‘DID you know that Sri Lanka doesn’t have a national handball team? Well, they don’t.

But the news has come too late for German taxpayers who funded the team’s trip to their country as part of a sports exchange programme.

Suspicions were aroused when the Sri Lankans failed to register a point against their first amateur opponents.

The group left a note saying they were headed to France, though border officials later recalled waving them through to Italy.’
