Elite athletes disproportionately raised MND with the study of Italian football players Assuming that the level of the disease is six times higher than in the general population.
It is believed that, limiting available oxygen and causing damage to the cells of the motor neuron, regular, tense physical exercises can cause a disease in those that are already genetically susceptible.
Moody, who won 71 caps in England and toured with the British and Irish lions in New Zealand in 2005, was called a “crazy dog” during his playful career in honor of his fearless, tirelessly approach to the game.
For some time he played in a stressful fracture of his foot with Lester and once called a fight with a training with a teammate and friend Martin Johnson, when, having disappointed, he threw a pillow for gear and began to rush into the gear.
After in 2003 he became a replacement in the final victory of the Rugby World Cup over Australia, he claimed the ball in the rear of the line in the decisive passage of the game, setting a platform for the fight of Matt Dawson to Slide and Johnny Wilkinson to gain victory in the match.
Moody had already told Johnson, who Captain England under this title, and a couple of other former teammates of England about his diagnosis.
Jordan Murphy and Leon Lloyd, who played with Lester, created a collection page to help him and his family.
But many of the former Moody teammates will study his news with the rest of the public.
“There will be a time when we need to be supported by their support, but at present it is just to have such love and recognition that people are everything that matters,” he said.
“Rugby is an excellent community.
“I told the children the other day, I had an incredible life.
“Even if it ended now, I enjoyed all this, accepted all this and did it with incredible people.
“When you can call your passion with your career, this is one of the greatest privileges.
“To do this for so long with the teams with whom I did this was a pleasure. And I know that they will want to support everything possible, and I look forward to these conversations. ”
