Commonwealth games

It was a trip to India that ended my hopes of becoming a professional rugby player. If I were a young athlete now, I wouldn’t go unless the team has its own kitchen staff, its own cleaning staff and its own food supplies shipped in from Dubai or some other developed place. Serious; India’s got a lot of wonderful things, but with that level of hygiene it’s not a good place for athletes.

A number of athletes have pulled out stating 'security concerns', but in reality I think they're scared of getting food poisoning.

The gymnastics could be fun then. The athletes could be leaving trails like the Red Arrows.

Scary stuff.

I lost nearly 4 stone in a couple of months due to a combination of amoebic dyssentry and giardiasis, which started after a meal in a 5 star hotel. Took me nearly 2 years to get fit again, by which stage no top club was interested any more. Bring me that chef (no, not you, chef) and I’ll kick the bloody tulip out of him. Well actually I won’t; it might be a public health hazard.

Once again people have unrealistic expectations in the globalised world. They are going to have to set their sights lower if they will to compete with the Indians and Chinese.

Becaue you can be sure that the buyers will.
