As it has grown in popularity it has improved in quality. The crumb rubber base has added more cushion and has been a great way to recycle tires, a win/win for all. Yet there have been lingering doubts about crumb rubber's chemical content and exposure to athletes of all ages. It even became the basis for a gender discrimination controversy in soccer.
Now it looks like some definitive findings are out giving the green light to crumb rubber. But is the battle over? Has epidemiology won out over fear of cancer? Join us as we explore the legal ins and outs of science vs fear.
