Pogacar may face fine for running red light in Flanders win

​Image source, Getty Images. ByMike Peter. BBC Sport journalist. 5 April 2026. 413 Comments. Updated 6 April 2026. Defending champion Tadej Pogacar won a record-equalling third Tour of Flanders, but could face action after he was one of up to 20 riders who ran a red light at a railway crossing.. The East Flanders public prosecutor told BBC Sport it was investigating the incident which happened with more than 200km (124 miles) left in the race.. The peloton was told to stop at a level crossing as the lights turned to red, but a group at the front – including Pogacar and Remco Evenepoel – slipped across the tracks in pursuit of the early leaders.. Slovenian Pogacar said they had not been not given enough warning to slow down.. “Suddenly three guys jump on the middle of the road and start waving to stop,” he said.. “How can you stop in one second? I think they could prevent this by stopping us before, no? Not 10 metres before the crossing.. “I was thinking, maybe it’s like some protesters or something crazy is going on.”. According to Belgian media,, external the riders could reportedly face fines ranging from 320 euros (£280) to 4,000 euros (£3,500) and driving bans of eight days.. Pogacar, 27, has now won both Monument races this season, having triumphed at Milan-San Remo in March.. Sunday’s victory draws Pogacar level with Mathieu Van der Poel and six other cyclists on three wins at the Belgian event, having also won in 2023.. He now has 12 victories in Monuments – the five most prestigious one-day events in men’s road cycling – putting him clear in second in the all-time list behind only 19-time winner Eddy Merckx.. “It was a really crazy race today. I don’t know what to say – super-hard from I don’t know which kilometre,” Pogacar told Belgian television.. “I don’t race too much, so when I race there is pressure to win. So far everything went perfect for me, so I can be more than happy.. “Coming next week to Roubaix, I can go motivated, but I try to enjoy the cobbles.”. On his Flanders debut,double Olympic champion Evenepoel held off fellow Belgian Wout van Aert for third in the 278km race, which features punchy climbs and a number of cobbled sections.. With 57km left to race Pogacar, Van der Poel and Evenepoel dropped the rest of the field with an acceleration on the second of three ascents up the Oude Kwaremont.. Evenepoel was left behind on the next climb, the Paterberg, and steadily drifted away from the leading pair, who have won six of the last seven stagings of this event.. Pogacar and Van der Poel rode together for nearly 40km before the former put in a race-winning push on the final ride up the Oude Kwaremont.. Having crested the climb with a six-second advantage, the Slovenian world champion pulled away to deny his Dutch rival a record fourth win in the event.. Pogacar has now won all three of his races this season, and if he finishes first in Paris-Roubaix next weekend, he will become just the fourth man to win all five Monuments aft

ICE arrests illegal immigrant accused of kidnapping 4-year-old girl from laundromat

​NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained an illegal immigrant who was released back into the community after allegedly kidnapping a 4-year-old girl from a laundromat in New York, a report said.. The Department of Homeland Security told the New York Post that Carlos Corte-Corte, 38, of Ecuador, was taken into custody by ICE on March 31 and placed into removal proceedings following the March 28 incident at Laundry Kingdom in Patchogue.. “This three-time deported criminal illegal alien, Carlos Corte-Corte, kidnapped an innocent four-year-old girl from a laundromat on Long Island. New York sanctuary politicians chose to release this kidnapper from jail to prey on more innocent children rather than cooperate with ICE law enforcement,” Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis told the newspaper.. “Sanctuary politicians must stop putting politics above public safety,” she reportedly added. “This type of insanity leads to more crimes and more innocent victims.”. ICE IMPERSONATOR BRUTALLY BEATEN BY STREET MOB, DHS SAYS MAN NOT ASSOCIATED WITH AGENCY. The Suffolk County Police Department said that, “While a woman was with her two children at a laundromat, located at 138 East Main St., Carlos-Corte, who was unknown to the woman, led her 4-year-old daughter out the back exit of the laundromat, at 12:08 p.m.” on March 28.. “Her mother reported her missing, and patrol officers responded to the scene, where they reviewed surveillance video and began canvassing the area. During the search, the mother located her daughter in the children’s play area of the Patchogue-Medford Library, located at 54-60 East Main St. A patrol officer then located Corte near the laundromat and took him into custody,” police added.. Corte-Corte was charged with second-degree kidnapping and endangering the welfare of a child, police said.. DHS SLAMS ‘INSANE’ 5-YEAR PLEA DEAL FOR ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS WHO ADMITTED FATAL STABBING IN VIRGINIA. The day after his arrest, a Suffolk County district judge freed Corte-Corte on supervised release with a GPS monitor, the New York Post reported.. The newspaper said Suffolk County District Attorney Ray Tierney disagreed with the judge’s decision and added that, “I think if you look at the facts of the case, clearly they’re concerning.”. “He thought the girl lived alone without parents,” the New York Post quoted Corte-Corte’s public defender as saying in court. “He took her to the library and told an employee there as such, but there was a language barrier. It seems to be a mistake.”. CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APP. Fox News Digital has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for further comment.

Minnesota deny ex-Everton forward Rodriguez has muscle-wasting condition

​Image source, Getty Images. ByElizabeth Botcherby. BBC Sport journalist. 35 minutes ago. Minnesota United have denied rumours that midfielder James Rodriguez is suffering from a potentially life-threatening muscle-wasting condition.. The Colombia international returned to the club’s training ground on Monday after being hospitalised.. Rodriguez, 34, showed signs of illness during Colombia’s 3-1 defeat by France on 29 March and subsequently spent three days in hospital with severe dehydration.. A statement from the Colombia Football Federation on 2 April confirmed Rodriguez was under observation for a “non-sports-related medical condition” but said his prognosis was “favourable”.. Social media rumours and reports in some US media sparked concerns he was suffering from rhabdomyolysis – a rare condition sometimes linked to over-exertion which causes muscles to disintegrate and can lead to potentially fatal kidney damage when toxic muscle fibres enter the circulatory system.. However, Major League Soccer (MLS) side Minnesota United said:, external “The club and our medical professionals can unequivocally state there has been no clinical or laboratory evidence of rhabdomyolysis.”. Rodriguez, who won two Champions Leagues with Real Madrid and also played for Premier League side Everton, participated in a “supervised return-to-activity session” on Monday. His return to full training will be guided by the club’s medical staff.. Rodriguez has made two MLS appearances since joining Minnesota United in February.. Related topics. Major League Soccer.
