That has to be one of the stupidest things I have ever read. This means ALL athletes are at risk of death. Talk about bogus statistics. However, it still isn't as stupid as some of the posts here and THAT says something!  :-X

We live in a world of lunatics. The sad thing is that they are running the world.

It's great for the pocketbooks of the fear mongering doctors.

I don't know what doctors have to gain from this.

They'll probably start developing pills that make you weaker.

And I don't mind the sudden death stuff, that's the most exciting part of the hockey game.

"...new evidence that lifting more than half your body weight could put you at risk of sudden death. A problem and a tragedy arises in the fact that it's uncommon for physicians to think of this condition in healthy young athletes."

hmm..... maybe if you drop the weight on top of your head.....

"Of the 31 patients," says Elefteriades, "10 of them are dead."

people will believe anything with fancy enough words. The ACE Training certification book says people who train should eat 12% protein.

Yes but the basic premise of the article is that YOU could be one of the lucky 31! And not even know it. So you'd better start panicking now and head to your local doctor for an MRI, CAT Scan, and whatever other ultra-expensive test(s) he/she recommends.

LOL  ;D
