"Slovakian Skeleton" enters Wimbleton

She's being called the "Slovakian Skeleton" and officials fear for the health of Daniela Hantuchova as the Wimbledon tennis tournament starts in London tomorrow. The waif-like 20-year- old is the ninth seed, but she may be one of the most-watched players amid widespread speculation she is suffering from anorexia.

This New York Post article cites Hantuchova's claim her weight-loss is due to over-exercise. The Flea is no medical expert but in this lay opinion her image is distressing and disturbing.

I wonder if women who have these eating disorders realize how disgusting they look? There is absolutely nothing sexy about appearing to be a starving citizen of some third world country...
