Our Reporters

We only achieve success through the hard work and dedication of our reporters.

In the past five years Sportsbeat/News Associates reporters have broken some of the biggest sports news stories. We revealed that Wembley’s Twin Towers were to be destroyed as part of the stadium’s redevelopment, exposed the shame of sports coaches implicated in doping scandals in East Germany, revealed corruption at the heart of the International Olympic Committee and reported internal frictions at the English Football Association.

Managing Editor James Toney is also our chief writer and columnist.  His coverage of the Tour de France and Formula One earned him recent nominations and recommendations at the Press Gazette Press Awards and Sports Journalists’ Association Writers’ Awards.

Well connected with sources at FIFA, football’s world governing body, and the International Olympic Committee, he is a regular contributor to radio and television.
 
His colour writing and columns appear every week in UK newspapers and magazines and are syndicated – and even translated - to clients around the world.
