Sibierski avoids 3-day medical
Antoine Sibierski turned down a move to Bolton after they asked him to go through a 3-day medical.
Frenchman Sibierski, released by Newcastle, had met Bolton boss Sammy Lee and was due to go to the Reebok on a £24,000-a-week, two-year deal - until the club demanded the lengthy spell in the medical room.
It was standard procedure under former Bolton boss Sam Allardyce, but Sibierski was reluctant to go through the laboured process and promptly agreed identical terms at Wigan - where the medical took a grand total of 20 minutes.
