Italian Soccer Team Napoli Bans Sex 2 days Before Game to Prevent Injury!

Napoli players will be the face of abstinence 2 days before their games (at least).

Napoli's doctor has issued a mandate to protect his players by prohibiting sexual activity within 2 days of match day. The ban is said to be an attempt to keep players "out of harm’s way." Instead of spending a long, steamy night having career ending sex in dangerous positions like headlong or In the maelstrom of head, players are encouraged to relax and do something less strenuous on the body.


Speaking to newspaper Corriere del Mezzogiorno, Napoli team doctor Alfonso De Nicola asserted:

"Avoiding sexual activity for two days before a game is fundamental to prevent muscular strains, contractions or inflammations..."

"It is the rule for our squad. There is also a specific work done by my staff and the fitness coaches which is aimed more at prevention than cure..."

"The alarm bells for an injury can go off at any time and a signal has to be immediate, just as the consultation is very quickly organized..."

"The players must be praised for the professional approach they take in their private lives too. They must always continue certain exercises at home that are taught in the training camp..."

"For example, an alteration in posture can create an anomaly in their movements. There are simple rules to follow even when they are not training..."

"If a player has a muscle that tends to contract, he must perform movements that tend to stretch it at any time of the day..."

In fairness, these types of rules are fairly normal in professional sports but citing "injury prevention" as a reason is a more rare and perhaps comical reason for such.
