Alexander Dale Oen, Norweigian swimming champion, has died of a cardiac arrest. What is it with heart problems in sports people recently?

Recently, we have had footballer Fabrice Muamba, who very nearly died. Then Italian footballer Morosini, who did die a couple of weeks ago. Then Claire Squires, a seemingly fit person running the London marathon who died last week.

Just goes to show, it doesn't matter how healthy you are, if you're numbers up, it's up .

Flavour of the month. Newsreaders with epilepsy then athletes with heart problems. It's manufactured news.

I'd hardly call it 'manufactured news' these people have died. Some press coverage may over hype it, but the fact remains.
