Seems to be happening more frequently in athletes. Any thoughts as to why?
Take a look at some of these football players when they enter the league. Julian Edelman, Tom Brady, Kam Chancellor (seahawks) Earl Thomas ( Seahawks). They and at least 1000 others were typical college athletes. They entered the NFL with 12% to 16% bodyfat. They left the NFL at 5% to 9% bodyfat. Hear me out here. I am convinced that Human Growth Hormone-HGH- along with Blood doping has been widely infused into the NFL over the last at least 15 years. When you have these types of programs going on for at least a decade and half, you get quicker and more explosive players. These players have tendencies to experience Achilles tears and cause Achilles Tears.
I do not think it's pure coincidence that the seahawks were able to establish the Legion of Boom. Bay area Laboratory Cooperative (BALCO)after assisting former world record holder Ben Johnson go from a 10.33 to a 9.83 World Record in the 100 meters. Long Story very short, BALCO was busted up. The remnants or principles running BALCO, the key people and scientists relocated to northern California in an obscure out of the way laboratory. The closest NFL teams to BALCO happen to be the 49r's and the Seahawks.
