David Warner, who is set to play for Australia in the Champions Trophy and Ashes series in England, will have a Cricket Australia disciplinary hearing on Wednesday over comments he made on Twitter in angry exchanges with two journalists.
Cricket Australia said Warner was alleged to have breached a section of its code of conduct relating to "unbecoming behaviour".
Warner used Twitter on Friday night in India to launch an often expletive-filled attack on the News Limited journalists Robert Craddock and Malcolm Conn after taking exception to an article critical of the IPL. Warner played for the competition's Delhi team.
Wasps have signed Bedford Blues prop and member of the armed forces Ricky Reeves for next season.
Lance Corporal Reeves, 31, is part of the 33 Engineer Regiment bomb disposal unit and has served with the British Army in Afghanistan.
He has been given a sabbatical by the army to make the step up from Championship to Premiership rugby.
"We are looking forward to seeing what he can do at the top level," said Wasps boss Dai Young.
"Ricky is an experienced player who has been a key part of Bedford's excellent season this year and is very keen to be given a chance in the Premiership."
Lieutenant Colonel Eldon Millar, Reeves' commanding officer, said: "The qualities required of a Premiership rugby player epitomise those built into a Royal Engineer bomb disposal and search soldier - courage, discipline, respect and commitment.
"Reeves possesses these traits and hopefully they will develop further to the benefit of both parties."
Raheem Sterling had a charge of common assault dropped on Monday after a witness failed to turn up to court.
Sterling, 18, did not have to appear at Liverpool magistrates' court and the case was dismissed when the prosecutor Rob Jones offered no evidence.
The Liverpool winger had been accused of assaulting a woman in Toxteth, Liverpool, last November. The teenager, reportedly paid £30,000 a week, denied the allegation of assault and had hired Stuart Driver QC, a top barrister, to defend him.
Sterling's legal costs will now be paid for by the taxpayer so he will not be "out of pocket", the court heard.
The case has been before Liverpool magistrates' court on three previous occasions, none of which the Premier League winger attended.
On Monday Sterling is understood to have waited in a silver Mercedes people-carrier on a street around the corner from the court and did not enter the building for the 10am case.
The Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, Sterling's agent and other club officials also waited in the car until news came from court that the case had been dropped.
The prosecutor waited until 10.45am until abandoning the case, when the witness failed to attend court. The court heard the allegation was of a minor common assault and it was not in the public interest to force alleged victims and witnesses to come to court for such a matter.
Eight members of a Liverpool-based drugs gang have been jailed for supplying tens of millions of pounds worth of cocaine and heroin to Glasgow.
The seven men from Scotland, and one from Liverpool, were among 30 arrested by police tackling organised crime.
They were given sentences ranging from six years and six months to more than 12 years at Liverpool Crown Court.
Police estimate the gang trafficked drugs with an estimated street value of between £100m and £200m.
The gang members who were sentenced on Monday were:
Thomas Wallace, 45, from Greenock, Inverclyde - jailed for 12 years and eight months
Martin Feeley, 28, from Glasgow - jailed for 11 years and four months
Michael Cook, 28, from Glasgow - jailed for seven years and six months
John O'Donnell, 25, from Greenock - jailed for six years and eight months
Paul Cochrane, 25, from Glasgow - jailed for six years and eight months
Terence Mooney, 58, from Greenock - jailed for eight years
Gary Curran, 45, from Glasgow - jailed for seven years and four months
John Bowles, 69, from Liverpool - jailed for six years and six months
Titan, which is the regional organised crime unit in north-west England, said its intelligence suggested there were at least 111 trips to Scotland.
Det Supt Jason Hudson, head of operations at Titan, said the sentences sent out a clear warning that trade in class A drugs would not be tolerated.
"This gang flooded the streets of Glasgow and other towns in west Scotland with highly-addictive class A drugs, causing untold damage in those communities," he said.
