Decision 2 years overdue for the 2 planning applications on the grounds of #Bessboro has been refused. Not to do with the historical nature of the property but because of the scale & mix of the development. WE ARE DELIGHTED. #SaveBessboro

The Brussels court has ruled in favor of a 51-year-old transgender woman in her dispute with the UCI, Le Soir reports. The transgender woman was previously banned from women's races but is now allowed to compete again. The judge ruled that the exclusion was unjustified.
