RIP. I will never forget his equaliser against Arsenal in the 4-4 game.

what the *bleep*

RIP

RIP

whatttttttttt

Not CHEIK TIOTE the absolute monster i cannot believe this

One of my all time favourites in FUT. May you rest in peace

I read about it earlier, i thought it was bullshit though.

Was one of the few times i wanted twitter rumors to just people being massive dickheads.

Gone too soon. There must be some unidentified cause imo.

Heart failure during a training session apparently.

Happens too often in sports.

The man at the pinnacle of fitness died while training. Meanwhile, my neighbour comes home drunk every Friday, Saturday and I guess Tuesday night.

RIP. This is honestly disheartening to read really.

Just thought about him yesterday watching The Ivory Coast vs Holland game and wondered if he was still with the NT.

RIP.

Even more tragically am told Cheick Tioté's wife is expecting a baby this week #rip

Oh man, this is so sad.

Horrible news. RIP Tiote

RIP. Terrible to hear.

terrible news

RIP......I am no expert in genetics, but is there a reason these sort of athletic deaths are more common among African players ??


Training in such a humid weather in China while fasting and no intake of water, surely not a good idea

Yeah us africans have more chances to have such diseases .

"" The average black person is more likely than any other race to experience sudden cardiac arrest and at a much earlier age, according to research published by the American Heart Association. The study found that 175 Black men and 90 Black women per 100,000 people go through sudden cardiac arrest, in comparison to 84 White men and 40 White women per 100,000 people "

how was his heart problems not get picked up from all the medicals he has had.

I guess you can't detect it that easily unless you look for it i.e run difderents tests .I remember that Thuram in 2008 or so wanted to play for PSG and they discovered that he has a heart anomaly and he then decided to retire . He went through a full career at high levelbwitj that anomaly. A lot of players must have similar problems without knowing.

RIP, feel bad for his family. There expecting a child soon

WTF

RIP

Its so saddening to see people go away at a young age. RIP

Top lad. RIP.

RIP.

this is just sad, rip. more needs to be done in terms of detecting these things. and no, i don't think one race is more prone than another, there are many things that could result in this, it seemed to be frequent at one time in la liga in the late 2000s/early 10s. can't exactly put a finger on it. but its really sad

I'm not saying its the case with tiote but we often see reports of African players saying they are much younger than they really are and it does seem like more African players suffer these sudden death problems than other players maybe that could be a factor in why it happens more to them.
