SportsPro editor-at-large Eoin Connolly and print editor Michael Long reflect on another eventful week in the sports industry: from the world of anti-doping, where Norway's Linda Helleland has announced a WADA presidential after the latest instalment of the Russia saga; to investment, where City Football Group has become a founder of investment fund Sapphire Sports; to soccer, where the Asian Cup has been overshadowed by the plight of Hakeem al-Araibi.
There's also time to look ahead to two big oval-ball events: Super Bowl LIII and the return of rugby union's Six Nations. And Ben Spoont, co-founder and chief executive of Miami Heat-backed esports team Misfits Gaming, explains how he aims to create more physical touchpoints for a mostly digital fanbase.
