TIRANA Jordan Whitehead Youth Jersey , July 10 (Xinhua) -- The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) Friday ruled Albania won 3-0 over Serbia in a European Championship qualifying match which was abandoned due to fan riots.
CAS decided that Albania had not refused to play on in a hostile atmosphere in the Serbian capital, Belgrade, in October Alex Cappa Youth Jersey , reversing a former European football's governing body ruling (UEFA).
CAS ruled that Serbia was responsible for the abandonment of the qualifier and had to forfeit the match. Serbia had been awarded a default 3-0 victory by UEFA but then deducted three points and ordered to play its next two qualifiers in an empty stadium.

It's no wonder health testing kits are becoming more and more popular in the UK. But, are home blood, urine and stool tests the silver bullet? Are there pros and cons of using a kit instead of going to a GP? This article hopes to give a balanced view of the pros and cons of self testing for health problems.
Types of Test Pretty much any type of blood Ronald Jones II Youth Jersey , urine or stool test that is available through the NHS is now available online. The most well known self test is a pregnancy test. It uses chemicals on a strip of absorbent material to react with hormones in urine to show quite accurately if you are pregnant. This methodology has been taken a step farther to allow for in-home drug test, urinary tract infections and diabetes tests.

Blood is also commonly analysed in-home, or by being posted to labs to find out things like susceptibility to heart attacks Carlton Davis Youth Jersey , allergies and liver function. Hair and fecal matter can also be tested to find out the different things about our health. DNA testing is also becoming more common online.

Safety Home testing may win over in-surgery testing on this one. Home blood tests contain blood prickers that are sterilised and are guaranteed to be used by you. One small mistake in a surgery could mean contamination. Also, picking the skin to draw blood opens up the body to infection. Nowhere has more
