Williams treated for blood clot in lungs” plus 1 more

Serena Williams treated for blood clot in lungs

Posted: 02 Mar 2011 03:35 PM PST


Serena Williams has undergone emergency surgery following the discovery
of a blood clot on her lung.
The Wimbledon champion received treatment for a pulmonary embolism on
Monday and is now recovering at home under medical supervision in Los
Angeles.

"I am doing better,” Williams said in a statement. “I'm at home now and
working with my doctors to keep everything under control. I know I will
be OK, but am praying and hoping this will all be behind me soon.”

Williams’ spokesman Nicole Chabot added that Doctors are continuing to
monitor her situation closely to avoid additional complications.

Williams had attended the Oscars party thrown annually by Elton John
and Vanity Fair for the AIDS Foundation on the night before she was
admitted to hospital.

Her mother, Oracene, has since reassured fans on Twitter: "Thank you
for your concern. She is fine."

Williams has not played competitively since last when she cut her foot
on glass at a restaurant in Germany while celebrating her fourth
Wimbledon title. She had surgery soon after, and was forced to pull out
of the US Open.

Williams resumed practice in September but had further surgery in
October. After another failed attempt to return to the tour, she
terminated her 2010 season early and announced she could not compete at
the Australian Open where she was the two-time defending champion.

"As I recently learned, pushing myself back into my intense training
too early only caused further injury," she said. "It is imperative for
my health that I continue to work with my doctors to ensure my foot
heals."

She subsequently also withdrew from an exhibition event in Oregon on 8
March with Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Maria Sharapova, again
citing her foot injury.

Williams was scheduled to participate in the Sony Ericsson Open in
Miami at the end of this month.

However, tournament director Adam Barrett said she is not expected to
play: "We have not been officially notified about Serena's condition,
but we were concerned about her pulling out even before the emergency
surgery because she has not been training."

Currently ranked No11, Williams is the sixth most successful player in
women’s tennis, with 13 Majors to her name.

She also won a gold medal at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney and has 12
Major doubles titles, earning her more prize money than any other
female athlete.

Ian Bell and Andy Flower back Steven Davies’ decision

Posted: 02 Mar 2011 04:44 AM PST


Ian Bell has voiced his support for England wicketkeeper Steven Davies
after he became the first international cricketer to announce he is gay
earlier this week.
Davies said it was a “massive relief” to have come out but Bell, who
like the rest of his England team-mates were told by the 24-year-old
last year, insists it had no effect whatsoever on the team.

“We knew before the Ashes series,” said Bell. “That didn't change
anything for us. He is a very popular guy in our team. We are all with
him.

“As a guy, he is a fantastic cricketer – and that is what we see him
as. He is a very talented cricketer and the more he plays for England
the better.

“I can't speak for other teams and other sports – but for us as a
group, it didn't affect anything for Steve or any of the other lads.

“It helped him by speaking to the guys, and we just got on with it. We
all supported him through the tour – which could have been very
difficult.”

Davies was a member of the record-breaking England squad who
successfully retained the Ashes in Australia in January but failed to
make the cut for the World Cup squad.

But head coach Andy Flower believes Davies will play an instrumental
part in England's cricketing future.

“I would like to make it very clear that Steve is first and foremost a
very talented cricketer and a valued member of the England set-up,”
said Flower.

“His private life is his own concern and has absolutely no bearing on
his ability to excel at the very highest level of international sport."
