A Spanish judge on Wednesday refused to demand that the suspected mastermind of one of the sporting world’s biggest blood doping rackets provide the names of the athletes implicated in the scandal. The ruling in the so-called “Operation Puerto” case could avert a huge fall-out from the high-profile trial, with suspects across the drug-tarnished world of cycling and perhaps in other sports potentially at risk. The court in Madrid was told that Italy’s Olympic Committee had asked judge Julia Patricia Santamaria to order chief suspect doctor Eufemaniano Fuentes to identify the athletes whose blood had been stored in packs seized by police....

The Greenback cutthroat trout, Colorado’s state fish, was thought to be extinct in the 1930s, when it had been decimated due to mining pollution, overfishing and competition from other species. Biologists from Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) said on Friday that the fish is naturally reproducing, marking the official recovery of the once-extinct species. CPW said in a statement that “this is huge,” after more than a decade of “intensive efforts” to rescue the species from the brink of extinction....

Juventus began the game well and dictated much of the play in the early stages. They made their dominance count when great interplay from Danilo and Weston McKinnie allowed the latter to tee up Alvaro Morata for the opening goal in the 16th minute. The Bianconeri spurned a couple of chances, and were made to pay as Tommaso Pobega scored a well-deserved equaliser for Spezia in the 32nd minute....

Moise Kean scored his first goal since returning to Juventus to open the scoring. But the lead was short-lived as Emmanuel Gyasi equalized in the 33rd minute and to rub it in, did the CR7 celebration. Janis Antiste doubled the hosts’ lead four minutes into the second half. Juventus upped their ante after going behind and the pressure finally got too much for the hosts. Federico Chiesa and Matthijs de Ligt scored two goals in six minutes to give Juventus the decisive lead....

The induction of Venom in Spider-Man 2 has many in the gaming community excited, but Venom’s presence in the game does present some rather unique connotations.

It was great TV. But was it good intelligence? At the Pentagon, the get-Saddam hard-liners thought so. They spread word that the woman’s story had largely checked out and boasted that Lampsos had passed a lie-detector test administered by the Defense Intelligence Agency. The Central Intelligence Agency, however, was dubious. Saddam had never before taken a mistress of European descent, the CIA analysts noted. If Saddam had wanted to kill Uday, he would have succeeded, they argued....

Last week a former member of the World Church of the Creator, Benjamin Nathaniel Smith, committed suicide after allegedly killing two and wounding eight Asians, blacks and Jews over a three-day shooting spree. Smith was likely introduced to white supremacy the old-fashioned way–through leaflets and face-to-face meetings. But he’s just the type of recruit hate groups are looking for: youthful and well educated. Organizations like the Ku Klux Klan want to expand their ranks beyond aging, less affluent whites, and the Web gives them a powerful tool to attract savvy and privileged Netsters....

Starting May 22 and lasting through May 24, Splatfest is returning to Splatoon 2. It’s not a brand new Splatfest, however. It’ll be a rerun of of Splatoon 2’s very first Splatfest, Mayo vs. Ketchup. Splatoon 2 fans hoping to have just one more event likely won’t mind that it’s a repeat, of course.

RELATED:Splatoon 3: What is Weapon Freshness and How to Raise It Sub-weapons come packaged with specific main weapons and special weapons, somewhat limiting the possible loadouts. Just like main weapons, they also cost ink to use, meaning they might be unusable if a player’s ink levels are low, or might leave them inkless after use. Due to this, there’s a tight balance of effectiveness and ink cost that a sub-weapon requires to be seen as one of the best....

Fisher had some missteps towards the end of his career, but a few of the earliest Splinter Cell games were some of the best in the whole series. Some entries simply haven’t aged all that well, while some have aged gracefully. Other entries never really had much of a footing to stand on in the first place, one of which doesn’t necessarily count as a mainline game. Certain entries tried new gameplay concepts/ideas and experimented with the formula, to varying degrees of success depending on which Splinter Cell fan played them....

In a livestream recorded Monday morning, 1047 made several interesting announcements regarding the future of Splitgate.
