LISBON: British cyclist Finlay Tarling, 19, died Friday in a crash during the eighth stage of the Tour of Portugal, race organizers and police said. Tarling, a rider with the NSN Development Team, died following a “serious accident” during the stage between Melgaço and Fafe, organizers said. The podium ceremony was canceled “as a sign of respect and mourning,” they added. A spokesman for Portugal’s National Republican Guard (GNR), Tiago Machado, said there had been a collision between a cyclist and a light vehicle toward the back of the peloton. “We do not yet know exactly the circumstances in which it unfolded. We will investigate,” he told reporters, adding that there was “a strong police presence” throughout the stage. Portuguese broadcaster RTP, which was televising the race, reported that Tarling was involved in a head-on collision with a vehicle traveling in the opposite direction and not connected to the event. The stage was suspended with about 20 kilometers (12 miles) remaining, it added. Jose Marques, who is responsible for stage safety at the Tour of Portugal, said he tries to correct road signage ahead of stages to “give the athletes the maximum protection.” “But there are things we cannot control, such as traffic.

SAN ISIDRO, Argentina: Diego Maradona showed “warning signs” that went unheeded during the home hospitalization leading up to his death in 2020, a witness on Tuesday told the trial examining the Argentine football legend’s demise. Seven health care professionals have been on trial since mid-April in Argentina for potential negligence that may have contributed to his death. The World Cup winner died of heart failure and acute pulmonary edema — a condition where fluid accumulates in the lungs — two weeks after undergoing surgery. Forensic physician Carlos Cassinelli said he had observed “warning signs” including edema in the lower limbs, swelling in the fingers, shortness of breath and signs of hypertension and an abnormally fast heart rate. “Nobody went to see what that swelling was about” even though it posed “a life-threatening risk,” he told the court in San Isidro, north of Buenos Aires. Cassinelli is a member of a medical board that analyzed an array of records and statements to determine Maradona’s state of health. “We believe these warning signs were not taken into account by the doctors because their approach did not change,” he said, adding that he thought home hospitalization had been a mistake. According to the witness, the footballer’s condition had worsened in the days following his discharge from hospital. “The deterioration was progressive...
