Being a professional rugby player and getting through Ramadan without any problems is possible. Montpellier third-row Yacouba Camara spoke to Midi Libre about his personal management of the period. He claims to be “used to fasting”: “I take responsibility and do everything with the group as if nothing had happened.”
No zeal though. “If it is a danger to your health, obviously you can break the fast. “It’s out of the question to put your life on the line,” says the 29-year-old. He explains that apart from a slight adjustment to the program granted by Patrice Collazo and the MHR staff, nothing changes for him in his daily life at the club.
