Talk:Doug Blasdell

Eleven years older?

If Jackie is 38, and Doug was 44 when he died, why does this article say he was the oldest trainer by 11 years?

Good point. Perhaps the original author was not considering Jackie to be a trainer, per se, since she is the owner of SkySport. That said, Doug was the eldest trainer, but not by eleven years - Andre being 37-years-old, Zen being 35-years-old, and Rebecca being 34-years-old. I'm fairly new to this editing stuff, though, so don't know how to make the correction. Watbull 07:09, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

References Section

I messed up with the references for the biography section... put the references section in the wrong spot and now don't know how to fix the problem. Watbull 07:12, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Ugh... maybe I fixed it... changed it to a subheading. Don't know if that's the standard here, or not. Sorry. Watbull 07:17, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Fixed the placing of the references for you, Watbull! =) smileydude66 08:00, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Brian Peeler Broke the News of Doug's DEATH??

The last time I watched the Workout episodes, Peeler told the trainers that Doug could be dead, not that he really was dead. Am I wrong? If not, please fix this asap. --Yu Han

Rhabdomyolysis

Has anyone heard that Doug's kidney failure was related to rhabdomyolysis (when muscle tissue is rapidly broken down, resulting in a toxic effect on the kidneys)? I ask because it is known that rhabdomyolysis can cause sudden, acute kidney failure, and it is also known that salmonella poisoning can cause rhabdomyolysis in an otherwise healthy individual. It is also interesting to note that when the trainers in "Work Out" had their body fat measured, Doug's was the lowest --- when your body fat percentage goes too low, you actually elevate your risk for acquiring certain health problems, like rhabdomyolysis.

Making these speculations without a suitable source to back them up would constitute original research, which we all know does not belong on Wikipedia. However, if anyone comes across an article that says anything about this (and pertains directly to Doug), it would be good to include in the article. After all, when a young, athletic person suddenly dies, it is good to know exactly why it happened (and potentially could even help someone from suffering the same fate).174.17.225.92 (talk) 16:13, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
