Tommy Haas, a top 10 tennis pro with movie star looks, thought he had a stomach virus when he fell ill in Moscow in September during a Davis Cup semifinal between Germany and Russia. Russia went on to win and faces the U.S. in the final at the end of the month in Portland, Ore.
The Los Angeles Times reported Wednesday that Haas, Germany's top player, may have been poisoned during the Moscow match!
Tommy, who has been in Rio de Janeiro for commercial commitments, says he still feels unwell six weeks after the incident. He was due to fly to New York today for more medical testing.
Haas told the German newspaper Bild: "I'm shocked that something like that appears possible. When I think of how bad I felt, I can imagine it. . . I was the only one ever to order dessert or a latte macchiato after dinner. If all this is true, since no one else got sick, that must have been when it happened."
Stay tuned!!!
