Landon Donovan Has H1N1 Virus

U.S. soccer star Landon Donovan has tested positive for the H1N1 flu virus.

“I felt something when I got into Miami on Sunday,” Donovan said. “I just felt real bad and finally went to see the doctor. They took a swab from my nose and confirmed it, so that was that.”

Donovan learned of the H1N1 diagnosis on Thursday afternoon, the day after he played 90 minutes in the U.S.’s 2-1 World Cup qualifying loss to Mexico in Mexico City.
