Sports-Related Brain Damage Confirmed as NHLer’s Cause of Death

eyun | December 7, 2011
Researchers confirm that Derek Boogaard had brain damage that led to his drug and alcohol overdose.

It had echoes of an age-old story —with fame and money comes drug and alcohol abuse —but there were other puzzle pieces to investigate when Minnesota Wild enforcer Derek Boogaard was found dead of a drug and alcohol overdose in his Minneapolis apartment in May. It was a macabre request to his mourning family when researchers asked that they donate his brain, but they didn’t hesitate, and scientists at Bedford V.A. Medical Center were able to unlock clues as to why the 28-year-old had really died.

New Swimsuit Technology: The Next "Supersuit"?

msimone | December 1, 2011
The newest swimming innovation since 2009's banned "supersuit" give swimmers an edge, without compromising integrity.

In 2009, competitive swimming went through a period of constant questioning around the advances of suit technology used by racers. And rightfully so. In the same year swimmers began to use them, 168 world records were broken. FINA, an international organization that oversees swimming and water-related sports, ultimately banned the questionable polyurethane “supersuits” at the close of the year. But it looks like new advancements in swimming equipment could make supersuits look like a Betamax, and also raise questions as to whether it gives swimmers another unfair edge.
