From Braves phenom Tommy Hanson to half of the New York Yankees, the flu bug has hit Major League Baseball hard. But what could be worse than bringing down the American juggernaut? How about an outbreak at Wimbledon. Four ball boys and girls were asked to stay home after they exhibited flu like symptoms. Wimbledon officials are down playing the scare but could there be a worse time for the swine flu to hit with competitors battling for a spot in the quarterfinals?
Calming fans and participants fears, All England Club spokesman Henry O’Grady had this to say:”
'There's no one that has swine flu,'' O'Grady said. ''There are a couple of people that have flu symptoms, and as a result they've been asked to stay at home. ... They haven't been tested for swine flu, and they're not going to be tested.''
There have been 4,300 confirmed cases of swine flu in Britain.
