It is overtime the EPLand other football leagues in the world should adopt the Italian system of compulsory 6month test inorder to curtail this menance.

i declare the divine touch of the lord on Muamba, wish him a speeedy recovery...we r together in prayers with the Muamba family..may the lord be with u in this unfotunate tym....

They should go for the causes not the symptoms

This is a case where FIFA has to act and do what it has been prepared to do in other less important areas - lay down the law! After the Marc Vivien Foe tragedy there were calls for more stringent health screening of footballers and many fine words from the football authorities; sadly the rhetoric was not matched by deeds. A FIFA mandate is what's needed that requires all associations to provide compulsory bi-annual testing in order for players to be eligible for games within FIFA's jurisdiction. The various regional associations should follow suit, and funding should be set aside to help less wealthy organizations afford the cost of the tests. Domestic leagues should install similar requirements and stipulate that a set percentage of a club's revenue has to be spent on health screening.

I see this as being in the same preemptive bracket as the introduction of crowd safety measures (like the all-seater stadia that resulted from the Hillsborough tragedy in England); and also in the same vein as UEFA's Financial Fair Play regulations which are designed to stop clubs killing themselves with debt.

The players are the industry's raw material and, as such, the game's most prized assets, but they're also young men who should not be put at risk of dying for the cause. Therefore it's incumbent on the game's authorities to protect them by installing regular mandatory screening now!

I really wish muanba speedy recovery. all foot ball fans in the world pray for your return in safe condition as normal.
God bless the doctors who are actively with u through out activities in sake bed. thanks.

With all due respect, the frequency of this happen doesn't warrant the drama of a 'wake-up' call. Would this article have been written had the match not been televised?
Nothing needs to be changed, it just happened. Sure a heart-defect increased the chances of this happening, but how many players have had heart defects and played their careers without incident? I think the visibility of this one case is yielding a bit of overreaction and individuals are sounding off moreso to have attention drawn to their opinion rather than the issue itself.

Was it the Italian system (CONI) that detected Antonio Cassano's heart condition earlier this season?

I wish him the best and sincerely hope that clubs around the world do their best to take care of their players BEFORE crisis strikes. They work hard and need to be monitored.

Prayerful wishes for a speedy recovery and good health to Fabrice.

The writer obviously doesn't know that Fabrice Muamba was given a routine screening for heart defects in August and was checked again on the previous Sunday, with the test producing a "normal" result. The fact is that thanks to English medical staff he has come through. I wonder whether the result would have been similarly successful had the match been in Italy or anywhere else.

Why should sporting bodies be charged with looking after the health of players? Where is the personal responsibility?

This is not a problem we even need to be colncerned about, it is affecting less the 1% of professional sports players. The problem is that he had a heart attack on television, if it had been in the bath then we would not be having this discussion.

Suicide, gambling,domestic violence and sexual offending are greater risks to sports stars yet the minimum level of support is giving to addressing these issues.

Sports stars need to live up to the heroic tags that we place on them and take responsibility for their lives.

Hello CNN!

Please press further! I am 100% sure Muamba had some encounter & message from his near death experience that will can help save many souls in this sinful generation.

Hey people listen up! We are living on a borrowed time. Heaven & Hell is real! Repent now before its too late! Jesus is coming soon!

God saved your life for a purpose, Muamba! Thank Jesus!
