The British Horseracing Authority will make strong representations in favour of exempting racing coverage from any possible restrictions on television advertising for bookmakers. A report in The Times this morning suggests that the Government could prohibit gaming firms from advertising on daytime television due to concerns about the influence such commercials have on young people and their likelihood of developing a serious gambling problem in the future.A review into fixed-odds betting terminals is reportedly set to be extended to include gambling advertisements, which are currently permitted before the 9pm watershed provided it is for bingo or during breaks in live sporting events. Officials at the BHA are eager to the see the full details of the planned review, which have not yet been confirmed, but they would mount a strong defence of racings need to be exempted from any ban.BHA media manager Robin Mounsey said: The Government hasnt yet launched its review so we first need to await details of the consultation and any proposals arising.However, it is likely that as part of any consultation that racing would be united in making strong representations for an exemption for horseracing content.These representations would be based around racings obvious interdependence with betting compared to other sports, and the nature of its TV coverage.A review of gambling advertising concluded last year with a result that the industry toughened up its code concerning the subject, while the Department of Culture, Media and Sport also indicated the role of social media would come under scrutiny in the future.Given the recent nature of that review, Ladbrokes director of media David Williams admits another assessment so soon after the last would be a surprise.Williams, in a view echoed by the Remote Gambling Association, an online gambling trade association of which Ladbrokes is a member, said: A thorough review of gambling advertising was undertaken at the request of the Secretary of State at DCMS and was concluded last year.As such it would be unexpected and unusual to commission another widespread review and expect a different outcome.We would, nonetheless, cooperate fully with any review if and when the government confirms its intentions.

The recently retired Stern was elected Friday to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and will be enshrined with the class of 2014 on Aug. 8 in Springfield, Mass. Stern was on a ski trip to Colorado on Friday with his wife while the NBA was holding its first All-Star weekend without him in charge since 1983. New Commissioner Adam Silver and many other league employees who worked under Stern attended the press conference. "I wanted to be here for David because I knew he wasnt in New Orleans this weekend. Just to be here to share the experience and then relay it back to him what the feel in the room was," said Silver, who worked under Stern since 1992. "As I said earlier, while David is a modest guy, I know he was moved by the fact this was all happening so quickly, and he has always told me he doesnt like to reflect back sort of on his life or his career, but this will certainly force him to. And I know this is an emotional moment for him and its an emotional moment for everybody who has worked with him over these years." Alonzo Mourning, Tim Hardaway, Mitch Richmond, Kevin Johnson and Spencer Haywood are hoping to be part of the class.dddddddddddd They were chosen as finalists, with the full class to be unveiled April 7 during the NCAA Final Four. Hardaway and Richmond were teammates in Golden State and made up the Warriors "Run TMC" trio along with Chris Mullin, who was elected to the Hall in 2011. Stern retired on Feb. 1 after exactly 30 years as commissioner, during which he brought the league to its greatest success. Jerry Colangelo, chairman of the Hall of Fame board, said the Hall hopes to have a special spot to display a tribute to Stern. "He deserves to be recognized in a huge way," Colangelo said. Stern was elected by the contributors committee. Also directly elected to the Hall of Fame were Lithuania star Sarunas Marciulionis by the international committee, former Indiana Pacers coach Bob "Slick" Leonard by the ABA committee, former New York Knicks player Nat "Sweetwater" Clifton by the early African-American pioneers committee, and former Temple star Guy Rodgers by the veterans committee. College coaches Eddie Sutton, Nolan Richardson and Gary Williams were also finalists, as were former womens coach Harley Redin and the womens team from Immaculata College, which won three straight national championships.
