    Pretty shocking news. One of the very best swimmers in the world. Always came across as a very smart and funny guy in any interviews he gave.

    Do these top athletes get screened for heart issues?

    You can get screened, but there are so many potential different issues with the heart that even when being screened, some things can slip through.