"The hierarchy of the gang enjoyed the profits from a business that made between £100m and £200m, whereas the lower tier members couriered and stored the drugs simply to pay off debts or scrape a dishonest living.
"Regardless of their level of involvement, every single one of this gang is now facing a substantial amount of time behind bars, their liberty stripped away thanks to Titan's successful investigation."
The latest scandal to hit Ford is an alleged video of him smoking crack cocaine that's been seen by three journalists who all identified the Mayor.
A Toronto drug dealer is asking for C$200,000 (£130,000) for the full tape and the US website Gawker is currently approaching $100,000 in its online attempt to raise the money to get its hands on it, which I think we can all agree is the kind of thing democracy and online fundraising sites were invented for.
Unsurprisingly, it's not Ford's first brush with trouble. Here then, are some of his greatest hits. (And Boris, it's time to raise your game.)
Sports fan:
In 2006, the then city councillor is forcibly removed from a Toronto Maple Leafs hockey game after drunkenly insulting an out-of-town couple who asked him to be quiet. Ford responded to that request thus: "Who the f*** do you think you are? Are you a f******* teacher?" Then he asked of the man: "Do you want your little wife to go over to Iran and get raped and shot?" Later Ford apologised.
Cycle advocate:
Not quite Boris or New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg in this regard, during a 2007 debate he suggested that "Roads are built for buses, cars and trucks. Not for people on bikes. And my heart bleeds for them when I hear someone gets killed, but it's their own fault at the end of the day."
On his city's Asian population:
"Those Oriental people work like dogs… they're slowly taking over." Later he apologised for his use of the word, "Oriental".
On the homeless:
In 2002, a council debate on homelessness, Ford reacted to the suggestion of city-wide homeless shelters (rather than just in the city centre): "This is an insult to my constituents to even think about having a homeless shelter in their ward. And you want me to have a public meeting to discuss this? Why don't we have a public lynching?"
Avid reader:
Last August, Ford, who insists on driving himself to work, was snapped by a Twitter user (allegedly while going 70mph) reading papers on the city's Gardiner Expressway. When questioned about it by a reporter, an exasperated Ford replied: "Ridiculous questions sometimes, seriously." He was also accused of giving the middle finger to a woman who told him not to use his phone while driving.
Bus commander:
In November, Ford was criticised after a Toronto bus was emptied of passengers and rerouted to collect the school football team he coaches. Ford denied asking for the bus to be emptied.
The London finance commission report, launched at City Hall last week, may seem a world away from the lives of people struggling to find good homes in the capital, but its recommendations are central to tackling the problems that Londoners face.
The commission, chaired by Tony Travers of the London School of Economics, sets out an agenda for change which could mean that London's democratically elected politicians would not only set the priorities for the government of the city, but also have control of the money to take action when and where it was most effective.
Britain has one of the most centralised systems of governance and public finance in the world. In New York, the mayor and the boroughs determine the way that 50% of taxes raised in the city are spent; in London that figure is just 7%.
Why does this matter? Housing is a case in point. The housing crisis is having a much greater impact on Londoners than in other parts of the country – with rents and house prices still rising in the capital as they fall elsewhere.
A rising number of people are becoming homeless, which puts greater pressure on local councils as they struggle to find sustainable homes for residents.
The acute impact is seen by councillors now in their surgeries, but the chronic cost of the crisis – such as the effect on the educational performance of children living in overcrowded accommodation – is yet to be felt.
London's councils have recognised these problems for some years, yet they still have to go cap in hand to central government to demand resources to tackle the problem rather than being able to respond quickly to address the issues that are a priority for the people who elect them.
As Tony Travers points out in his introduction, Londoners know that they need new railways, schools, waste facilities and, of course, homes. "Because of our day-to-day dependence on physical infrastructure, we believe London voters would be more likely than voters elsewhere in Britain to prioritise spending on long-term investment," he writes.
