Ramadan in sport

Many athletes of our environment-Muslim and must comply strictly with their obligations. During Ramadan, Muslims can not eat or drink while the sun is high, so you have to take the hours of darkness to feed and hydrate.

The demands of the sport professional makes that almost impossible obligation to comply, at the risk of having a health problem, many choose to "soften" Ramadan and try to compensate later. This applies to the players of FC Barcelona as Abidal and Touré, two of the three players from the Catalans Muslims. It is true that this can be applied gently to reside in a country where the Muslim faith is a minority, since in their home countries following the Ramadan is verbatim.

Keita is one of the players who will seek to implement to the letter, and we can not forget about other players in the Liga as Luccin, Diarra at Real Madrid or Kanoute, Sevilla's star striker. Moreover, the circumstances of this year, in which Ramadan falls in months demanding because the day is much longer than the night, makes it even more difficult.

However, these players always have examples to follow, like Hakeem Olajuwon, the legendary player from the NBA that always followed to the letter the obligation of Ramadan and never had trouble holding his figure among the 50 best ever in the NBA.
