[OFF THE POST] Hundreds of Russian fans are expected to travel to Cardiff for next month’s World Cup qualifier between Wales and Russia despite travel warnings advising Russians not to travel to Britain because of the swine full outbreak. The fans are being urged to take precautions by drinking Welsh whiskey.
“Welsh whiskey is on offer to Russian supporters as a disinfectant,” Alexander Shprygin, head of the national team’s fan club, said Monday. “This will relieve any symptoms.”
The number of swine flu cases in Britain has exceeded 110,000. Only 55 swine flu cases have been confirmed in Russia.
