He was a pro footballer, and there are health risks that go with that.
And why is that? I remember thinking when Antonio Puerta died a few years ago, that these guys train hard and work hard at keeping themselves fit. Shouldn't the risk be lower for them?

    As much as they run it causes enlarged hearts which is good for 90 minutes of running but bad after their careers are over.

    They are not keeping fit, they are maximizing their body's physical performance, driving it to the limit. And that's not very healthy at all.
