The Rape of Lucretia wrote: » There is still something very suspect going on on the release or not of medical issues. From all in the open. To closed, private, personal, none of your business. But only in some cases. And what we see from the likes of Murray and Leavy, is that if we all saw the injury happen, the diagnosis and prognosis are released. No worry about it being personal info. If we dont see it happen, its personal to the player. The pattern give some credibility to the dodgy nature of the unreleased ones, and no surprise that speculation and rumour fill the gap. If they drew a veil over all such info, there would be consistency and credibility. But releasing info on a clear break, ligament tear, etc, undermines the privacy argument for the cloudy ones.
