Could resist the urge to check out your link, apoch. Had to see who has joined the witch-hunt. Oh, how historians will remember this time.
I have to say a link on the sidebar of that page caught my eye though. Especially for the recreational athlete, knowing that you don't "have to" have surgery might be a good piece of information.

One man's witch-hunt is another man's legitimate investigation.

Spitzengle, nice pickup, interesting article. The conclusion was a little disappointing tho' - you are more likely to suffer ACL damage playing 'cutting' sports (soccer, basketball, etc) but they would still recommend reconstruction if you intend to keep playing those sports. No magic bullet yet.

Frank Lampard to be replaced by Hello Kitty.
Not in England's midfield, sadly.
