Yao Ming back in China to see the doc

Houston Rockets centre Yao Ming is back in China to consult with traditional Chinese medicine practitioners over his foot injury, AP says, and the prospect of his absence is "sparking a panic" in China. Even without him, Yao says China will finish in twelfth position in the worst case scenario. Also, he is expected to be one of the torch-bearers when the Games finally open this August, but for now Yao can't get anywhere without his crutches.
