Still seems very far fetched to me, as Jeff Stelling said on Sunday "It's Dream Team stuff."
Spurs nutritional staff advised chefs at the Marriot on the meals, you would imagine they would also supervise the cooking to ensure everything was cooked correctly.

I think Jol said he doesn't think it was foul play.
I read this but I can't remember where. Probably the newspaper.

Apparently (take this as nothing more than a rumour) the Marriott until 18 months ago, was so worried about the safety of its minced beef that that guests ordering med-rare burgers had to sign a legal disclaimer - which was scrapped after negative publicity.

The same article said that even if the tests proved the food made the players ill, then it would still be difficult to prove that this caused Spurs' losses. Ie difficult.

Just having a look through the paper now to try and find it.
