LA Galaxy’s Beckham plays down asthma revelation
LA Galaxy star David Beckham has played down the asthma revelation that came about after he was photographed using an inhaler recently.
The England international has revealed how has handled asthma throughout his life and that it will not be a problem leading into next year’s World Cup.
“I’ve got a slight case of asthma which I’ve had for years,” Beckham told ITV News.
“It’s never came out (until now) because I’ve had no reason to talk about it, but that’s just me.”
Beckham, who has lived with the condition throughout his extensive career with Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan and the Galaxy, as well as the England national team, says the asthma will not affect him going forward.
“It should be fine,” he added. “I’ve played 65 games a season for the last 20 years, so it doesn’t affect the future.”

I signed up with these guys – http://www.statesidetv.net
Best games are shown on Fox Soccer Channel and Setanta - got fed up with the lack of decent quality P2P streams that were 'here today and gone tomorrow'. I can also watch the Saturday afternoon Premier League games not shown in the UK. I have a SlingCatcher, so I can watch the stream on my 37"LCD TV at a very watchable resolution. Keeps the wife and son quiet too, she gets all her Lost and Desperate Housewives long before they are shown here and he gets all his MLB and NFL games. Saves me forking out for an ESPN/NASN subscription!
he stil remains Becks, model, icon, star, footballer. . u just have to like him. I hope he achieves his quiet dream of being England's most capped player, hope he gets to 121 and beyond
wow, still can involve in such intense sport while carrying asthma with him!! amazing!
