Campese cleared of swine flu

10 Jun, 2009 02:06 PM
Raiders and NSW five-eighth Terry Campese has been cleared of swine flu and will play against Cronulla at Canberra Stadium on Sunday.

Doctors cleared Campese of the H1N1 virus yesterday morning, allaying fears he had contracted it from the NRL's first confirmed swine flu case, Ben Hannant.

Campese sat next to Queensland and Bulldogs prop Hannant on the Footy Show last Thursday, a day after making his State of Origin debut in Melbourne.

"There's no swine flu at the Raiders," Campese said.

"I was never worried, I showed no symptoms, it was all precautionary and I had to go in and get the test just in case."

Raiders and Queensland statistician Col Bienke remains in quarantine, after coming in direct contact with Hannant last week.

Bienke is yet to learn if he has tested positive to swine flu.

Campese was cleared on the same morning the Brisbane Broncos were forced to cancel a training session and quarantine their entire NRL and Toyota Cup squads, amid fears Queensland star Karmichael Hunt had contracted the virus.
