Jocks will be jocks. In an Australian newspaper today:
David Beckham was fooled into bathing in Evian on a trip to Russia after he was told the tap water would turn him bald.
Fellow soccer stars Ryan Giggs and Gary and Phil Neville also fell for the wind-up after Manchester United's then-assistant manager Brian Kidd said the water was contaminated by the Chernobyl nuclear disaster.
The joke was played on Becks and his fellow ex-United stars on a trip to Russia for a UEFA Cup tie agaist Rotor Volgograd in 1995.
Club Official Ian Dunwoody said: "It costs thousands of pounds in water."
No kidding.
