Less than a week from the start of competition, and in anticipation of the most competitive Quad ever, former champion Fred Sistrunk is now claiming to be "injured".After completing her telephone diagnosis, Chief Quad Medical Advisor, Dr. Dianne Cooper, said only, "this type of injury (ruptured tendon in right arm) can sideline a player for months....he's really done his homework."
Shortly following the announcement, previously unranked competitor Brian Bilbo appeared for the first time on the Las Vegas boards at 18:1, an indication that oddsmakers have written Sistrunk off for the 2007 competition.
This most recent event adds to the long list of competitors playing with injuries, including Bart Sistrunk (broken toe), Scott Higginbotham (severed finger), Johnny Hipps (damaged retina), and Doug Sistrunk (inflamed ovaries).
