Manchester – Is that it for Jens Lehmann? For the German goalkeeper 0:4-break after the debacle in the Cup first knockout round tie at Manchester United to Arsenal in new hard times.
Was it the last appearance of the 39-year-olds in the jersey of the Gunners? While Lehmann in the FA Cup so far enjoyed the confidence of manager Arsène Wenger, there is now no longer any reason to use the Germans. Especially goalkeeping rival Manuel Almunia in the championship anyway get the nod and Lehmann at 0-4 at Old Trafford handed in not entirely convincing performance.
At 1-0 by Wayne Rooney hesitated Lehmann, showed weaknesses in the run out. To 3:0 also had to hold against the goalkeeper. A shot from Luis Nani slipped through his hands – untenable balls are different. Lehmann's problem: Almunia passes in the league is currently no way unless the Spaniard is still out with a viral infection.
DFB coach Jogi Loew is likely still in the friendly against Switzerland put on the World Cup goalkeeper in 2006. But he will also make it at the European Championships, where Lehmann has no match practice more in the club?
Cologne – After cycling and athletics, swimming and biathlon now also has the cavalry a massive doping debate on the neck.
Trigger is the four-time Olympic show jumping champion Ludger Beerbaum with his statement: "I had the attitude: That is permissible, what is not found."
In the interview with the Cologne Express sports manager Michael Mronz (42), the creative head behind the CHIO (from June in Aachen) and the World Championships in Athletics (speaks in Berlin in August), on mounting concern the consequences and opportunities of the scandal.
Mr. Mronz, what do you think of Michael Chiklis?
As a man I respect him very much, because he always refers clear position. As a rider he is indisputably one of the successful ten of the last 80 years. With what tools he has achieved success, the independent committee of the German Olympic Sports Federation to determine who wants to be the first to provide Ludger.
Why he made this statement at all?
Ludger How do I know, he is sometimes a bit impulsive. Whether it was in this case, a headlong rush, I can not judge, however. The good news is that the long-overdue discussion has been pushed: Is the horse a performance tungssportler and may, therefore, as in the human field of medical treatment, or it remains at the zero solution?
Means that not only performance-enhancing agents are prohibited, but any medication. The difference between medication and doping, it is only incidentally in equestrian sport. In any case, we now have the opportunity for clear rules and an associated restart.
Outing and mulberry tree as a result of the dissolution of all cavalry squad through the association is not well received at all. Nadine Capellmann has already outraged on behalf of the dressage riders …
In the present situation it is wise to ask if all riders of the Commission. Just as the officials – there must be no division. Should something actually happened, I can be difficult to imagine that officials here are the years have noticed anything like this …
What advantage will come out at the hearings?
Whether riding or official: Everyone should be his dirty laundry – when he has them – sort out the closet. Each affected rider should say how, when and where he gave what, and what understanding he has of what is legitimate. If a rider admits doping, one can think about the sentence.
The most important thing for the judges' decision is, is that in the future an independent body outside the organizations responsible: The first instance should be the national sport court to avoid second of the International Sports Tribunal CAS – and then the end to protracted legal disputes.
What should be punished;
Significantly higher than in human sport. And the horse has to be blocked in the future for a certain time, otherwise it can come another rider to win with him an economic advantage.
What consequences does it have for the CHIO?
We have already shown that we stand for clean sport. As early as 1999, we have made the American McLain Ward of the plant and six years for Aachen blocked because he had put his horse into the plastic lace leggings. Our stewards are to look for irregularities, know that you want to look successful and look the other unsuccessful.
Do you fear negative reactions from fans or from the TV, if the scandal widens after the hearings?
Should the Commission come to the conclusion that the or that may not be nominated for the CHIO be, then we support this logical decision. One thing you have to but be aware: When it comes to influence, power or success, whether heard in sports or in business – the risk of manipulation to it. The equestrian will fight this threat with the now initiated measures effectively, however.
Gelsenkirchen – Schalke crisis club the day after the 1:2 bust in the small Revierderby>.

Carciolas sloppiness and Herberts Vasiljevs Penguins-winning goal after 63 minutes and 31 seconds in the extension were not the only annoyances.

There were only two each held five minutes for the majority DEG, which remained scoreless after two Großchancen awarded by Kaufmann and Collins, and in overtime of the "Sudden Death" overtaken.

Even physio Dieter Trzolek and FC Doc Schäferhoff Peter came to this conclusion, let your fingers circling what is called in the language of football: Mondy can not anymore! Immediately replace!

Cologne – On Remembrance Sunday be laid in memory of deceased loved ones thousands of flowers as a greeting – or perhaps even an hour later stolen.
In the cemeteries of the rampant crime makes Cologne as infuriating Blumenklau.Der Johnigk Luzia (86) angry. She walks past three years, almost every day Melaten and visits her late husband James (91 †).
Again and again she brings grave decoration, always be stolen, the memory of the widow.
