If your idea of a good time involves heading to foriegn countries to someone who may or may not be an actual doctor so that they can smear placenta fluid on your joints, let me introduce you to your new best friend, Arsenel forward Robin van Persie.
Not Another Ankle-Recovery Placenta Fluid Story...
↵Van Persie is dealing with partially-torn ankle ligaments after a nasty spill that will keep him out of action for six weeks. That is, unless he can get that ankle smothered in some good old-fashion, Balkan placenta fluid.
↵↵“I will fly to the Balkans to meet with a female doctor who helped [PSV Eindhoven midfielder] Danko Lazovic. She is vague about her methods but I know she massages you using fluid from a placenta. I am going to try. It cannot hurt and, if it helps, it helps. I have been in contact with Arsenal physiotherapists and they have let me do it.”
↵↵Is it weird that my first reaction was, “Oh, well at least it’s a female doctor?”
