Besides, world-class competition level sport does not qualify as healthy
lifestyle... Between strains on their body (joints, muscles, metabolism...),
drugs both legal and illegal, stress, weird nutrition designed for
performances rather than health, exhaustion and the rest, high level sport
is very taxing... Many professionnals are a complete wreck in their fifties,
especially since many start to put on a lot of weight as soon as they stop
competition. Maradonna is not alone, look at most ex-soccer champions, many
are now overweight and run high blood lipids.
