BOTTLED WATER ALLOWED IN FOR ICC CWC 2007 MATCHES
In a move to ensure that all spectators attending ICC Cricket World Cup matches are well hydrated, the CWC Security Directorate and the ICC have approved the bringing of bottled water into match venues, with immediate effect.
However, as a security measure, all bottle tops must be removed at the point of entry into every stadium.
ICC CWC WI 2007 Inc. says this decision was taken with “security and medical considerations in mind and with a view to making sure fans have access to as much water as possible while enjoying the cricket in the Caribbean’s tropical environs. Water will not be permitted in any other types of containers and no liquid other than water will be allowed in plastic bottles.
“This is strictly a health matter and not a question of CWC’s safety and security policies being relaxed. We have been monitoring the weather forecasts throughout the region and the temperatures and humidity are projected to be high.
“The health of all persons at the stadia is of critical importance and keeping well hydrated is a major factor,” noted Dr. Marion Bullock DuCasse, Chair of CWC’s Medical, Health & Anti-Doping Directorate.
CWC 2007, she added, will continue its ongoing assessment of this situation throughout the tournament.
WHAT WAS THE OLD EXPRESSION...IF YOU CAN'T TAKE THE HEAT THEN GET OUT OF THE SUN !!!
WELL DONE TO EVERYONE WHO CAMPAIGNED FOR THE ICC TO BACK DOWN OFF THEIR HIGH HORSES (THEY SAY "assessment of this situation", I SAY BULL).
