Although more people are getting around by bike, cyclists remain the most vulnerable group of road users. Could a range of wearable technologies keep them safer?

In the UK, the number of people killed in cycling accidents is on the rise.

Most serious incidents involve another vehicle and commonly occur when the cyclist is travelling straight ahead and another vehicle turns into it,research suggests.

That's why Emily Brooke, founder of Blaze, says she designed a light that projects an image...

For a man of 64 to reflect on it as "one of the most difficult periods of my life" emphasises how the scourge of match-fixing is a stain that is not easily cleansed.

More than two decades have passed since Arsène Wenger was confronted with the realities of such a scandal – and it was a monster of a scandal that scarred the reputation of the biggest and best-supported club in France, Marseille.

This was not a non-league corruption, it stank at the highest summit. The protagonists were not...

Jonathan Trott has sensationally left England's Ashes tour after only one Test – but England insist his departure is down to a long-term stress related illness, and that he is not running away from the technical problems that have been exposed by Mitchell Johnson, and mocked by David Warner.

"I don't feel it is right that I'm playing knowing that I'm not 100% and I cannot currently operate at the level I have done in the past,” said Trott.

“My priority now is to take a break from cricket so that I can focus on my recovery.

Ross Brawn says Mercedes are learning to cope with the seemingly bizarre behaviour of the team's star driver, Lewis Hamilton.

During Sunday's US Grand Prix Hamilton stunned the Mercedes pitwall by first reacting tetchily to information passed to him by his engineer, and then asking for more input.

When told to look after his tyres he sounded almost like Kimi Raikkonen when he said: "That's what I'm doing man, let me focus."

And then when told to hold off a charge from Nico Hülkenberg he...

England failed to repeat their victory of last year, but they arguably played even better than that day in December 2012 against a New Zealand team that had not been laid low by a virus. The men in white led with 17 minutes to go having been 17-3 down after 17 minutes, but the All Blacks were able to turn their pressure into tries while England, for all the possession they enjoyed, had only one to savour, and that was from close range.

If anyone believed the myth that New Zealand were invincible, the illusion would have been shattered long before the end.

Zahir Belounis, the French professional footballer trapped in Qatar under its controversial labour laws, has written an impassioned plea to the former 2022 World Cup ambassadors Zinedine Zidane and Pep Guardiola asking them to intervene on his behalf. The 33-year-old has not been allowed back to France since June 2012 because he has been embroiled in a legal dispute with his former club al-Jaish, who play in the Qatar Stars League, over two years' unpaid wages.

Under the kafala system that ties employees to their "sponsors", migrant workers cannot leave the Gulf state unless their employer agrees and Belounis has been left in limbo in Doha with his wife and two daughters.
