“Mostly I know my mom and the fact that she doesn’t want to be in front of the cameras at all, same thing for my dad. I expected a firm no and it came, so all good 😊”
However, investigators believe the results were caused by contaminated meat consumed during the squad's stay in Mexico rather than intentional use of the banned substance.
No further action is currently expected against the players, although their clubs have been informed.

“I’m really biased so I’m really happy it’s in the U.S… As an American player… I think it’s cool. It’s gonna be weird being at Indian Wells in November. I’m very curious if we’re gonna be playing in the day, night.. I hope day because I feel like it’s gonna be a little chilly at night. Obviously I had a great memory in Saudi playing and winning my title there two years ago. We had a warm reception from them. It was really cool just to bring.. I think it was the first women’s professional tennis event being held there. So it was really cool to bring our sport to a different demographic who hasn’t experienced it before. Obviously biased 😂, it’s cool to have it in the states. But I’d definitely like to see a more permanent home for it. I don’t know how long it’s gonna be at Indian Wells. I’m assuming just this year. Hopefully eventually we can find, wherever it is, a more permanent home.” ❤️

Back in 2016, while playing for Bryne FK’s youth team, a 16-year-old Haaland teamed up with Norway youth teammates Erik Botheim and Erik Tobias Sandberg to form a rap group called Flow Kingz. Their song, “Kygo Jo,” was created simply because they were bored during a national team training camp.
Using the rap name “Ling,” a teenage Haaland can be seen dancing in a children’s play area, messing around on a volleyball court, and even pretending to grill burgers in the music video. It was never meant to be anything serious—just friends having fun.
Years later, after Haaland became a global football superstar, fans rediscovered the video, turning it into an internet sensation. The music video has now surpassed 16 million YouTube views and continues to resurface across social media as one of football’s funniest throwbacks.
Haaland has always laughed about his brief rap career, joking that he “started playing football just to boost his music career.” He has even hinted that he could release another track with a major producer once he retires from football. Despite focusing on football, he remains a huge music fan and is often seen enjoying electronic and house music in the dressing room.
HINCHCLIFFE: “Have you caught up with the WNBA? Who’s the girl that’s pointing at everybody?”
ROGAN: “Yeah that’s Sophie Cunningham. I noticed in this league the fouls are insane. These b*tches throw each other to the ground.”
HINCHCLIFFE: “They’re wild.”
ROGAN: “They will literally try to poke each other in the eyes. It’s crazy.”
HINCHCLIFFE: “It’s nuts.”
ROGAN: “They also travel non stop. They will take 5 steps without dribbling and nobody calls them on it 😂😂😂”
He just won the 3rd set and is leading 2 sets to 1.
They start closing the roof and the match is delayed.
He asks the umpire why they couldn’t close the roof while they were playing during the set.
Grigor: “We knew that we’re not gonna finish the match. Just a question, why didn’t we start closing the roof during the set?”
Grigor: “Now it’s like a similar issue to last year. My point is that if you see that you know it’s not gonna finish, it doesn’t harm both of the players to start closing the roof, right?”
“During play? They always do it like this…”
Grigor: “Why don’t we let the players decide on that?”
“That’s the rules here. I don’t know. We can ask the referee. I know that here the procedure is…”
Grigor. “It’s like Déjà vu. From last year it was the same thing. When I was on Centre, we knew it was not gonna finish, and we kept on having the court open.”
“So we can keep playing, right?”
Grigor: “So we can keep playing. But while it’s closing I don’t think it’s gonna harm us while both of the players are agreeing to that, to play. Instead of having to be closed for let’s say 4 to 5 minutes, we have 10 to 12 to whatever minutes. I personally completely disagree with that. Not saying it’s your fault. But I think it’s worth to bring it up…”
“Yeah… Sure.”
Grigor: “Because I don’t think it’s fair for both players. I just feel like, you’re warm, everything is good. Now in 10 minutes we need to come back and hit some balls and start serving again at 124 mph.”
