A team of investigators?
Name them then if you're so confident in their conclusions.
Oh and I have noticed how you've not quoted any statistics or anything else from this "team of investigators".
Because when the study YOU are quoting was peer reviewed the comment was:
"it was impossible to draw any conclusions from such a small sample" and called for further medical investigations
Subsequent studies actually found that there was no increase of Sudden Cardiac Death, above that of the general population and only in people with PRE-EXISTING cardiac conditions.
Not arrogance is it?
Jon Karlsson, head of the Swedish Football Association's medical committee, was skeptical, saying studies indicate that nearly all soccer players who have died on the field had genetic heart problems.
"We don't have any indication that (painkillers) have been the cause,'' Karlsson said. "I am pretty skeptical that this would be the only explanation.
"I think it is a serious simplification.''
Jon Karlsson MD PhD is Professor of Sports Traumatology and Orthopaedics at the Sahlgrenska Academy, Gothenburg University. He is Head of the Orthopaedic Department, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, Sweden. He holds also a clinical position as Senior Consultant at the Orthopaedic Department, mainly as knee and shoulder Surgeon. He is team physician of IFK Göteborg, football club
He's speaking on behalf of a committee of medical professionals....... including cardiologists so what does that say? Not arrogance.
