soccer players' fitness not letter-perfect

from some wire service...

"soccer players, who run all game, often claim to be the fittest athletes in sports. maybe not, according to a review of the game's injuries by bloomberg news.

french goalkeeper lionel letizi injured himself playing scrabble. he pulled muscles in his back when he picked up a letter that had fallen to the floor. club officials declined to say which letter.

spain's santiago canizares missed the world cup after dropping a bottle of aftershave on his foot, damaging a tendon.

england's goalkeepers, david seaman, needed surgery after hurting himself stretching for the remote control while watching an episode of a u.k. soap, 'coronation story'.

rio fernandez, the game's most expensive defender, missed a game last year after straining a foot tendon while watching television.

back to the gym boys."
