Top 10 World Sports News Events In 2025

Italian tennis star Jannik Sinner became the center of a global doping debate after the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) announced a three-month ban on February 15. Sinner had tested positive twice in March 2024 for prohibited substance clostebol. Although the International Tennis Integrity Agency initially ruled that he bore "no fault or negligence," WADA appealed before ultimately reaching a settlement with the player. The sanction drew criticism from several fellow players, who argued it was too lenient, while WADA emphasized transparency and pointed to a rise in contamination-related cases across sports. This file photo taken on May 10, 2025 shows Jannik Sinner reacting before the men's singles round of 64 match between Jannik Sinner of Italy and Mariano Navone of Argentina at the ATP Italian Open in Rome, Italy.

Flash Flood Aftermath In Aceh Tamiang - Indonesia

On December 14, 2025, in Aceh Tamiang, Aceh, Indonesia, the phrase "The Heart of the World is Bleeding" aptly encapsulates the aftermath of the flash floods that occurred during this period. In the wake of the devastation, residents gathered tree trunks that had been uprooted and displaced from the Leuser Ecosystem, a consequence of Tropical Cyclone Senyar that may be characterised as a "dark harvest." Rudi Putra, the founder of the Leuser Conservation Forum, articulated that the magnitude of this devastation transcends a typical natural disaster; it serves as a poignant indicator of the deterioration of our natural defences against the global climate crisis.

US: Major Power Outage Leaves Thousands in Dark in San Francisco 5

A major power outage hit San Francisco on Saturday evening, December 20, at its peak affecting about 124,000 customers. Power was gradually restored, reducing the number of affected customers to around 24,000 by early Sunday morning. Large parts of the northern and western areas of the city were left in darkness, forcing store and transit closures and suspending Waymo’s driverless taxi service. The cause remains unclear, though a fire at a PG&E substation may have contributed, and the outage also disrupted public transportation and communications.
