Moore was going to hire Ivey, then a high school football coach, as either the offensive line coach or defensive ******* istant. Although Ivey requested to coach the O-line, Moore told him he would join the defense.
"I'm like, OK, that sounds good," Ivey recalled.
Fast-forward to 2022, when Ivey opted to stay at Louisville and accepted Jeff Brohm's offer to coach linebackers, despite having the most experience as a defensive line coach. Four years later, Ivey's journey brought him back to coaching the defensive line at Louisville with an added responsibility of play-calling.
Ivey has always been aggressive in his approach to football and demanded the same from his position group. But coaching linebackers for the past three seasons broadened his perspective, which he needed to take on the expanded role.

NEW DELHI: Former India spinner Harbhajan Singh has opened up about an incident that led to his expulsion from the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru in 2000.
Harbhajan, who was among the first group of trainees at the NCA, recalled how he tore up a diet chart after repeatedly complaining that the food being served did not match the prescribed diet. He said the incident was later used as the reason for his removal.
Harbhajan said the NCA had a fixed diet plan for its trainees, but the food served did not follow the chart. According to him, repeated complaints did not lead to any change.
The former India spinner said his frustration eventually boiled over and he tore the diet chart.
"Waha se mujhe nikaal diya gaya. Woh meri galti nahi thi. Main aaj bhi is baat ko khule aam kehta hoon, kyunki woh hamara haq tha. Jo hamara khaana tha, woh achha nahi tha. [They removed me from there. It was not my mistake, I say this openly even today. It was our right. The food was not good there]," the former India spinner said on cricketnextofficial.
"Wahan jo rules aur regulations the, woh yahi the ki humein bahut kuch padhaya ja raha tha, sikhaya ja raha tha. Ek chart lagaya tha, ***** ein tha ki ye diet honi chahiye, expert ki diet ke hisaab se humein woh diet milni chahiye. Lekin woh khaana mil nahi raha tha. [Back then, the rules and regulations were such that we were told and taught a lot, and a chart was put up for the diet. But we were not getting food as per that diet. Despite complaining many times, the food did not improve. So one day I tore that chart. This was my only mistake, that I tore the chart]" Harbhajan said.
Harbhajan said he believed his decision to speak up was necessary because the problems with the diet plan would not have been addressed otherwise.
"But maybe till someone does something like this, things don't change. I was fighting for the rights. If I had not stood up, even today the same diet plan would have been followed. The plan changed, I was also removed, that is a different thing, but it was not my fault. There were some people in the BCCI who did not want someone who could stand up and question them," Harbhajan added.

He played 103 Tests and took 417 wickets, including 25 five-wicket hauls and five 10-wicket match hauls.
In 236 ODIs, Harbhajan claimed 269 wickets, including three five-wicket hauls. He also played 28 T20Is and took 25 wickets.

In this week's Injury Report, starting pitchers took some hits across baseball. The Rays lost Griffin Jax to an elbow injury. Nathan Eovaldi also went down with elbow inflammation. And Hunter Greene's season is over as he's set to undergo elbow surgery. Meanwhile, the Dodgers will welcome back Blake Snell on Tuesday against the Royals. All that and more as we highlight all of the most relevant injury news around baseball.
⚾️ Baseball is back! MLB returns to NBC and Peacock in 2026! In addition to becoming the exclusive home of Sunday Night Baseball, NBC Sports will broadcast MLB Sunday Leadoff, "Opening Day" and Labor Day primetime games, the first round of the MLB Draft, the entire Wild Card round of the postseason, and much more.
This one is a tough blow to the Rays. Jax was scratched from his scheduled start on Saturday against the Mariners with right elbow soreness and placed on the 15-day injured list with elbow discomfort. The 31-year-old right-hander will get a second opinion, something that rarely foretells anything good. Jax has strived since moving from the bullpen and into the starting rotation, with a 3.16 ERA across 82 2/3 innings as a starter. Keep a lookout for an update in the coming days, but fantasy managers should probably be prepared to be without Jax the rest of the way. Michael Grove was recalled to take his spot on the active roster.

Manchester United teenager Harry Amass is tipped to leave the club before the end of the summer, as he's unlikely to be included in the first team's plans.
The young left-back made his senior debut under Ruben Amorim during the 2024/25 campaign, before spending the previous season away on loan.
In September, he joined the struggling Sheffield Wednesday. Although the Owls were on a free fall, the MUFC youth product managed to impress on an individual level, with the club's supporters voting him Player of the Month twice in a row.
Following a bittersweet experience in Sheffield, Amass was recalled to the base in January, before joining Norwich City for the second half of the campaign. But unfortunately for the youngster, his stint was swiftly wrecked by a serious injury.
This summer, Amass rejoined Michael Carrick's squad and has been collecting cameos during the pre-season friendlies.

CALI, Colombia (AP) — A powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia on Monday, killing at least 111 people, damaging hundreds of buildings and leaving many trapped under debris while their loved ones and rescue workers searched through rubble.
Search teams and civilians picked through the remains of destroyed buildings in the country's third-largest city, Cali, passing large pieces of concrete and other rubble down a long line of volunteers.
"Our building has basically been left in ruins, and the building next to ours? Completely collapsed," said Álvaro López, who cradled his dog as he watched the search. The desperate scene recalled the searches still ongoing in neighboring Venezuela weeks after that country was devastated by two powerful earthquakes.
Besides Cali, the quake ravaged cities across western Colombia, including Pereira, Quibdo and Manizales, and was felt in neighboring Ecuador and Panama. The epicenter was in San Jose Del Palmar, a community of about 4,800 people in the Choco region about 250 miles (400 kilometers) west of Bogota, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
Colombia's President Abelardo de la Espriella said at least 87 people were injured and around 1,600 buildings were damaged, including at least 61 that completely collapsed. He declared an emergency to expedite funding for the quake recovery while saying he would visit the disaster zone.

The epicenter was in San Jose Del Palmar, a community of about 4,800 people in the Choco region about 250 miles (400 kilometers) west of Bogota, the U.S. Geological Survey said.
Colombia's President Abelardo de la Espriella said at least 87 people were injured and around 1,600 buildings were damaged, including at least 61 that completely collapsed. He declared an emergency to expedite funding for the quake recovery while saying he would visit the disaster zone.
