Weekend Sport with Jason Pine

A familiar foe looms as golfer Rory McIlroy's biggest obstacle between the Northern Irishman and a maiden green jacket heading into the final round of the Masters at Augusta. McIlroy carded a third-round six-under par 66, taking him to 12-under overall, as he holds a two-shot lead over LIV golf rival Bryson DeChambeau. It'll be a rematch of last year's US Open showdown, where McIlroy missed two short putts in the final three holes of the event, allowing DeChambeau to snatch a late victory. Graeme Agars joined Piney to recap the action. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former All Whites goalkeeper Jake Gleeson says he contemplated taking his life after prolonged surgeries turned into a battle for survival and forced his early retirement.  In August 2018, while contracted to the Portland Timbers in the United States, Gleeson had surgery to treat stress fractures in both legs. It should have been a routine procedure, but he developed osteomyelitis from an infection. What followed was not only a physical struggle but an emotional descent that would push him to the brink.  Fourteen surgeries later, and nearly five years after Gleeson began legal action, a jury found doctor Richard Edelson guilty of medical negligence for failing to properly disinfect the plates inserted into Gleeson’s legs before the initial operation. Gleeson, now 34, was awarded US$20.4 million (NZ$35.7m) in damages.  What was meant to be a three-month stint on the sidelines turned into a nightmare of medical complications and forced Gleeson to retire, having made 59 appearances for the Timbers and winning eight caps for the All Whites between 2011 and 2014.  The fallout has been brutal for Gleeson, who struggles to complete mundane tasks such as exercising. The mental toll has been equally devastating.  Speaking to Newstalk ZB’s Jason Pine on Weekend Sport, Gleeson says he reached a point where he considered taking his life.  “I’d been prescribed so many opioids, like painkillers and anti-anxiety medication, I filled this pill jar up with enough pills that I know that if I took it all at once it would kill me.  “I drove out a few times to different places around Portland with that. I had that around me for ... a few months and there were some close calls where I thought that that was going to be the day.  “There were points I just didn’t want to live any more. Simple as that.  “But I never went through with it, which I’m happy about. The last few years have been a slow climb out of a very deep, dark hole.”  After his initial surgery, things appeared normal but, after two weeks, an infection on his right leg appeared. Antibiotics initially worked, but the infection worsened and he needed a second operation.  At this point, pus was coming out of the wound and Gleeson was given a PICC line - a type of catheter - that was pumping antibiotics from his leg to an artery near the heart. It was a further two weeks before the plate in his right leg came out.  Days later, problems began in his left leg.  Portland Timbers goalkeeper Jake Gleeson shows his disappointment after the the 4-1 loss against Real Salt Lake in 2017. Photo / Getty Images  “I saw that same redness, same warmth, same everything that was a sign of infection, and they pulled that plate out straight away.  “Because I developed osteomyelitis in my right leg, essentially the infection had travelled through my blood and settled on the foreign hardware on my left leg.  “If they had just removed the plate on the first surgery, or even checked the underside of it to know that that’s where the infection was, we could have avoided a lot more of the surgeries that I went through.”  Gleeson had another appointment with Edelson, who was pleased with the recovery of the left leg, but problems were still occurring with the right.  Despite raising concerns, Gleeson was told “it’s just bad blood flow, the wound will heal and you’re fine”.  An angry Gleeson consulted another team doctor and was immediately rushed to hospital, where he had three surgeries in five days to clear the osteomyelitis and dead bone.  “They had to go in and chunk out parts of my bone and there was dead tissue in there,” he recalls.  “My body had gone septic and I had a 40-degree temperature, cuddling a bag of ice on my couch with all this medicine still coursing through me every week.”  It was at this point that he found out Edelson had not properly sanitised an orthopaedic plate, after realising he was missing one and bringing one in from an outside facility during the surgery.  As Gleeson improved after working with a new doctor, he opted to have metal rods inserted into both legs in February 2019 in an effort to save his career.  He had four more operations but the rod in his right leg became immediately infected. Three weeks later, doctors said the rods had to come out.  In July 2020, Gleeson formally began legal action. Finally, on March 29, a Multnomah County jury in Portland agreed that Edelson had violated his duty of care and awarded NZ$35.7m to Gleeson.  “This is the first step and, once again, a very long path,” says Gleeson.  “I don’t think it’s sunk in yet. I’m very tired still.  “The money is a bonus once we figure out what it all looks like, because I’m not currently sitting with a huge cheque in my account.  “Once it settles and is confirmed, I’ve already started conversations with some local groups around here to highlight this, an

Racing experts and fans alike have reacted with shock after Liam Lawson was recently axed from Red Bull's senior Formula 1 team. Yuki Tsunoda has been promoted from Racing Bulls in place of the Kiwi ahead of next week's Japanese Grand Prix. Toyota Racing Series founder Barrie Thomlinson joined Piney to discuss.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What Red Bull have done to Liam Lawson is an absolute disgrace. He's been given an opportunity to be the second driver in their team and has been given absolutely no support whatsoever - and now he's been demoted and Yuki Tsunoda's been given the seat. You won't convince me Yuki Tsunoda is a better driver than Liam Lawson. Lawson was put in there for a number of reasons, one of which is his mental resilience, and he's going to need all of that now as he tries to recover from this. In many ways, the pressure comes off a bit as he goes into the Racing Bulls team, but Yuki Tsunoda isn't going to be able to drive a car that is specifically set up for Max Verstappen any better than Liam Lawson can. Lawson had 2 races on unfamiliar tracks, one of which was in the pouring rain in Melbourne. It's too small a sample size for his driving to be accurately assessed. We're about to get to Japan, a track he knows, and they've taken the keys off him. Liam Lawson will now recuperate and no doubt drive well for Racing Bulls - but it paints Red Bull in an absolutely terrible light. Yes, they are a massive, results-driven organisation. But they have been utterly negligent in their duty of care. This is where we've now reached in such a landscape of instant gratification, we have lost any ability to be patient. Imagine if you opened a new restaurant and after a couple of nights, you didn't get the tables as full as you want, so you sacked the chef. Things take time. You cannot simply say, OK, well, he's had a couple of races, he hasn't done the job, we're dropping him. Mark Webber was on the radio with me last week. In the first seven years of his Grand Prix career, he made the podium twice. In the next five years, he made the podium 40 times. 40. It takes time. Red Bull have been shown to have absolutely no patience. I know they're under pressure, but we've lost the ability across a lot of elite sport to hover above things and say - actually it's gonna take a little bit of time. Imagine if we got rid of Graham Henry after the 2007 Rugby World Cup - we never would have had 2011. The same goes for Phoenix coach Giancarlo Italiano - they're calling for his head. And a year ago, he was top of the pops, having guided the 'Nix to their best ever finish. This drive for instant results is hurting players, drivers, coaches and everybody associated with elite sport, because those in charge simply can't see past the end of next week.
