The French sports community was shocked by the painful news. It is reported that today former football player of the national team Jean-Pierre Adams has left for Anapilis. The defender, who played 22 matches for his country's national team back in 1982, fell into a coma due to the fault of medical personnel. At that time, the Frenchman underwent a knee operation, but due to an anesthetist's error, he suffered a bronchial spasm, which deprived the player's brain of oxygen, and the athlete spent almost 40 years in a vegetative state. Those responsible for the tragedy were temporarily removed from their duties for one month and had to pay a fine of about $815. The footballer's wife did not want Adams to be euthanized and continued to care for her husband, who turned 73 this year.
