More or Less: Behind the Stats - WS More or Less: Are African football players more likely to die on the field?

Cheick Tiote, the much loved former Newcastle United player collapsed and died while training with Chinese side Beijing Enterprises earlier this month. His death and that of other black footballers have caused some commentators to ask ? are African or black players more likely to die while playing than other people?

We speak to statistician Dr Robert Mastrodomenico and Professor Sanjay Sharma, a specialist in sports cardiology.
