Quotes

"We do not know the figure behind, but definitely sport makes us aware of this number of nameless people who might be dying due to not known underlying disease. And here in the future we will push the research strongly in support of FIFA to get more information about the underlying pathology from the cardiological part but more important even from the ethnical differences and the genetic predisposition so the research will go very much into the genetics of the sporting people."
