[QUOTE="smartcooky, post: 730528, member: 20605"] Err, the eight or so players who [U]dined out[/U] were fine, its the ones who [U]dined at the hotel where they were staying[/U] who became ill. IMO, if there was any conspiracy, it did not involve SA Rugby. I don't believe for one moment that anyone in the South African team, management or administration had anything to do with what happened. Indian bookmakers are my pick as the culprits; anyone who has been involved with horses, particularly racehorses (and I have) will know that it is not uncommon for them to be nobbled with a compound made from dried elderberry flowers that are crushed to a fine powder in a mortar & pestle. This compound is tasteless and can be dropped into any liquid or food for consumption by the target. It poisons the victim and mimics the all symptoms of gastroenteritis with one exception; there is no biological trace. The more water you drink, the more ill you become. This is exactly what the doctors observed; all the visible symptoms of gastroenteritis, but with the pathology showing no trace of the bacteria that causes it. The symptoms last for 24 to 36 hours after consumption by humans (just a few hours in a horses as they have a faster metabolism) The compound is known as "Indian Trick", due to its frequent use by Asian betting syndicates to nobble cricket players, hockey players and racehorses in the Asian subcontinent.
