Doping?

Is doping a likely cause? Just asking. https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/full/10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.116.022535 128.76.247.189 (talk) 05:22, 13 June 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for the journal reference. I've added it to the article with a summary sentence: "...evidence has been inconclusive..." —24.191.101.223 (talk) 09:30, 8 August 2021 (UTC)

Table

The breakdown of causes is nonsense and needs to be replaced. The text introducing it says that it is based on a study of 12 cases. That means that all percentages must be integral multiples of (100/12) = 8.3. Percentages such as 3 are mathematically impossible.Bill (talk) 18:39, 20 November 2022 (UTC)

Belated thanks. That section of the article was heavily vandalized, and you were reading it after someone stupidly changed 387 cases to 12. The table itself was fine, and shortly afterward the correct 387 was restored in the text. —173.56.111.206 (talk) 07:39, 9 August 2024 (UTC)
