Sports heart screening call

British Olympic discuss thrower, Lawrence Okoye, has backed calls for heart screening on young British athletes. It has become apparent that even young, fit athletes can be affected by heart problems, with recent scares for the life of Fabrice Muamba, and the death of Piermario Morosini, both on pitch. Both of these players were unaware of the condition they possessed - which is very likely as 80% of people suffering any heart related conditions are oblivious to what they carry.
