The latest pro-athlete in the news to receive acupuncture is Swedish soccer player Zlatan Ibrahimovic.  He was treated over the weekend for a swollen knee, in preparation for Euro 2008 this week.  I think we're approaching the day when it won't be news that an athlete is getting acupuncture, since nowadays it seems more common than not.  I think it should only be news if a player ISN'T getting acupuncture for a sports injury!
