Surely all these sports people having cardiac arrests and dying left, right and centre, can't just be coincidence? Is there such thing as too much exercise? Where do you draw the line?
Now a World champion swimmer has passed away (RIP).

Now a World champion swimmer has passed away (RIP).
Norway's world 100 metre breaststroke champion Alexander Dale Oen has died.
Dale Oen, who was 26, was in Flagstaff, Arizona at a training camp where he is reported to have had a cardiac arrest.
Starla Collins, a spokesperson for the Flagstaff Medical Center, confirmed Dale Oen had died but could not provide any more details.
Dale Oen won the 100m breaststroke at the World Championships in Shanghai last July, three years after claiming Olympic silver in Beijing.
He was one of Norway's top hopes for success at this summer's Olympic Games in London.
Per Rune Eknes, the president of the Norwegian Swimming Federation, told www.vg.no: "This is just awful, especially for the family and close friends, and also the sport of swimming."
