When spitting at your opponent becomes a diplomatic
incident.
Chivas defender Hector Reynoso has been suspended from the Copa
Libertadores tournament after telling an opponent he had swine flu
and attempting to ‘infect’ him with the virus. The Mexican is
reported to have admitted to being infected with the piggy sniffles
before he coughed and fired a fine volley of snot in the face of
Sebastian Penco, of Chilean opponents Everton (not that
Everton).
Reynoso was allegedly responding to some jibes about Mexico
being the source of the scaremongers’ current disease of choice,
but has apologised for his actions.
