McEwen down with chronic sinusitis

After undergoing blood testing, Davitamon-Lotto's Robbie McEwen has been told that the illness he is suffering from is chronic sinusitis, not a viral infection. The treatment of his condition involves a ten-day cure with antibiotics and a possible irrigation of the sinuses. The Australian sprinter could be back to competition by April 13 for the Scheldeprijs Vlaanderen in Belgium.
