Rory's New Rep Painstakingly Makes Case For Inevitable Thailand WD...Anonymously

/

Tony Jimenez talks to a member of Rory's new Horizon Sports team, who stopped short of describing Rory McIlroy's bowel movements while laying out the case for the lad's inevitable exhaustion-related WD from next week's Thailand event. Considering McIlroy fired his last manager, perhaps for being a bit too media friendly, Team Horizon is wisely spinning things without attribution.

"Rory has a low white blood cell count and low platelets," a member of Horizon Sports who declined to be identified told Reuters at the Dubai World Championship.

"He has a doctor coming to see him again on Saturday evening and they have just told him to hydrate, take iron and salt tablets and rest.

"We've told the Thailand organisers, they know he's been sick for a few weeks. He wants to play there but I think he'll make a decision tomorrow night," added the source.

Oh and there's one more thing...

"The other problem is when you are run down like that you're more vulnerable to illness ... so if you go to a tropical climate it could be an issue," added the source.

Any other things you'd like to add to the list? Say, this is all Chubby's fault?
