Wow,simply fantastic x

That's an amazing tribute, I'm a cynical bugger but that was really moving.

Whenever I hear of professional sports people dying in their sleep, my first thoughts are EPO. It can cause thickness in the blood, leading to arteries being blocked. This apparently led to a number of deaths in cycling.

I once read that some cyclists who took EPO would sometimes wake up in the middle of the night and do press-ups or go on the rollers to improve circulation and then go back to sleep.

EPO and Italian football have a history.
