100% agree! I'd be more concerned at verts crowdsurfing which he has far more control over! But people forget players are people however much they are paid and if u gave any player 2million extra a week if doesn't mean they become messi! It's not football manager unfortunately!

Re: Official - BAE
The risk to an expensive footballer is higher so the care taken should be proportionally higher.
As someone who's spent more than half of their life donating to one anti-malaria charity or another and who regularly receives and reads their literature, I suspect I know far more about it than a layman.
I'll ask you the same questions I did the other poster:
Did you get under a net before dusk and stay there until after dawn every night? How certain are you that you skin was completely covered with repellant? Did you wear long sleeves, trousers and socks? Did you have citronella candles burning in your room? Etc.
If Ade were ill enough to affect his football ability long-term, I suspect our insurers would ask the same questions as me and probably come to the same conclusions.
Surely it's just a risk/benefit calculation. I'm sure you and those you know weren't as careful as is possible because the cost is comparatively small (assuming you have access to medical care).

I first came across it in Simon Reeve's excellent book Tropic of Capricorn, but some examples from the web:
About half way down this National Geographic article: http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/print/2007/07/malaria/finkel-text
And here's an article with some references: http://rdparasites.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/malaria-killed-half-people-who-have.html

Scara, if you lived in an region that had an average temperature of over 80F would you wear long sleeves, trousers and socks? Now remind me, what point are you trying to make exactly?

One of us is getting our centigrade and Fahrenheit mixed up, and I think it is you
Wow, 80 degrees Fahrenheit - that's almost 300 degrees Kelvin!

Maybe I was a bit disingenuous, average temp was nearer 76F

As for the second, that's part of the minimum recommended precautions to avoid Malaria. Yes it's hot, yes it's uncomfortable - that's one of many things to take into account when deciding whether or not to visit a region.
Sorry, don't understand your first post.

Re: Official - BAE
Obviously that is a stupid recommendation? If you are West African you do not have a choice. Have you lived in a tropical climate before? Your questions just seem unreasonable and that is me being polite

No, I haven't and I wouldn't if such risks are requirements of doing so.
This isn't my advice, it's that of charities and the NHS.

Re: Official - BAE
Sacra, where I lived in Nigeria the following is the average temp from Jan - Dec in Fahrenheit
81.1 83.8 83.7 82.6 81.1 79.3 77.9 77.7 78.4 79.5 81.1 80.6
It actually averages out at 80.6 not 76F

Re: Official - BAE
how's that ignorance?
surely the whole point of cultivating a comfort zone is you don't have to leave it
every professional has an obligation to their employers to stay able to do their job

Re: Official - BAE
Maybe Ade feels more comfortable at home in Africa with his family, and remember unlike many Brits I know family is not restricted to mum, dad, siblings and children

Re: Official - BAE
Agreed. Besides, the long-term side-effects of anti-malaria drugs are said to be terrible. It's ridiculous to slate Ade for this. I remember Zokora got malaria too, none of this came up. I feel sorry for him and hope he gets better soon. As for the whole Ade/family thing, I agree with those who say some don't understand what it is for him. He is probably one of Togo's national figures, and as such, I'll bet his family responsibilities are not inconsiderable...
