Heart Doctors Ban Football

TABUK: Doctors have advised a football fanatic in Tabuk to give up supporting his team out of fear for his heart.

 

The man in his twenties turned up at hospital complaining of a severe pain in his chest and was immediately placed in intensive care, and when doctors inquired about what might have brought on the sudden deterioration in his health he told them that he had been upset by his soccer team’s exit from a cup competition.

 

He has now been told that his condition “will not withstand such strong pressures” and that he will have to give up pursuing the fortunes of his favorite club or face the consequences.
