So on random, we are talkign about two deaths a year.
With three in Detori and one in Baltimore this month
is above odds.

Taking a quick look at an Italian running website, the arrangements seem
to be as the poster describes, Italian athletes copying their FIDAL
Association membership and Barbarians completing a D.M. 18/202/62 and
28/02/83 (I haven't been able to discover English Language edition.)

That may be the position under law but there is nothing to stop the RD
producing his own custom medical form.

Doesn't this set the RD up for major law suits, assuming one is
allowed to bring legal action?


I'm not convinced that rare heart conditions such as LQTS would be
diagnosed by medical tests, but if you think differently perhaps you
would care to amplify.

I'm more interested in what medical issues are unveiled, running
related or not, with this yearly physical. The ludicrous medical
system we have in the good old USA damn near discourages preventative
medicine. We not only need a some universal coverage but coverage that
encourages preventative and stops treating general practitioners Ugly
Betty.

Who knows finding problems when it tcosts a few hundred to fix rather
a few thousand might pay for most of it. And then, to tie it back to
running, who knows, we may have a few less croaking on a race
course.
