Deadspin Interviews Luke Fedlam on HIPAA Laws Applying to Athletes

Luke Fedlam was interviewed by Deadspin on whether or not HIPAA laws apply to athletes. The article states, that most athletes agree to share their health information with their employer when they sign a contract with a team. But, in the interview, Luke offers another way of looking at it, "if the player goes to receive independent private medical treatment and that information solely rests with that doctor that healthcare system or that hospital and doesn’t share that information with the team or authorize the sharing of that information to anyone else then that information should really stay private.”
