trouble at rangers, the club captain and kenny miller both suspended after a bust up with the manager after a bust up with the manager after that defeat against celtic. uk anti—doping step up their fight against the chiefs, sniffer dogs could be the answer. the chase is over. one of jump could be the answer. the chase is over. one ofjump racing's best, cue card, has been retired. also coming up, after his hat—trick of golds on the gold coast, jack law is back home and dry and is targeting more medals for years to come. i'm still 23, i hopefully have this olympics and maybe even one more in me, i would like to achieve that, doing
6:32 pm
four different olympics would be really cool. a look ahead to the london marathon next weekend coming up, we will hear from mo farah and two men who finished last year's raced together, not that they really wanted to. plenty of fallout from the football this weekend, an interview with a premier league champion coming up but we start in scotland. rangers have suspended their club captain lee wallace and striker kenny miller following a heated exchange, with the manager graeme murty. chris mclaughlin has more detail. there was obvious frustration among
6:33 pm
the rangers players, i could see that boiling over into the dressing room as often happens but what was said is actually from club captain lee wallace and striking kenny miller, the club believe overstepped a mark. i believe there is a suggestion they may well have questioned graeme murty‘s tactics. there is no suggestion this became physical, it was all verbal but whatever was said by miller and wallace, the club believe overstepped the mark. they were summoned, suspended and have been told to stay away. we are getting very close toward the end of the season, what does this mean for the players going forward with rangers andindeed players going forward with rangers and indeed the manager? players going forward with rangers and indeed the manager7m players going forward with rangers and indeed the manager? it has been suggested to me that the players are very unlikely to play for rangers again. kenny miller had a contract
6:34 pm
that expired in a few weeks anyway so that expired in a few weeks anyway so it's more than likely they will pay him up and move him on. the captain lee wallace is a different scenario, because he has 14 months left on his deal at ibrox. it has been suggested to me that it's very unlikely he has a future at the club, slightly more difficult to move him on. you are right to mention the manager, graeme murthy, in place at the end of the season. there is confusion about who will ta ke there is confusion about who will take over after that. my understanding is able not be graeme murty, they are out of cup competition, rangers, and fighting desperately to second place in the league. it was a dark day for rangers fans obviously, what is their reaction? would they feel they are siding with the players, who clearly care about the club, if you look at it that way, they are clearly upset about the result, even if they did take it over the line,
6:35 pm
oi’ if they did take it over the line, or would they back the club and the manager's stance on this one? in all honesty, fans just want to see some kind of situation where there is normality at ibrox. there has been for so long so much wrong at that club, andi for so long so much wrong at that club, and i think in terms of whether or not they back the players oi’ whether or not they back the players or kwame murthy, finau graeme murty is probably not going to be the manager moving forward. this club just wants to get back to wherever it was, they are desperate to see rangers challenging celtic. financial meltdown over the last few yea rs, financial meltdown over the last few years, they just want to see a financial meltdown over the last few years, theyjust want to see a club they can believe in. sergio aguero is set to miss the rest of manchester city's season after undergoing minor knee surgery. the world cup in russia will become his main target. the title is all wrapped up thanks
6:36 pm
in part to aguero's 21 league goals this season, and one man who really epitomises pep guardiola's team effort at city is bernardo silva who has played in 30 of their 31 matches, and was the matchwinner against chelsea only last month. matches, and was the matchwinner against chelsea only last monthm feels great to win such a hard league like the premier league. when the game finished of course we meant to celebrate, john came to pick me up, we went to meet with some staff, with players, some bands as well, they joined with players, some bands as well, theyjoined us, it is a fantastic moments to be able to celebrate with all of them. —— some fans as well. the main goalfor us all of them. —— some fans as well. the main goal for us was to win the premier league, everyone knows how difficult it is. to win it and be able to celebrate it, it's something fantastic. now it's time to enjoy. everyone can see, the way it was,
6:37 pm
