“It means the world to me to be the first refugee team member to win a medal,” Ngamba said. “I’m just human, like any other refugee. There are refugees all around the world.”
Ngamba, 25, was born in Cameroon and moved to the United Kingdom when she was 11. Ngamba, who is gay, cannot return home because homosexuality is outlawed in Cameroon. She now lives in Bolton, a town in Greater Manchester, England, and trains with Great Britain boxing.

Michigan head coach Sherrone Moore could face suspension as sign-stealing scandal looms, NOA says: reports

There is a chance that the reigning college football champions could begin the season without their head coach for the second year in a row.
According to reports, a notice of allegations (NOA) says Michigan’s new head coach, Sherrone Moore, violated NCAA rules related to the investigation into the football program’s sign-stealing scandal.
Moore, who replaced Jim Harbaugh after he went to the Los Angeles Chargers, is reportedly accused of deleting more than 50 text messages with Connor Stalions – the former low-level recruiting staffer who coordinated an off-campus, advanced-scouting operation – around the time the investigation was opened.

The reported NOA says Moore is accused of committing a Level 2 violation; Level 1 is the most serious.
“Our athletic department and university continue to cooperate with the NCAA regarding our ongoing investigation,” Michigan said in a statement to the Associated Press. “We do not have an update to share regarding its status at this time.”
Moore, 38, was promoted from offensive coordinator to head coach when Harbaugh left Michigan for Los Angeles to become coach of the Chargers shortly after leading the Wolverines to their first national title since 1997.
Moore filled in as acting head coach four times last season while Harbaugh served suspensions, winning all four games, including the season finale against rival Ohio State.
Harbaugh has denied any knowledge of impermissible scouting while he was with the program, though he could face Level 1 violations.

Stalions resigned from his role in November, roughly a month after the investigation opened. He was initially suspended with pay by the school. He was an off-field analyst with the football team, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Despite the suspensions and ordeals, Michigan won the College Football Playoff over Washington, 34-13.
Shortly after scoring two touchdowns in the title game, running back Blake Corum (now with the Los Angeles Rams) fought against those who say the title is illegitimate.
“At the end of the day, what else do you want us to prove, man? Whatever came out in the beginning of the season, after that, you say we stole signals,” he said in an interview with Fox News Digital at the time. “We went on the road and beat Penn State, beat Ohio State, beat Iowa, beat Alabama, beat Washington. All of these teams are top 10 in each category, offense and defense. We handled business.”

Michigan begins its title defense on Aug. 31 against Fresno State; they visit Washington in a title game rematch on Oct. 5, as the two are now Big Ten rivals after the dismantling of the Pac-12.

Noah Lyles delivers, wins Olympic men's 100-meter final in photo finish
![Noah Lyles delivers, wins Olympic men's 100-meter final in photo finish Noah Lyles delivers, wins Olympic men's 100-meter final in photo finish](https://ca-times.brightspotcdn.com/dims4/default/822d340/2147483647/strip/true/crop/4522x2374+0+0/resize/1200x630!/quality/75/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcalifornia-times-brightspot.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fa2%2F49%2F007a1d7345eaa1f34886e3d6abaf%2F1470000-sp-olympics-track-001.jpg)
Noah Lyles has made no secret of what he wants out of the 2024 Summer Olympics.
Medals. Gold medals. Three of them.
2024 Paris Summer Olympic Games
The American sprint star took the first step toward that goal on Sunday night, winning the men’s 100 meters at Stade de France by the slimmest of margins. It required video review to confirm Lyles won by five-thousandths of a second over Jamaica’s Kishane Thompson.
Lyles’ time was 9.784 and Thompson had 9.789 to take silver. The photo finish was decided based on when Lyle’s torso crossed the finish, not the sprinters’ feet. American Fred Kerley finished third with a time of 9.81.
This was the closest 100-meter race since at least Moscow in 1980 — or maybe even ever. Back then, Britain’s Allan Wells narrowly beat Silvio Leonard in an era when timing didn’t go down into the thousandths of a second.
Lyles is the first American to win the celebrated race since Justin Gatlin in 2004.
After a disappointing performance three years ago at the Tokyo Games, where he struggled with depression and finished third in his specialty, the 200 meters, Lyles arrived in Paris with a bigger goal — the coveted 100, 200 and 4×100-relay sprint triple — in mind.
“Now, here I am, stronger than before,” he said. “And when Noah Lyles is being Noah Lyles, there is nobody else.”
He will have his next chance to prove it in the 200 on Thursday. The relay is scheduled for Friday.
