Anything but Footy - Changes at Nike and Happy Birthday National Lottery

Following the closure of the Nike Oregon Project, Nike CEO Mike Parker has announced he's stepping down, but insists his departure from the role is nothing to do with the fallout of the Alberto Salazar doping ban. We look at what it means for the brand and whether this PR disaster, along with other recent scandals, has meant a need to change the man at the top. The National Lottery is celebrating it's 25th birthday. Through UK Sport, it's National Lottery money which has contributed to Team GB's meteoric rise up the Olympic medal table. We examine the impact of 25 years of investment in sport and ask what next for UK Sport as they continue to back medal prospects but also take on a wider role of looking after athlete welfare and promote inclusion, diversity and participation in grassroots sport. Team GB's bobsleigh men's four will eventually receive their bronze medals at the Team GB Ball after they were re-awarded following the disqualification of two Russian crews at the Sochi 2014 Winter Olympics. We also have news from the London Six Day Cycling, Abu Dhabi Grand Slam Judo and the China Open Para Table Tennis. Plus, tennis, badminton and canoeing.