the team we played as, the way pep guardiola built this team, it was fantastic. all the players enjoyed being here to play this way. personally i learned a lot of things everyday, it's been a fantastic experience to be managed by him, yes, of course. lots more premier league football this week, it is the town of brighton and tottenham down on the south coast this evening. still to come on sportsday, one year on, remember this? it's still to come on sportsday, one year on, rememberthis? it's not still to come on sportsday, one year on, remember this? it's not how you would choose to finish the london marathon... but at least he did finish with a big helping hand. anyone who has run 26 miles and has the patience and kindness to stop and help someone else is a good fellow. really interesting interview coming
6:38 pm
up really interesting interview coming up there about the club runners and his plight last year. uk anti—doping stepping up their efforts in the fight against drug cheats, increased funding means they will take double the amount of test to 6000 a year by 2022, they have also come up with 32 disruptive techniques to help deter cheats. the use of sniffer dogs is being considered to help trace performance enhancing substances. putting a sniffer dog at an event where remains sniff out illicit substances, performance enhancing su bsta nces substances, performance enhancing substances being ta ken substances, performance enhancing substances being taken in, is a good destruction technique. it might not have any success but it is drawing attention to people that we are thinking of a range of measures, it could be very early intervention with individuals we think might be at risk of doping. because of intelligence of those that they are
6:39 pm
engaged with. going along and talking them through, giving them the opportunity to change their pathway. one ofjump racing's most successful horses, cue card, has been retired. paddy brennan partnered him for many of those su ccesses partnered him for many of those successes including the king george at kempton in 2015. i am delighted to say hejoins at kempton in 2015. i am delighted to say he joins us live now. evening to say he joins us live now. evening to you, paddy. tell us what kind of horse 0 card was on the service he has given your sport. like everyone said, cue card was an absolute legend. he captured a imagination for being able to keep going in his careerfor for being able to keep going in his career for so for being able to keep going in his careerfor so long. for being able to keep going in his career for so long. what a for being able to keep going in his careerfor so long. what a horse, very ha rd to careerfor so long. what a horse, very hard to come across a horse like him. would you say your greatest year was 2015 into 16, very close to doing the triple crown after the vet their chase, the king george and then coming unstuck in
6:40 pm
the gold cup? definitely. i picked the gold cup? definitely. i picked the write—up that year, the first timei the write—up that year, the first time i rode him was in the charlie hall and t1, then we wonder that their chase, the king george, it was all rolling onto the gold cup where u nfortu nately we all rolling onto the gold cup where unfortunately we hit the ground. it was a roller—coaster honestly, just being associated with such a legend. he gave me and my family so much fun along the years. i'm very grateful for that. those two fools in the gold cup at the third last, do you think that's what endeared him to the public even more, that he was able trier, you talked about coming back and trying again? yeah, the year before i picked the rider, he went through a bit of a loan spell. that's what made him special, he was able to bounce back. that day he fell in the first cheltenham gold cup andi fell in the first cheltenham gold cup and i rode him, it was a really bad fall and he was so luckyjust to get up from the ground, that was a
6:41 pm
relief for everybody. the fact he was able to come back and win on the bridle, he was so tough, you get lots of good horses but not many special ones. he was definitely a special ones. he was definitely a special resource. he earned over one million pounds, something like that. colin tizard said something lovely, he said it was a lovely decision to make in the end, that cue card retires fit and sound. exactly. you can imagine the pressure colin and the tizard team had been under. his ownerjane bishop, he became the public course, the people's horse, i'm sure it's a relief because the last thing anyone wanted to do was go to the races and have anything bad happened. he has retired monfils, he will have a long, happy tripoli. many thanks. -- he will have a long, happy retirement hopefully. another wave of commonwealth athletes have arrived home from the gold coast, a big
6:42 pm
cheer as you might imagine for england's netball is at heathrow, the gold medal secured with the final throw, one of the game's highlights. there they are, home safe and sound. you are in a bubble there, anything that is given an attic commonwealth games is all you know about. having the response we had was absolutely incredible, appreciate it. one of the best things you do about it is inspiring young girls to go and play netball, getting more people involved in the sport. if it can inspire more girls to play, that's amazing, such a bonus. jack law arrived home in a few days ago, the leeds side that won a hat—trick of goals. —— diver. hejoined me in the bbc centre here and told me about his targets.
