Diego Fuentes edits Sports for Dateline Wire, covering football, the North American leagues, tennis, motorsport and international competition. His desk treats sport with the same sourcing rules as hard news: transfer stories are labelled by their reporting outlet rather than presented as done deals, scores and statistics are verified against official competition data, and injury news is sourced to clubs or named journalists rather than aggregation accounts. Diego's section specialises in reconciling divergent reporting during transfer windows and major tournaments, when speculation outpaces confirmation — his standing rule is that Dateline Wire reports the state of the reporting, not the state of the rumour.
