A study in the USA claims there is a link between the use of artificial pitches which contain crumb rubber - made from recycled tyres - and cancer. Dustin Pedroia Jersey . The study - by the University of Washington - is not new and the results do not mean that 3G pitches in the UK hold a health risk.The complete report cannot be made public as it contains personal information of those surveyed, but its conclusions are worrying, according to one of the authors, former US Womens soccer international Amy Griffin.Griffin found that 200 athletes who use artificial surfaces regularly have developed forms of cancer. Of those 200, 158 were footballers and of those 158, 95 were goalkeepers.The report went onto highlight crumb rubber, which is spread over artificial surfaces to act as a support, to prevent wear and tear and soak up excess water, is made of recycled tyres that can contain hazardous levels of toxic chemicals.Those chemicals, if ingested over a long period of time can cause an increased risk of developing cancer. In the USA, tyres either manufactured domestically or imported can contain chemicals such as lead, cadmium and mercury.In reply to a request from Sky Sports News HQ about any health concerns over the use of artificial pitches, FIFA - who has conducted two studies in the last decade - replied: FIFAs Medical Assessment and Research Center (F-MARC) in cooperation with UEFA conducted an analysis of this matter in 2006.At that time, the conclusion was clear: the available body of scientific research on this issue did not substantiate the assumption that cancer resulting from exposure to SBR granulate infills in artificial turf could potentially occur. Since then, several independent research have been conducted -the latest being from 2015- reaching similar conclusions. FIFA will continue monitoring and analysing any new evidence produced on this matter. The available body of scientific research... did not substantiate the assumption that cancer resulting from exposure to SBR granulate infills in artificial turf could potentially occur. FIFA Artificial pitches are a common sight in football in the UK and the Football Association are spearheading a campaign for more all-weather facilities.Guidance from football authorities in the UK say they are constantly monitoring the situation and at this time are assured there is no evidence to suggest any danger.Sky Sports News HQ are awaiting information from The British Association of Tyre Manufacuturers as to what materials are legally allowed in the manufacture of tyres within the UK and EU.EU health and safety marks state the presence of mercury and benzene in tyres is not allowed while lead and cadmium are at trace levels of 0.05 per cent and 0.001 per cent - the same restrictions are not in place in the US.While many experts believe there is no hard evidence to suggest a link between cancer and crumb rubber, there is yet to be a comprehensive study on the subject.A study is under way in California which certainly intends to be more scientifically intense, but it is not due for publication until June 2018.

CHICAGO -- Matt Garza felt he was just a bit off with his command on Tuesday. That was just enough for the Chicago Cubs to break through against the Brewers right-hander.Trevor Cahill came off the disabled list to throw five innings of two-hit ball in his first start in nearly 16 months, and the Cubs beat Milwaukee 4-0 in the opener of a day-night doubleheader.Garza (4-5) allowed three runs and two hits but needed 103 pitches to get through five innings.The three walks hurt, he said. To me, the three walks are the three runs.Just one of the runners to score reached on a walk, but Garza thought walks played a role in each rally.They did a good job of grinding out at-bats, he said. They fouled off a lot pitches. Granted, I didnt have the best command today. It was definitely a grind.Garza allowed a run in a 28-pitch first inning and his run-scoring wild pitch in the third made it 2-0. In the fourth, Cahill successfully bunted a 3-2 pitch, and first baseman Chris Carters flip home wasnt in time to get a sliding Chris Coghlan.Cahill allowed two walks and struck out Manny Pina with a runner on third to end the fifth.I was just trying to go as many as I could, Cahill said. I was fortunate to get five and, hopefully, didnt beat up the bullpen too much.Mike Montgomery followed with two innings, Hector Rondon worked the eighth and Joe Smith walked two in the ninth before Aroldis Chapman got two outs to close a three-hitter.Cahill (2-3) also drove in a run with a safety squeeze bunt, and the Cubs added runs on a wild pitch and Addison Russells sacrifice fly.Chapman hit 103 mph while striking out two for his fifth save with the Cubs, who ended a two-gamme skid. Tony Conigliaro Jersey. Chicagos Jason Hammel (12-5) was to face fellow Chase Anderson (7-10) in the second game.Cahill was a 2010 All-Star before consecutive 200-inning seasons with Oakland. But the right-hander struggled in Arizona, started three games for Atlanta in April last year, moved to the bullpen and was released before signing with Chicago.He was a reliever until going on the disabled list with right knee tendinitis. But he was stretched out in a rehab assignment and had good command in his first big league appearance since July 9.Coghlan hit a sacrifice fly in the eighth off Damien Magnifico, who made his major league debut.NO BRAUNBrewers slugger Ryan Braun, who homered twice and drove in six runs Sunday, wasnt in the Game 1 lineup. He flied out as a pinch-hitter in the eighth.TRAINERS ROOMBrewers: Struggling RHP Michael Blazek went on the 15-day disabled list with a right forearm strain. He was really just fatigued, manager Craig Counsell said. But because of the scheduling situation and because hes had some elbow soreness this season, we thought it was best to be safe. Magnifico was called up from Triple-A Colorado Springs.Cubs: Manager Joe Maddon said RHP John Lackey (shoulder stiffness) could have his next start pushed back. . RHP Pedro Strop (knee surgery) was off crutches. Hes expected to miss at least a month.visiting clubhouse.Were on top of each other, thats for sure, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said.UP NEXTCubs RHP Jon Lester (12-4, 2.93) faces RHP Jimmy Nelson (6-12, 4.07) on Wednesday night.
