Pitt Kicker David Abdul just does not seem to get much of a chance just to have things be normal for any length of time. From the fire that torched his apartment, to seeing Billy Gaines fall from rafters to his death, to suffering through a miserable season kicking, to a horrible car accident that broke his leg, now this.

Pitt senior kicker David Abdul is being tested for a potential genetic heart condition similar to that of his twin brother, Jonathan, who had surgery to replace a valve.

“David Abdul’s twin brother recently underwent heart surgery,” Pitt sports information director EJ Borghetti said. “In light of his brother’s condition, the entire family is undergoing medical evaluation for any type of related conditions. As it relates to David a definitive diagnosis or planned course of action has not yet been determined. Has received some evaluations from his family doctor and he will be evaluated by Pitt’s doctors next week.”

If it is determined that Abdul’s condition is similar to his brother’s, his future with the Panthers would be in doubt. It would also mark the end of a career that began with much promise but has been marked by a long run of tough luck.

Yeesh. Good luck David. Something has to go your way sooner or later.
