All the good
Diseases exist and affect people from all walks of life, each of us would have a story to tell if they wanted to.
But being a sportsman,
frequented at every level, when a sports character runs into some more or less lethal disease I pay more attention to it, perhaps making a mistake.
I was struck to see Signorini and Borgonovo affected by Lou Ghering's syndrome slowly fade away, two athletes
physically imposing, especially the first, reduced on a wheelchair to breathe from a tube.
I do not know if you have seen the interview made to Gianluca Vialli by Cattelan, the ex Dorian struck by a very insidious tumor in the
pancreas said clearly that he does not know how long he will have to live and that every day he wants to live it fully
lungs giving importance to the really right things in life, without wasting time, which perhaps does not abound, in bullshit.
Yesterday I read about the new stop that Sinisa Mihailovic will have to take for the possible recurrence of leukemia even if
compared to the first time it seems that the situation is better.
We had Sinisa at Toro, a rock from every point of view, a proud and very badass Serbian who has always led a life as an athlete and who now finds himself having to fight to keep that life for as long as possible.
There are countless cases of sportsmen who died prematurely from cardiac arrest, from the basketball player Vendremini, to the volleyball player Bovolenta to the footballer Astori and many others.
Clearly we are talking about people who push their physique to the limit as today's sport requires, someone also whispers the use and abuse of certain drugs during a career can then become
lethal at the end of the career itself.
The untimely death, in unclear circumstances, of the world record holder of the 100 Griffith-Jorner with an incredible 10'49, a time to which no woman subsequently even came close,
has aroused endless suspicions which, perhaps, are not entirely far-fetched.
We really hope all the best possible for Vialli and Sinisa.
