this was the response of men's world number one andy murray to the recent comments.so i'm not sure about that. i don't see why anyone has a problem with two people who love each other getting married, if it's two men, two women, that's great. i don't see why it should matter. it's not anyone else's business and everyone should have, in my opinion, the same rights. yeah, that's my view on it. i don't agree with it. sudden cardiac death is the biggest killer of athletes and sports stars. it can come completely out of the blue, with no prior symptoms. earlier this year we saw the death of tottenham hotspur‘s under 23 coach and former england international ugo ehiogu aged just 1m. and in 2012 bolton wanderer‘s midfielder fabrice muamba had to be revived after collapsing during a game. st george's hospital in london is a global leader in sports cardiology, and regularly puts elite athletes through their paces — under the guidance of renowned cardiologist professor sanjay sharma. i met the team and experienced for myself how they put hearts to the test. this is what you go
