The cardiologist who cleared Reggie Lewis to play (for the Celtics) was subsequently sued by his widow. Here, you have a situation where a team (worth a lot of $$) <b>knows</b> one of its players <b>may</b> have a potentially life-threatening heart condition. If the team did not formally make the request for the player to be tested, I suspect they could be sued as well (Mrs. Lewis's suit did not prevail, but did go to trial at least twice).
