ESPN has a riveting article on the 1970 crash. The crash of one of the team's two planes occurred because of a stupid decision, and we've known that since weeks after the crash. This article is well beyond the ordinary because it takes readers into one family, across the decades. And once again, we learn that like everyone else, top athletes can have genetic defects that kill them at the snap of a finger should they exercise a tad too much or in the wrong way, certainly if they dabble in drugs. And those genes get passed down.

Sometimes it takes decades for the full knowledge to be revealed, not because of cover-up but because many underlying health issues are practically dormant until they strike.