6:43 pm
commentator: gold medallist and commonwealth champion, representing england, jack law... it feels amazing, especially after the heartbreak of glasgow, getting two golds and the silver, i know that's not really heartbreak but it was heartbreaking for me, i wanted the clea n heartbreaking for me, i wanted the clean sweep. to do go out and achieve the dream of getting all three is a fantastic achievement and something i have worked really hard for over these years. you have so many competitions and targets to import, world cup this year, world championships every two years, olympics in two years obviously, in tokyo, where does the commonwealth games and in all that, when you are so games and in all that, when you are so busy with so many medals to target? the commonwealth games to me means a lot, personally. it's not as big in terms of diving because you haven't got the likes of china or mexico but you still have fantastic diving nations. it means a lot personally because english pride, i
6:44 pm
have watched the commonwealth since i was have watched the commonwealth since iwasa have watched the commonwealth since i was a kid, it's one of those huge events broadcast around the world so that means a lot to me and the british population. the state of british population. the state of british diving seems so healthy at the moment, less than ten years ago we had tom daley making his breakthrough at the world championships at the age of 15 or something. 151 championships at the age of 15 or something. 15 i think. getting his gold medal. it seems there are a lot more of you on the scene. was that what tom daley dared that brought everybody else into it? was it the extra funding he brought, what was it? we suddenly seem to be blessed with a lot of good british divers. it? we suddenly seem to be blessed with a lot of good british diverslj think with a lot of good british divers.” think we are in a fantastic position, we have a tremendous amount of talent. tom did a huge amount of talent. tom did a huge amount of talent. tom did a huge amount of the sport, whether bringing infunding amount of the sport, whether bringing in funding or medial retention in general. the sport has gone from strength to strength. —— funding for media attention. he was the inspiration for lots of us, we he was the inspiration for lots of
6:45 pm
us, we are he was the inspiration for lots of us, we are all similar ages. i'm 23, tom is turning 2a scene. to see someone tom is turning 2a scene. to see someone the same age as tom is turning 2a scene. to see someone the same age as you achieving much of that age. that really is inspirational. what do you think is the shelf life of a diver, when do you start thinking about life outside the sport? it can be anything, like anything, anything could happen. something terrible had happened tomorrow and that's the end of my career, i'm looking about 28 to 30 is one would hope to hang up the speedos, as it were. then take my meadows and walk away from the sport. i'm still 23 and i have hopefully this olympics and another emmy. i would like to achieve that, going to four different olympics would be really cool. i'm still in good shape and i have no injuries and stuff, i'm working really hard and stuff, i'm working really hard and my team around the works tirelessly to make sure i'm in good shape. i think the funding that would go and the backing with, medically as well, i don't think there's any reason i condo want to
6:46 pm
be 29 years old and competing four olympics. jack law and his three commonwealth golds. it's the london marathon next weekend, mo farah has won the race before but is now concentrating on this distance full—time after retiring from the track, he is in a very elite men's field. an olympic champion in london and rio, he won six world titles over his distances, eighth on his marathon debut in london years ago but he is looking for a big improvement on that. it's nice to have that supports and to have people who think he will win every race, but track, i did that, i did a number of years of it over a decade of winning races. now i'm starting a new career in the marathon, it will be totally different. london marathon is one of the bigmouth bombs in the world, it seems to
6:47 pm
bring in most of the best runners who turn up here. so sunday's rates will be a difficult one. last year one of the defining images came from a bit further down the field... you might remember two club runners, david really struggling on them all but he was helped across the line by matthew, and they were given the inaugural is writ of london award by the organisers. both men are taking pa rt the organisers. both men are taking part again. —— spirit of london. what is really nice about what happened is we kind of appreciate that we are part of a story that ca ptu red that we are part of a story that captured attention and something people talk about. nice that what we are representing is the spirit of the running community and that there are club runners out there who are trying to do the best they can. sometimes, with the virgin money, london marathon, there are so much
6:48 pm
celebrated around the top end of the race and all the amazing charity fundraising that's done an incredible costumes and so on. it feels like a bridge that gap, something happened in the middle of the field where other runners are coming through. something certainly did happen, let's remind ourselves now. matt, when did you spot david in trouble? i came round the final corner, nearly finishing the race and out of the corner of my eye i saw david, his legs turned to jelly, and asi saw david, his legs turned to jelly, and as i came up to him he dropped to the ground. it that point i thought he was going to need some help to finish the race. so initially i tried to let him do it on his own but it became clear that he was going to need a helping hand and some support to finish the race he started. i was so focused, i had clear vision of what was going on, clear vision of what was going on, clear recollection, but what my body was going through at that point was scary. i had pushed it to its limit,
6:49 pm
and it was just going scary. i had pushed it to its limit, and it wasjust going in scary. i had pushed it to its limit, and it was just going in shutdown essentially. i don't see myself as a hero, if it wasn't me it would be the next runner. i raced throughout the next runner. i raced throughout the uk and abroad and i see people helping each other all the time. it'sjust nice that people can see that in the running community we will support each other. how do you look back on it now, slightly embarrassed or it just look back on it now, slightly embarrassed or itjust happens?” have no regrets, to be honest i don't care how i looked. i was so keen and focus on what i was doing. now, matt says he's not a hero, but he is hero. anyone who has run 26 miles and can have the patience and kindness to stop and help someone else, not only that but physically pick up 65 kilograms of the floor and drag him to the line, he's a good fellow. will you start
6:50 pm
together, will you go again? you are both very good marathon runners, you have broken two and a half hours, that will probably be your target. how are you looking forward to it? really looking forward to it. training has gone well. i can't wait to get out on the street, the atmosphere will be great. hoping i can run the best rate i can, it would be great to start with david and see him at the end as well. good luck to them both and 40,000 others on sunday. it will be hot in sunday on sunday. it will be hot in sunday on the capital. it got heated on the monte on the capital. it got heated on the m o nte carlo on the capital. it got heated on the monte carlo tennis court recently. a server from monte carlo tennis court recently. a serverfrom his opinion monte carlo tennis court recently. a server from his opinion albert ramos—vinolas was out, he thought, but it was called in. he had a fewer words for the umpire. there is a mark on right here! no, no, no.
