    Adam Peaty has criticised Olympic authorities after China won gold in the 4x100m medley relay race.

    China Anti-Doping Agency said they were not stopped from competing as they had unintentionally ingested a banned substance.

    Peaty said the decision to allow them to compete was “a joke”.

    Manu is one of those dogs who never gets tired of playing catch. Lucky for him, 9-year-old Theo Avila also has boundless energy.
