00:08There's only so much one can take at the highest level.
00:12After two decades at the top, English referee Anthony Taylor has announced his retirement.
00:17Taylor's career included 831 matches, 432 Premier League games, 163 international fixtures,
00:26FIFA World Cup appointments, and more.
00:29Some of his decisions brought criticism, but he seems to have had enough.
00:34Taylor said, officiating at the elite level has been an immense privilege,
00:38but the pressure is intense and the scrutiny is constant.
00:43The time is now right to step aside.
00:47While Taylor has stepped down, President of FIFA Gianni Infantino is also under pressure to leave the job.
00:52La Liga president Javier Tebas has called for Infantino to step down, claiming the world governing body is destroying the
01:01football industry.
01:02In an interview with Italian newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport, external, the head of the Spanish league also criticized World
01:11Cup hydration breaks,
01:12the finals lengthy halftime interval, the postponement of a suspension for United States striker Folaren Bolagan,
01:19and the future possibility of a 64-team summer tournament.
01:24When asked if Infantino should quit, Tebas said, in my opinion, yes, I think his time is up.
01:33And in cycling, Britain's Beth Shriver has become the first BMX racer to win four elite world titles as extreme
01:40weather curtailed the UCI BMX Racing World Championship in Brisbane.
01:45After persistent strong wins delayed the start of the race in Australia, the UCI was forced to abandon the event
01:51and take results from the first round held the previous day.
01:56Thriver, 27, set the fastest lap time in the women's event, which meant she was declared the champion for an
02:02unprecedented fourth time.
