The Qatari match between Al Rayyan and Al-Wakrah saw an away player collapse

Yesterday:

The Qatar Stars League match between Al Rayyan and Al-Wakrah was meant to be just another game. The hosts went into the game in eighth in the table while their opponents were sixth. However, few were thinking about that towards the end of the first half.

Just before the break, Al-Wakrah player Ousmane Coulibaly collapsed on the pitch and the players urgently called for medical attention. Play was immediately halted and the medical staff swiftly ran onto the field to revive the footballer

    Or, steroids could be coursing through the veins of every professional athlete. The more probable reason to anyone who knows anything about modern sports.

          How?
          Soccer and tennis dont have heavy steroid use compared to other sports such as wrestling, fighting, cycling etc..

          1. Sara

            Are you joking? Soccer and tennis have massive steroid issues. The problem with them both is that their Professional Associations don’t do doping tests regularly (they don’t want to kill the golden egg). It’s what the Tour De France was twenty years ago.

            @Sara: Are there any cyclist having cardiac arrests?
            I dont think you understand steroid use in completive sports if you think football has higher steroid use compared to other sports.

    It’s getting to the point now where they are going to have to admit that there is an issue.

    The fact that these people are high end athletes in the peak of good health makes it not only more difficult to cover up, but raises stark questions as to what is actually going on.

    Just a coincidence! 10s of high profile sports stars have always collapsed during games

    Trust the science

        1. GiggidyGoo

          I don’t have any. (You’d liked to some at some stage?)

          But in their absence, the month-on-month increase in cases during 2021 should be enough to ring the alarm bells.

          Also – we’re talking about professional athletes. We have no figures on non-professional athletes (such as people who take less-than-professional exercise, and dropping). We won’t get those more than likely.

          1. Doxxy Chainsaw

            So it’s just a number. There could have been 400 in 2019 but nobody cared about middle eastern football league players collapsing back then.

        2. GiggidyGoo

          You obviously missed the ‘But in their absence, the month-on-month increase in cases during 2021 should be enough to ring the alarm bells.’ bit. Unless you’re saying it’s a seasonal thing, these people collapsing.
          Plus – there are lots of nationalities in the 370. UK, USA etc.

          1. Nigel

            If athletes collapsing like this genuinely concerns you, then yes, you should be alarmed. if you think these collapses are caused by the vaccines, you need the numbers from previous years to show whether there’s a correlation.

          2. GiggidyGoo

            I’ve given you the December 2021 figures, and figures for the previous 11 months. When did the vaccines appear?
            Why would previous years figures concern you – those figures are enough, and the athletes named.

          3. Nigel

            If you’re trying to establish correlation with the vaccines the very first thing you need is numbers from years with no vaccines, and that’s just the starting point, since if it did show a correlation you’d have to control for any number of other factors, including covid itself.

          4. GiggidyGoo

            @Nigel.
            Nope. The build-up in the 12 month period is enough to extract information. Or are you, too, saying that this is seasonal (people collapsing) and it happens like that every year. If so, then you produce the figures.

            No of cases by month in 2021. Just a quick scan over the records, so won’t be exact as it’s just that – a quick scan, but gives you an insight. Do a calculation yourself.

            The elderly were first to get jabbed, and that started roughly December 2020. The rollout to the athletic age groups would have started months later. July onwards.

          5. Nigel

            You cannot establish whether it is ‘seasonal’ – and I’m not sure what you mean by that in this context, other than sporting seasons? – or not without using previous years for comparison. There’s very little you can establish based on one year’s figures other than ‘it’s happening.’

            ‘Or are you, too, saying that this is seasonal (people collapsing) and it happens like that every year’

            I’m not saying anything, you’re the one trying to estblish some sort of hypothesis. To do that, you’ll have to produce more than one year’s figures for comparison.

      2. LeopoldGloom

        Atheletes have been collapsing with some regularity for decades.

        The numbers are up on 2020 becuase there was fupp all taking place in 2020. The numbers are higher in 2017-2019 years.

        We’re also not that far removed from a few high profile SAD related deaths in the GAA. Then there’s miklos fehrer, Marc Vivien foe, Fabrice muamba to name but a few very high profile cases of serious collapse or death in athletes.

  6. Nigel

    If you actually made a good faith effort to connect these collapses to the vaccines instead of ‘Just Asking Questions’ I could respect the grift. Its the sheer laziness that gets me, but also how it’s all that’s needed to set off the usual suspects. Unimpressive.

  8. spud

    Is the issue here the vaccine causing the issue, or perhaps are these pro athletes who didn’t take vaccine or got covid (with little or no symptoms) but didn’t realise the damage it may have done them?

    It seems the anti-vax brigade hang onto the former, but there’s probably just as much chance with the latter given apparent high rates of non vaxxed pro sports folk.

    1. PullTheOtherOne

      There is a known virus that causes breathing difficulties spreading across the world for the last two years. Athlete’s have trouble breathing – “iTs ThE vAcCiNe!”

    Odds on Djokovic collapsing at match point in the final?

    Then we can put this whole thing to bed once and for all.

  10. Jon Smoke

    Here, have a look at this

    https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-coronavirus-sport-idUSL1N2SK160

    it is quite clear that it is not a vaccine related issue. There has not been a rise in such cases when compared with pre Covid years. It is just being reported on more.
    For example:

    “CRY also pointed Reuters toward data published in 2008, which showed 12 ‘apparently fit and healthy’ young people (aged 35 and under) die in the United Kingdom every week from previously undiagnosed heart conditions (www.c-r-y.org.uk/statistics/ and here)”

    Now Broadsheet, can you stop posting these stories?

    2. jonjoker

      Did you read to the end of that article?
      It says:
      VERDICT:
      No evidence.

      It doesn’t say FALSE. So while you may be right in thinking it is not caused by the vaccines, you are definitely premature in stating that as a fact.

    3. LeopoldGloom

      Athletes are also cramming more into tighter schedules and deadlines and are not managing their performance data and rest etc the same way as they would have pre 2020 because they’re being given absolutely barny schedules for our entertainment
