Malaria hits Nigerian athlete

Via The Sydney Morning Herald, excerpt :

" A member of the Nigerian table tennis team has been struck down with malaria at the Commonwealth Games.

Ekundayo Nasiru was forced to withdraw from the men's team and singles competition on Saturday and the men's doubles competition beginning on Sunday.

Nigeria struggled without Nasiru and was defeated 3-0 by India in the men's team competition bronze medal play-off at the Yamuna Sports Complex, with the team's Games campaign jeopardised by the illness."
