Newspaper Says Artificial Turf Maker Sold Faulty Fields to Schools, Parks Nationwide, reported by Bob Cooke, Forbes.com.  Cooke's reporting on this is excellent, but the true gem is the New Jersey Star-Ledger's Advance Media report by Christopher Baxter and Matthew Stanmyre.  See The 100-Yard Deception, an ongoing investigative report on deceptive practices by the Field Turf Tarkett Company. 

July 8, 2016 - Colorado Spring, CO - Composition of Artificial Turn Surfaces Key To Preventing High School Football Injuries, published by American Orthopaedic Society For Sports Medicine, republished in Science Newsline.