Londoners are different, as are Mancunians and Liverpudlians. Our centralised system of government fails to recognise this to all our costs. As Scotland and Wales, with their combined economies smaller than that of London, take on the mantle of devolved government it is time for England to experience the benefits of devolution too.
There is much detail to be worked out on how London's boroughs will work with the mayor to make sure that decision-making on a devolved taxation system truly reflects local priorities and the diversity of the city, but the report sets out strong principles to guide this process on which we will be building in the coming months.
Next time you hear the words "local government finance" and, in particular, the London finance commission, don't fall asleep. Sit up and take notice. It's all about jobs, growth, railways, schools and homes.

While out of action, he was
arrested for drink driving
in March after being caught driving the wrong way down a street in Copenhagen, Denmark.
For that incident, he was fined 842,000 Danish krone (£97,200), had his driving licence suspended for three years and was banned from the national team for six months.
Bendtner was making his first appearance of 2013 on Saturday and came on as a 74th-minute substitute, but then suffered the fractured wrist when he landed heavily following a challenge.
The defeat for Juventus at Stadio Luigi Ferraris came on the final day of the Italian top-flight season.
Bendtner came through the youth system at Arsenal and broke into the first team in 2005, but has struggled to hold down a regular place in Arsene Wenger's side.
The New Bus for London is undoubtedly a striking addition to the streets of London.
What's also striking for those who have followed its story is how the argument for it has shifted.
The New Bus was born in the 2008 election campaign and it helped propel the now Mayor Boris Johnson into City Hall.
Who actually came up with the idea isn't clear but soon we'll have hundreds of the new buses on the street.
Anti bendy-bus
Initially the New Bus was linked to the anti-bendy bus argument, that Mr Johnson was making at the time.
This did have resonance with people who didn't like the bendy buses - although their road safety record was much better than was portrayed.
And the New Bus seemed to appeal to nostalgia and strands of libertarianism with its hop-on, hop-off platform and in my experience the reaction from the public is usually positive.
The idea of a bendy bus killer seemed to hit a nerve. Mr Johnson then deposed the Labour Mayor Ken Livingstone.
Looking at my notes from the time, the cost to build the new bus was then quoted as £100m.
Then the argument changed.
At the launch of a competition to design it, I specifically remember it becoming about providing a green, clean bus to try and solve the air pollution crisis in London.
£200m bill
As the project developed the costs also began to shift and change. The prototypes and the research and development cost £11m for eight buses.
When they were deemed a success a further order for 600 buses was meant to be paid for by the bus operators.
That didn't happen and Transport for London (TfL) is now footing the more than £200m bill for the 600 buses - it says it will save money in the long-term. It will also pay the £11m development costs.
And the cost of the actual individual buses has also shifted. Remember this is one of the flagship projects of the mayor.
Running costs
In his 2012 transport manifesto the Mr Johnson said the New Bus would cost "not cost more … than an existing hybrid". That is usually about £300,000.
Today in the Telegraph the mayor says: "If the new bus fulfils the promise it has shown in tests, we will be able to save so much on fuel that it will actually come out cheaper then our current hybrid buses."
So Mr Johnson is now including the savings in running costs, to say the new bus is cheaper than an off-the-shelf hybrid.
Also the argument for having the buses has shifted again.
Considerable pride
Now they are a reason to invest in London's transport as it provides jobs and growth across the UK. The mayor is using them to try to persuade the government not to cut TfL's budget.
Perhaps City Hall will say all its arguments for the New Bus are valid. Perhaps they will say all the costs are justifiable and big changes are inevitable in such a project.
There is also considerable pride at TfL and City Hall that they have delivered such a bus.
But you have to remember this isn't a normal transport project - its roots are deeply political and as such it's a chameleon - and can and will be used to influence the political landscape.
On a small tide of misinformation, White Hart Lane was suddenly awash with dreams of the Champions League. Tottenham and their fans should have known better.
