Food not to blame for Spurs sickness

Tottenham have been told that a stomach virus caused the sickness in their squad ahead of the West Ham game on Sunday.

Scientific tests have shown that there was nothing wrong with the food eaten by the Spurs players at the Marriott Hotel in Canary Wharf - it was just a stomach bug.

Yes but the THFC site says that the HPA have said that the results are also inconsistent - ie Norovirus (which does come from food) was found in some players samples but not others.

This one sounds like it will run and run...

Basically, and I'm not saying that this is what happened, it sounds like someone hasn't been following good hygiene practices :shrug:

Could be one spurs player had a kid with the ****s or something, caught it off the kid and before showing symptoms gave it to the rest of the squad...

Could be anything really seeing as the test results are so inconsistent.

sounds likely, one of the characteristics of the norovirus is that it can survive in the environment for quite a while & be infective, wheras others (like HIV for example) don't live long once away from the host. (just as well)
