From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Mark Bosnich has launched an appeal against the Premier League ruling that he was not unfairly dismissed by Chelsea after his positive drugs test for cocaine.
Mark Bosnich has launched an appeal against the Premier League ruling that he was not unfairly dismissed by Chelsea after his positive drugs test for cocaine.
The 31-year-old Australian goalkeeper notified the League hours before Tuesday night's expiry of the seven-day period he had to appeal after last Tuesday's verdict.
Bosnich, who reportedly claims he failed the drugs test because a drink had been spiked without his knowledge, will have his appeal heard within the next fortnight.
Bosnich, who tested positive for cocaine in November and received treatment for depression at the Priory Clinic in Roehampton, south London, was initially suspended without pay by Chelsea before the club issued a 14-day notice period terminating his contract, insisting he had breached the terms of his employment under Premier League rules.
