The Italian champion retires from cycling at the age of 32. He had been struck by a sudden serious illness in the race and heart surgery
October 29, 2022
The news comes as that confirmation that all cycling enthusiasts would have wanted to avert. Sonny Colbrelli retires. The decision was taken following the illness that in March of this year caught Colbrelli at the end of the first stage of the Vuelta of Catalonia. According to a statement from the Bahrain Victorius team, after the finish line, Colbrelli, 32, was struck by sudden illness: "he lost consciousness and had convulsions that led to a cardiorespiratory arrest. The runner was immediately assisted by paramedics who performed a cardiac massage and with the use of a defibrillator they managed to reverse the situation. The cyclist then stabilized and was taken by ambulance to hospital." Following this, the cyclist from Brescia was implanted with an undercotune defibrillator. Sports medicine in Italy excludes the possibility of racing with this device and Colbrelli's Italian citizenship would have made it unlikely that he would have registered with the cycling federations of other countries with less stringent rules in this regard. Sonny Colbrelli went down in sports history thanks to an unrepeatable 2021, during which he won the Paris-Roubaix, The Italian title and the European road title.

Billy Dib Reveals Cancer Battle, Recovering After Tumor Removal
October 25, 2022
Former world champion Billy Dib, 37-years-old, has revealed to his followers that he has cancer. Last week, Dib experienced severe stomach [pain], which led him to a local hospital. He was initially given painkillers and released. Later, a different doctor discovered the cancerous tumor. The boxer has since undergone surgery, with the entire tumor removed. "Despite sharing the ring with some dangerous opponents in my career, this is one of the most frightening situations I have found myself in,' Dib wrote in a Facebook post. "I am so grateful that they took my pain so seriously and together with my brother Mohammad and Dr. Pham I am grateful that they took action which saved my life. At the moment I am recovering from the surgery and it has been tough. I have been unable to eat for the last 9 days and am contemplating a return to the featherweight division (jokes)."
Dib is currently recovering from the tumor removal and at this point has no idea what the future holds. "They've cut it out, they've said they've got it all but I'm in recovery and it's very hard," Dib told Wide World of Sports. "Who knows what God has got planned for me. The tumor was behind my gallbladder. I'm in bed right now, I don't know if I need chemo in the future. They've taken the tumor out, but they want to test it and see what kind of cancer it is and if it's going to spread."

Former AFL star Jason Akermanis speculates about link between wife’s cancer and COVID jab
October 12, 2022
Former AFL star Jason Akermanis is searching for answers after his usually healthy wife was diagnosed with breast cancer, leading him to speculate about a possible link with her having had the COVID jab. He made the comment after revealing his wife Megan, 43, had a double mastectomy two weeks ago after doctors found a cancerous lump in her breast “It happened straight after she had the COVID jab, and she felt a lump,” Akermanis, who is now a real estate agent, told the Herald Sun. “It’s very strange.

DJ who ‘lost motor skills’ after Moderna vaccine says doctors privately admitted link
July 5, 2022
An award-winning Australian musician who was left partially paralysed claims he was told privately by five different doctors that it was almost certainly a reaction to the Moderna vaccine but they would not put it in writing out of fear of being deregistered. Tyson Illingworth, aka tyDi, who shot to fame at age 17 after being signed by Armin van Buuren’s Armada label, says he is still in constant pain and taking daily medications and injections, more than six months after being hospitalised and going through rehab to “learn to use my hands and feet again”. The 35-year-old was forced to take six months off touring and says his “life was torn apart emotionally”, both by his injury and the alleged refusal of doctors to officially acknowledge what they told him in private. “I understand rare side effects might happen – I was unlucky. But why have five different doctors all said to me, ‘I know what this is, it’s a vaccine reaction, there’s no other explanation, but I can’t say anything because I’ll get deregistered’?”

She also wants to say a big 'thank you', this morning, to the team at Auckland Hospital who took such great care of her."
As a cyclist who has followed cycling since the 80s, Colbrelli retiring is a big deal.
No one with his pedigree retires from cycling at 32.
Thank you Mark for all your research and hard work on the injuries and deaths from the vax and continuing to try and spread the word to wake people up!!!!!
