Thread: Xenadrine to be sued by baseball player's widow

So F "ing" typical. Its all about the money..

Lets see, I won't go to the Dr. to get my bad kidneys diagnosed and I'll get in the worst shape of my life for 6 months and then wait until its a hundred degrees and then go on a liquid diet and then pop about 4 Xenedrine or so and run laps with no fluids.

Sounds like a game plan..

I don't necessarily think it is about money...at least not for the widow so much as the lawyers. But nobody ever wants to take blame. It's a shame wiht this happens. I mean, it usually says not to take the stuff if there is a heart condition. The guy admitted himself that he was clearly out of shape...as did the coach say so too. All the conditions were right for this guy to just collapse. Can't say how I would react though if I was the one standing by the casket. Sucks though.

I'm not surprised.

Lets sue tylenol, im sure somebody has died from it somewhere.

This sums it up ...

Part of the above report


According to reports in the media, Mr. Bechler had the following risk factors for heat stroke:

a prior history of heat illness episodes while in high school - which heightens the probability of reoccurring incidents;

a family history of sudden death following exercise (his half-brother died of an aneurysm at the age of 20 after overheating from playing baseball);

a history of hypertension and liver problems;

he had not eaten solid food for a day or two, in an apparent attempt to lose weight;

he was apparently not adequately acclimatized to training in the heat and humidity of South Florida;

it appeared that he was wearing two or three layers of clothing during workouts, again, in an attempt to lose weight;

he was overweight and did not have a high enough fitness level to make it through conditioning drills; and,

he was allowed to exercise until he collapsed with a core temperature reportedly of 106° F before being removed from the field.

I'm gonna sue God for creating the sun which causes so much skin cancer, and also for creating people that sometimes kill each other!
