NATO chief falls off bike, fractures shoulder

By IANS,

Brussels : NATO Secretary-general Anders Fogh Rasmussen has fractured his left shoulder after falling off a mountain bike in Brussels.

The 58-year-old Fogh Rasmussen, an avid mountain biker, wrote Monday on his Facebook page that he suffered a “serious fall” and fractured his left shoulder, Xinhua reported.

“Dear friends, mountain-biking is a challenging sport,” Rasmussen wrote.
The fall forced him to cancel a scheduled trip to a few countries.

“My left arm is now in plaster, fixed tightly and not allowed to move. Recovery will take some time and patience. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my trip to Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania this week,” he wrote.
