  • Madrid Close In
    PREVIEW ISSUE FOUR – 24TH APRIL 2012 MADRID CLOSE IN REAL TAKE THE SPOILS IN THE EL CLASICO AND CLOSE IN ON THE SILVERWARE After a poor week for both sides in Europe, Real and Barca were desperate to grab a win against their biggest rivals on a dramatic, rain-lashed Saturday night at the Nou Camp. It was Real that grabbed the vital win and probably clinched the La Liga title. Los Merengues went ahead through German midfielders Sami Khedira and were comfortable for long periods, but Barca’s Chilean substitute Alexis Sánchez equalised with just 20 minutes remaining. Cristiano Ronaldo’s clinical strike just three minutes later settled the game with Madrid now seven points clear, with only four games remaining. Madrid coach José Mourinho named an very attacking team and his side began the better. Ronaldo’s early header from a corner brought a superb flying save from goalkeeper Víctor Valdés. His opposite number Iker Casillas was then quickly off his line when full-back Dani Alves dispossessed Sergio Ramos. The game was being played at a fearsome pace and French striker Karim Benzema brought the best out of Valdés again. Barca thought they had gone front when Alves had the ball in the net after a Cristian Tello run, but the youngster had been flagged offside. INSIDE THIS WEEK’S WFW Real’s brave start was rewarded when Pepe’s header from another corner was half- - RESULTS ROUND-UP ON ALL MAJOR stopped by Valdes and Khedira tackled an COMPETITIONS FROM AROUND THE hesitant Carles Puyol to push the ball into the WORLD net to put Madrid ahead.

A16 PAGE A7 Human immunoglobulin IV imported from India Nothing to do with COVID-19 vaccines Further to our lead story on Sunday (11), we have inadvertently termed Human immunoglobulin IV as a vaccine. However, we are in possession of written documents to prove that the drug in question has been imported to Sri Lanka through the Indian firm, Reliance Life Private Limited. Furthermore, in a letter sent to the Sri Lankan agent of this firm, by the NMRA, to obtain advice, to Paediatrician Sounds submit reasons why the import of the said drug should not be suspended within a 28-day period, further proves this. The NMRA had said, in its letter to the agent that during the 4th Generation HIV Antigen and Antibody ELISA Assay tests, the drug had reacted positively to HIV. This is further proved by the letters sent by the Health Services Supply Warning on Zika Virus Director, to Hospital Directors and health authorities on 30 April 2021, on the suspension of a few medicinal drugs from being distributed till the receiving of decision from specialist doctors.
