U.S. basketball player Brittney Griner pleaded guilty in a Russian court on Thursday to drugs charges that could see her face 10 years in prison, a Reuters journalist reported from the courtroom.

Griner's family have called on U.S. President Joe Biden to step up efforts to secure the WNBA star's release. "I'd like to plead guilty, your honour.

But there was no intent. I didn't want to break the law," Griner said, speaking English, which was then translated into Russian for the court. "I'd like to give my testimony later.

Real Madrid To 'Boycott' Ballon d'Or Ceremony, Say "Does Not Respect..."
Real Madrid said they will stay away from the Ballon d'Or ceremony in Paris on Monday as they are convinced that their striker Vinicius, the favourite to win the men's award, has been snubbed. The club told AFP it questioned the methods behind the selection of the Ballon d'Or winner, saying that defender Dani Carvajal, another of the 30 players nominated, had also been unfairly overlooked.  "If the award criteria doesn't give it to Vinicius as the winner, then those same criteria should point to Carvajal as the winner," the club told AFP.  "As this was not the case, it is clear that Ballon d'Or-UEFA does not respect Real Madrid. And Real Madrid does not go where it is not respected."
