«Breaking News» Cricketer who was warned he could DIE from mystery condition is forced to retire

Veteran cricketer John Hastings has been forced into retirement amid fears he could bleed to death in the middle of the pitch due to a bizarre medical condition.

Hastings, 33, had been playing top flight cricket for 11 years without complaint but last summer mysteriously started coughing up blood every time he bowled. 

Doctors were baffled as the unusual condition didn't occur when he lifted weights or did boxing.

Several theories were blamed for the bleeding, including Hasting's abnormally large heart, but there were still more questions than answers.

Now, after multiple procedures, including stress tests and bronchoscopes, doctors believe the cause could be tiny blood vessels in his lungs which burst under the pressure of his bowling action. 

'That determines I cough up blood on a regular basis,' Hastings told The Age, adding 'it's a really scary thing'.  

With his health in mind, Hastings has pulled up stumps.

'There was just a lot of grey areas surrounding long-term health, whether it was causing any damage, and if there was any potential to have a fatal bleed on the field,' he told the publication.

'They just really couldn’t say yes or no. And I wasn’t happy with that.'

Hastings can retire a content man.

He won the Sheffield Shield with Victoria, represented Australia in all three formats as well as captaining the Melbourne Stars in the T20 Big Bash League. 

With his playing spikes now formally discarded, Hastings will turn his attention to working in the media.

Hastings won't have to look too far when it comes to opportunities - he is already on the books of Fox Sports, the ABC, SEN and Triple M.

He also offers his expert insight on Cricket Victoria's live stream of the Sheffield Shield.

Hastings also plans to open a cafe in Frankston South with his wife Brianna and her cousins.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