As Spurs strived to score the goal that would fulfil their part of the equation required to secure fourth place, there was a sudden eruption of sound as Newcastle United equalised against Arsenal.
Only they had not equalised. Nothing of the sort. It was one of those false alarms that often afflict football stadia on days such as Sunday, when attention is in two places at once, when two results can shape a season.
Tottenham's final points tally of 72 has eclipsed their previous best Premier League haul of 70, set in 2009-10.
The Gunners, as they have done so often, came out on top of their fiercest rivals, and the summer ramifications for both clubs were being sifted through within seconds of the final whistle sounding at both grounds.
The cruelty of the "ghost" equaliser on Tyneside, and those final four minutes when White Hart Lane tried to summon up a Newcastle goal, epitomised the treatment meted out to Spurs by the Champions League in the last 12 months.
Spurs fans could only glance wistfully at television scenes that showed Arsenal celebrations at St James' Park. They had their noses pressed up against the window once more, although they swallowed that disappointment to demonstrate genuine warmth to manager Andre Villas-Boas and his players on the lap of appreciation.
Arsenal had reached the Champions League for a 16th successive time under Arsene Wenger. It is an achievement that will keep serious discontent at bay, offering some optimism for the future despite another season without a trophy.
Even if Arsenal had failed to reach what must be regarded as their minimum goal, Wenger would have remained in his post.
He retains the complete faith of his board of directors, who believe they are now on the cusp of reaping the benefits of years of careful financial management by adding to Wenger's financial power in the transfer market.
Arsenal fans have railed against promises of a brighter future, but finishing fourth not only means they end the season draped in a good feeling, they are now in a stronger position to attract better talent.
Despite the cynicism of some Arsenal fans, and plenty outside the Emirates, there is a genuine conviction inside the club that the platform has now been established for imminent lift-off.
With Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City all under new management at the start of next season, Arsenal have the opportunity to show they mean business with some serious statements of transfer intent.
And for those, like myself, who have sometimes been critical of Wenger and his team this season, it is only fair to admit they deserve praise for digging in during troubled times and hitting the target their manager now regards as close to lifting a trophy.
Since
losing to Spurs at White Hart Lane on 3 March
and falling seven points behind their rivals, Arsenal have shown great resolve to put together a 10-match unbeaten Premier League run. Some of the points may not have been collected with the swagger and style Wenger adores but there were no complaints on Sunday night. Never mind the quality - count the Champions League money.
Spurs can still attract 'big players'
In contrast, Spurs have carelessly cast points aside in
defeat at Liverpool
and, decisively, in
losing at home to Fulham
after a gruelling Europa League extra-time period against Inter Milan in the San Siro.
Villas-Boas was gracious despite his deflation, his gazed fixed firmly on
the costly defeat at Everton in December
when Spurs lost 2-1 despite leading at the start of stoppage time.
He may have finished lower than last season - and his predecessor Harry Redknapp ended up getting the sack last summer - but there seemed satisfaction in the Spurs boardroom and from supporters as to how the Portuguese has acquitted himself in his first campaign.
Villas-Boas was moving through a period of public rehabilitation after
his sacking at Chelsea.
His handling of players and the media this season does him credit and, like all good coaches and managers, he looked to have learned from this most painful period of his career.
He has overseen a solid season at Spurs, showing growing maturity. It should be remembered that he is still young in coaching terms and he will feel heartened by the reception he received after the final whistle.
There was, though, a fear that came with this failure to reach the Champions League. It was a fear heightened by the manner in which this game was won, like so many others this season, by a moment of world-class finishing by Bale.
What would Spurs do, and where would they be, without him?
He has accrued spectacular goals and personal accolades with regularity - and the fear is that his lack of exposure to Europe's elite competition makes him more vulnerable to predators.
Villas-Boas was strident. He has been assured "from the top" that Bale will not be sold and history will tell him chairman Daniel Levy will not sell until a time of his choosing.
