Sunday's Sports Court on Sporting News Radio

For those interested in excellent sports law discussion on the radio, Sports Court, a weekly show hosted by attorneys David Frank and Scott Gilefsky of 1510 The Zone Sporting News Radio Boston, has a terrific program scheduled for Sunday tonight (7 PM to 9 PM Eastern Standard Time).

The guests are especially good this week (with all due respect to myself and others who have previously appeared on the show):


* WBA heavy-weight boxing champion John Ruiz during the 7 o'clock hour. He will discuss the civil lawsuit he filed in federal court this week against James Toney in the wake of Toney testing positive for steroids after their fight this past spring. The suit seeks $10 million because Toney tested positive for the steroid Nandrolone after beating Ruiz for the WBA title April 30 at Madison Square Garden. Even though he got his title back, Ruiz believes his marketability and stature as a fighter were damaged by losing. It appears that this is a first of its kind lawsuit.

* Bob Ryan, columnist for the Boston Globe during the 8 o'clock hour. He will discuss the Theo Epstein/Larry Lucchino saga. Ryan asked some very difficult questions of both Epstein and Red Sox owner John Henry during Epstein's farewell press conference, and he has been very outspoken on the topic.

Sports Court can be heard live at this link from 7 PM to 9 PM on Sunday night. It should be another great show. I know I'll be listening.
