ALSAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually lead to their death. When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With all voluntary muscle action affected, patients in the later stages of the disease become totally paralyzed. Yet, through it all, for the vast majority of people, their minds remain unaffected.
Sorry I should have explained what I was looking for properly...
Im not looking for info about this issue.
I have been following sports doping issues for the last 6 or so years and have in excess of 15000 pages of Information at hand.
As 'mate' pointed out this is not solely (or mainly) about football players but as this is a football forum I was looking for oppinions from the football side and have asked elsewhere for the oppinions of fans from other sports.
We are writing an article with regards to doping and especially ALS at the request of a reputable news agency.
We felt it would be nice to Finnish the article with opinions from the fans on the subject, and as such be able to compare the thoughts of fans predominately of different sports.
Rather than thoughts on particular issues we are looking for a general reply to the original question from people with a knowlege of the subject in question.
The subject is far too complicated to address all issues or garner an off the cuff response from those without prior knowlege.
Thank You for your time.

I'm not so informed about this argument, but I have to say that is strange to see that in Italy a lot of soccerplayers get sick or die 4 it... I readed few articles about the question and mostly they accost this "coincidence" with doping.
Do you think that it's related?
Actually I do.... cause it will be naife to think that doping regard just cyclysm, athletic and those kind of sport, it surely regard also soccer, maybe in a lesser way but it does 4 sure.

Didn't Lou Gehrig play Baseball and hold the record for consecutive games played?
I seem to remember Gary Cooper played him in a movie about his life story.
He was the first to be diagnosed with this illness, hence the name.
But this was way back in the time of black and white movies...so I would guess drugs didn't cause his particular problems.

I Haven't heard of that movie before but it is probably about him as it was very long time ago since he played. His good-bye speech is one true classic.