There is no doubt, however, that a place in the Champions League would have taken those concerns about Bale down a notch. Potential suitors may feel more emboldened to try their luck as he ponders Thursday nights in the Europa League next season.
The mood swings among north London's two giants were violent at the end of the Premier League campaign, the contrasting emotions reflecting what was at stake. Arsenal, as they have a habit of doing in this local rivalry, ended the season on top, contemplating the riches the Champions League will give them.

The Met Office has issued severe weather warnings for south east Scotland and higher ground through central parts of England, where heavy rain is expected to fall today
It might have been reasonable to believe spring was finally here with some of the temperatures the country has been enjoying recently.
But parts of the country have had to brace themselves today after forecasters predicted heavy showers, flash flooding and huge hailstones.
Heavy rainfall started in parts of Scotland this afternoon, according to the Meteogroup, at times reaching a rate of 50mm of rainfall an hour in areas around Dundee. The showers were moving in a south easterly direction.
Forecasters have said the unstable weather was because of the warm humid air in Scotland - Glasgow has so far seen the highest temperature in Britain after the mercury hit 22C earlier today.
Meteogroup forecaster Claire Austin said: 'It only really kicked off in the last couple of hours.
'At 2pm we started seeing some of the showers developing and they have started getting properly heavier from about 3pm.'
The Met Office issued severe weather warnings for south east Scotland and across the higher ground through the central part of England, where heavy rain was expected to fall today.
There has been some good news however, as sunshine is expected for most of the country during parts of the upcoming week, while temperatures were also expected to hit 19C elsewhere today.
Helen Chivers, forecaster for the Met Office, said: 'We are expecting some very heavy showers to break out through this afternoon, mostly up the spine of the Pennines, so the higher ground in the central parts of the country, and particularly in south east Scotland.
'We have actually got severe weather warnings out for both of those areas.
'There's an amber warning out for the Scottish regions, where we are expecting the heaviest of the weather to be.
'We could find some flash flooding in areas and large hail stones which could make travelling conditions very difficult.'
Ms Chivers said between 20 and 30ml of rain could fall in the space of one hour. She said hail was most likely to fall in Scotland while thunderstorms and heavy winds were likely to hit central parts of England.
The showers will dry up this evening, meaning most of the country will be dry going into tomorrow. Ms Chivers said: 'Tomorrow is a bit of a cloudy start but the clouds will break up.
While showers are expected in parts of the country today, sunshine could break out later on in the week
Heavy rain has fallen across parts of Scotland including Dundee this afternoon, at times reaching a rate of up to 5mm/hour
'We can expect a few showers to break out in the afternooon, not as many as today, and once again I think they will be over high ground.
'But for most of us it should be a fine day after a rather cloudy start and we should get temperatures in the mid-teens.'
And while Wednesday should not be too bad either, there is the possibility of one or two showers. Ms Chivers said there was also a possibility of some mountain snow over the Scottish highlands.
She said: 'But again, Wednesday looks like being a bright day with some sunshine breaking through.
'On Thursday and Friday we get a bit of an east-west split. The eastern side is going to be cloudy with some rain around, but for the western side of the country it looks fine and dry with some sunshine.'

The birds at the Bishops Palace in Wells, Somerset, were teaching their brood how to ring a bell for food
Swans have been synonymous with Wells for centuries where resident swans patrol the stunning 13th century Bishop's Palace
The birds at the Bishops Palace in Wells, Somerset, have been teaching their brood how to ring a bell for food - something that has become a popular spectacle there for over a century.
Swans have been synonymous with Wells for centuries where resident swans patrol the stunning 13th century Bishop's Palace which has been home to the Bishop of Bath and Wells for more than 800 years.
The swans of Wells have the unusual habit of ringing a bell by the Palace drawbridge to ask for food.
The unusual spectacle started 200 years ago when the daughter of an 19th century Bishop taught her favourite swan to ring the gatehouse bell for scraps of food - a technique that has been passed down the swan generations.
