Hoog said in their latest
"I think Wade must've been a bit jittery, because right in the middle of the match, he let out an absolutely massive fart.'

'He actually lifted a cheek and let it rip."
Van As struggled to stay composed as she said: 'No, this wasn't just your average fart – it was a full-on, rattling belter!'
Hoog replied: 'Honestly, it was so loud – a proper ripper. I just had to rewind it to make sure I'd heard it right.'
Van As then said: 'He was standing there with his back arched, bum out… what did he think was going to happen?'

'You can't get away with that!' Hoog stated. 'Surely that's not allowed? Wouldn't your pants get a bit grim after that?'
"Probably,' Hoog replied. 'But I doubt he cares. And his opponent — poor bloke — had to keep throwing

He said in a statement: "I feel I must address a situation following my run to the semi-finals of PC22 today.

British too powerful for Paul O'Donovan and Fintan McCarthy at Henley Royal Regatta
The Irish quad had beaten the seeded Dutch national crew on Friday, rowing through them with an impressive turn of pace. But Britain had come directly to this Queen Mother semi-final from a win at the Lucerne World Cup. They looked sharp and alert. They grabbed the lead and then kept the crew of O'Donovan, Daire Lynch, Konan Pazzaia and McCarthy under wraps, despite some strong pushes by the high-rating Irish. The fact that former lightweights can overcome even the biggest of heavyweights was demonstrated spectacularly earlier in the day. Olympic single sculls champion Oli Zeidler, a giant of a man, was beaten by ex-lightweight Fin Hamill in the Diamond Sculls. In the Town, the premier event for women's fours, Emily Hegarty at stroke and Aoife Casey in bow topped and tailed the University of London crew. Their outstanding start was crucial on Friday as they pulled off a shock by beating Australia. In Saturday's semi-final they faced the formidable Dutch four, Hollandia Roeiclub A. The women in orange got the better start and fashioned a one-length lead. UL tried to claw back the advantage, but the Dutch 'snapped the elastic' and won by three and a quarter lengths.

Chelsea face being BANNED from playing Delap, Joao Pedro and Gittens in the Champions League after £27m fine
CHELSEA could be banned from fielding Liam Delap, Joao Pedro and other summer signings in next season's Champions League. The 3 Liam Delap and other new Chelsea stars could be banned from playing in the Champions League Credit: Getty 3 Aces like Joao Pedro may fall foul of Uefa for Chelsea's financial issues Credit: Getty 3 The Blues increased their summer spending with £52million signing Jamie Gittens Credit: Getty But if Chelsea are unable to balance the books by selling or loaning out players in the remainder of the window, the terms of their That is why homegrown defender Trevoh Chalobah is very likely to be sold this summer. Yet even a £40m fee for Chalobah would not be enough to cover the costs of all the new recruits. Uefa last week fined Chelsea a total of £27m, with a potential £52m more to come, for breaching regulations on football earnings and squad cost controls. READ MORE IN FOOTBALL As part of the settlement, the Blues also accepted they could not add players to the 25-man A list for Uefa competitions without the annual cost of those players being covered by savings from removing existing members of the list. The annual cost of a player is calculated by adding his wages to the amortisation value of his transfer fee. For example Delap has joined Chelsea from Ipswich for a fee of £30m on a six-year contract. But Uefa regulations say clubs have to calculate the amortisation over a five-year period. Most read in Football BEST FREE BETS AND BETTING SIGN UP OFFERS Therefore, the amortisation cost of Delap next season will be £30m divided by five - £6m. If the striker is on wages of £100,000 a week, that is £5.2m a year, making the total Delap cost £11.2m. Chelsea CONFIRM transfer of Jamie Gittens as £52m Borussia Dortmund star becomes seventh addition of the summer Should Chelsea want just him to play in the Champions League, they would have to find more than £11.2m in savings from players they wanted to take off the list. The value of an outgoing player is calculated by adding their wages to any profit on their sale. That is why Chalobah is particularly vulnerable to being sold. As a product of the Chelsea academy, his value on the books is zero so any fee received would be pure profit. That was the case when Chelsea sold Mason Mount and Conor Gallagher in the last two summers. A £40m fee for Chalobah, plus the saving in wages, would cover the costs related to Delap, £60m signing Joao Pedro and some others - but not all incomings this summer. Join SUN CLUB for the Chelsea Files every Tuesday plus in-depth coverage and exclusives from Stamford Bridge If Chelsea wanted to sell a player like goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, however, the maths is different. Sanchez arrived from Brighton for £25m two years ago. Amortisation for each of those two years is £5m (£25m divided by 5) making a cost of £10m. Sanchez's value on the books is now £15m (£25m minus the £10m amortisation) so Chelsea would need to sell him for more than that to bank a profit, on top of the saving in wages. Of the 25 players on Chelsea's A list for the knockout stages of the Europa Conference League, the only big earner to leave so far is on-loan Jadon Sancho. The Blues are believed to have paid half of Sancho's £300,000 per week wages from his Manchester United contract - £150,000 a week.. Chelsea paid £5m to get out of an obligation to buy the winger. Sancho's departure will save them £7.8m in wages, but it's still not enough to cover the likely £11.2m cost of Delap. Noni Madueke is now reported to have

Kyle Walker swaps Man City for Burnley, United make second summer signing
ENGLAND DEFENDER KYLE Walker has joined Burnley on a two-year deal. Walker joins the newly-promoted Premier League side from Manchester City, where he had a year remaining on his contract. He had started as club captain of City last season, but finished on loan with AC Milan and was not part of Pep Guardiola's squad for this summer's Club World Cup. A move to Turf Moor reunites Walker with former Tottenham and England team-mate Scott Parker, who helped Burnley reach the top-flight with a second-place finish in last season's Championship. The 35-year-old said: 'I'm delighted to be here. When I spoke to Scott and heard about his plans for next season, it was an opportunity I jumped at. Advertisement 'He's done an amazing job here, guiding the Club back to the Premier League with a 100-point haul, and now we're looking forward, together, at being back in the greatest league in the world. 'Burnley had a tremendous campaign last season, built on an incredible defensive record, and I can't wait to come in and add my experience and quality to what looks an exciting squad.' Walker began his career with Sheffield United before switching to Tottenham and eventually joined City in a £45million [€52.15m] move in 2017, where he has gone on to make 410 English top-flight appearances. In eight years with City, he has won 17 trophies, including six Premier League titles, two FA Cups and one Champions League and was part of their treble-winning team. Walker has also been a key cog for England having been capped 96 times. He becomes Burnley's fifth signing this summer as they look to strengthen for their return to the top-flight with Max Weiss, Quilindschy Hartman, Axel Tuanzebe and Loum Tchouana all joining, while Bashir Humphreys, Marcus Edwards, Zian Flemming and Jaidon Anthony's loan deals have all been made permanent.

The 18-year full-back becomes United's second signing of the summer following the arrival of Wolves forward Matheus Cunha. Leon joins from Paraguayan club Cerro Porteno, where he played 33 games and scored four goals. United said on their official website: 'Leon reached the age of 18 in April and as an emerging talent will be supported by our first team and the academy while he settles into life in Manchester. 'Welcome to United, Diego.'
