Football s head injury policy a shambles : brain specialist

London (AFP) – A concussion expert told British lawmakers on Tuesday that football’s management of head injuries was a “shambles” at the beginning of a parliamentary inquiry into the issue. Consultant neuropathologist Willie Stewart was speaking to MPs on the House of Commons Digital, Culture, Media and Sport committee. A 2019 study led by Stewart found that professional footballers were three-and-a-half times more likely to die from neurodegenerative disease compared with members of the general population. He also examined the brain of English World Cup winner Nobby Stiles following his death in October and concluded that Stiles had been suffering from CTE (chronic traumatic encephalopathy), which is only found in people with a history of repetitive head trauma.
