No Sex Before Games, Please, Says Germany Doctor

[Holden McGroin]

ALMANCIL, Portugal (Reuters) - Germany's team doctor has advised players not to have sex shortly before Euro 2004 games and drink plenty of water instead.

The players' wives and partners are staying at a hotel next door to the players' near the Algarve resort of Almancil.

Team doctor Tim Meyer says sex immediately before games should be avoided because of the physical and emotional strain involved.

"I regard sex a few hours before a game as a problem," he told German sports news agency SID.

Meyer said alcohol and cigarettes were obviously not a good idea but said there would be no official controls and such matters were the players' responsibility.

The high temperatures in Portugal meant players had to drink plenty of water, the doctor said.

"Drink, drink, drink" is what the players should do, he said.

 
Bob Beamon claimed that the only time he had sex immediately before a long jump competition was on the eve of his world record-shattering performance at the 1968 Mexico City Olympics.

He shattered the record by 1/2 meter, and the record stood for 23 years.

Think the good doctor is a little behind the curve?
