Lankan President offers spiritual healer help to Beckham

Colombo, Mar 27 (AFP): Sri Lanka’s president has offered the services of his spiritual healer and personal physician to help injured footballer David Beckham get back on the field within three days.

Eliyantha Lindsay White, 37, President Mahinda Rajapakse’s personal physician, told AFP that the former England captain had been invited for treatment involving “faith and ayurveda.”

An official at the president’s office said it had sent an invitation to Beckham to visit the island for traditional treatment after a string of Indian sports stars claimed they were helped by White.

“I am ready to treat him,” White said. “His condition can be easily treated and within three days he will be able to go back to playing.”

Doctors have ruled out Beckham playing for several months after the player ruptured his Achilles tendon earlier this month.

“His case is simple. I can treat him.”
