Evidence exist. An athlete could have a career ended by catching the virus.You have no idea if what you just said is true. Medical doctors, and I assume you aren't one, don't even know the exact nature of the risk of heart damage. As all the articles and doctors have stated, there is anecdotal evidence that this risk exists, but that no in depth studies have been conducted. We won't know for years when the medical and scientific community can look back and do the studies need to come to a conclusion with the certainty of your post. It's not there today.
As for the 3 viruses I mentioned, that can affect the heart, they are part of college football. Teams are constantly being vigilant to ensure that the flu and mono are not spread throughout the team. While C19 is a novel virus, the idea of protecting athletic teams from common viruses (cold, flu, mono) is not new at all.
The idea of protecting athletes from the 3 you mentioned is not new but this virus and the way it works is new.
