Headed for Danger They were once considered gods on the soccer field, now they can barely walk or talk. For the first time on American television, "Headed For Danger" exposed a medical nightmare that some of Italy's most beloved soccer players are facing. Michele Gillen traveled across Italy to investigate claims Italian soccer players are dying from Lou Gehrig's at eight times the normal rate. "Headed For Danger: The Summit" is the emotional story of how Michele's initial reporting resulted in the first ever international medical summit on soccer, athletes, and Lou Gehrig's disease, held in Avellino, Italy, June 20 and July 1. |
