Prostitutes expected to invade world cup

by

Prostitutes expected to invade world cup Officials warned that up to 40,000 women may head to South Africa around the time of the World Cup this year in order to find work as prostitutes during the festivities.

In anticipation of the sudden influx of prostitutes South Africa has tightened its border procedures and is hoping to help prevent those who want to make money from the fans during the tournament.

Deputy chair of the Central Drug Authority of South Africa, David Bayever, stated that local officials are worried that girls from the area will be encouraged to also head to the streets in an effort to get sex work from tourists in an area where up to 16% of the total population is thought to have HIV.

Bayever continued to say that the problem is a large concern and that organizers of the event are aware of the threat and that the women looking for work and money as sex workers are expected to come from areas located throughout the globe with a large concentration from Eastern Europe.

The problem was discussed at a meeting of the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime and policies designed to limit the amount of women allowed in the country were discussed.

According to Bayever, the UN office has been given assurances that passport control checks will be conducted at the borders on those who look suspicious and that screening methods will be in place.

Officials are also fearful that children may be attracted to sex work while on holiday during the World Cup.

European stadiums can’t help heart attack victims

European stadiums can’t help heart attack victims A new study conducted in Sweden and including 187 football stadiums found that many European football grounds do not have the correct action plans or equipment on the grounds in order to save fans that have a heart attack while in attendance.

According to the results of the poll, more than a quarter of the stadiums accessed do not have emergency plans or the necessary defibrillators.   The survey was carried out by club doctors who stressed that more should be done since it is not always possible to quickly get fans to an ER.

Currently, it is only considered to be advisable to have defibrillators at sporting events but the researchers are pushing for mandatory requirements to be put in place.

In the last few years however authorities across the UK have been attempting to do more to place the life saving pieces of equipment in public areas.

Official medic for GAIS the Swedish club and a member of the European Association of Cardiovascular Prevention and Rehabilitation, Mats Borjesson, stated that every sporting ground should have a supply of defibrillators due to the fact that those that are emotionally engaged in a sporting event are more likely to suffer a heart attack.

Borjesson also noted that given that Europe is where football is the most popular it is quite likely that the situation is even more alarming in other areas.  He also added that planning and procedures also need to be in place so that they could be properly used.

Fears for Ashley Cole as he sends strange text

by

Ashley Cole sent shivers through the spines of his friends after he sent a suicidal text at 3am to each of his friends a few hours after his wife said their marriage was over.

The message simply said ‘Thank You for Everything” and was sent at 3am in the morning to a close knit group of friends all of whom  were immediately concerned sending one rushing over to his mansion in Surrey to check on his condition.

Although he seemed to be in a dark place with a negative state of mind, according to several reports he was ok but his state of mind was in left field with friends stating that Cole is acting like a broken man.

The same source stated that he is not in the best state of mind and is currently like a zombie hiding in silence away from the world.

Fears for Ashley Cole as he sends strange text This is not the first time that fears about his mental status have arose, as he was apparently in a bad state of mind when his soon to be ex-wife, Cheryl Cole, flew to the United States and he begged her not to leave him.

Cheryl was so concerned about his mental state in fact that she agreed not to make a final decision about their marriage until she got back from the States after a week.

Cole was in fact so concerned during this period that he sent Cheryl text messages the entire time promising that they could work it out and begging for a second chance.

Alex Ferguson draws the line,.. At coloured boots

Alex Ferguson draws the line,.. At coloured boots The English football Premier League has not had a good last few weeks with tabloids featuring the indiscretions of many of its star players almost every day.

Although Ashley Cole’s troubled marriage to Cheryl Cole and John Terry’s adulterous affair have been pretty horrible for the football teams, and the fact that Portsmouth is threatened with a wind up order after the financial mismanagement of the bottom club.

However, while the world’s wealthiest sporting team is out searching for a moral compass, Sir Alex Ferguson may be able to help out by taking a strong stand against vivid bright coloured football boots.  According to his new rules, all of the junior players on the Manchester team will have to wear old school black any time they are on club business.

Defender John O’Shea stated that the restrictions are to help the players from being singled out if they are playing poorly and that once a team earns a spot on the first team squad or reserve then they can wear flashy colours.

Although it may seem as if Ferguson’s change is simply cosmetic, the truth is that the collared boot has represented football’s popularity over the last twenty years and its absence in junior players may help restore honour and order to wear it is due.

Before Ferguson’s announcement people were already getting tired of the collared boots with youth team coach of the Queens Park Rangers, Marc Bircham, banning his players from wearing them because of how flashy they look.
