"however, CTE may affect those with neurodegenerative diseases or drug addictions"

I'd love to see the correlation between CTE and PED usage

This is interesting.

Study: CTE found in people with no history of contact sports - FootballScoop

Aaron Hernandez was only about 23 years old when he stopped playing football. And they found one of the worst cases of CTE in his brain after he died in 2017.

That told me right there that they don't fully understand CTE yet.

Interesting that the Scientists name that did this study was Goger Roodell...

I always wondered how many non-sports brains they were looking at. Easy to not find something if you aren't looking for it.

What they call CTE may just be the natural breakdown of tissue. May be increased in certain ways by certain impacts/events. But just like people used to die of "old age" but now all have a cause (cancer, heart failure, etc) this too will be better understood as we research it.

I've always believed there was something with CTE and whatever these guys are taking.....not only PED's but anti-inflammatory and other painkilling drugs. Could very well be a case of players who simply abused their bodies (and brains) with some of that stuff.

Thanks for the link.

Same, most of the brains they looked at were from people who thought they had something wrong with them.

I'm pretty sure they never had a very good control group, which is necessary for good testing.

no doubt.

Wonder when they will determine that fluoride destroys the brain

I googled "CTE PED correlation". The only study I found suggests there isn't a link between steroids and CTE.

No Link between Steroids and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy, Study Suggests

who knew many of the cte lawsuits were a scam?

We already know this. That's why you should not swallow toothpaste.
HAZMAT is rated by Flourine and chlorine content. (among other things)

especially if you already getting plenty in public water supplies

how about football w/ no helmets again!


here me beavs way back when attempting a FG block…outlawed the next year.

I don't drink from public water supply. Have not for 40 years. I told a friend about this in San Jose. He told his dad who was a chemist at IBM. His dad tested the water supply and his whole family quit drinking tapwater. San Jose has a much better source these day but - to each his own.....

Self-Worth Shattering: A Single Bomb Blast Can Saddle Soldiers with Debilitating Brain Trauma

I can personally attest to this. I was caught in a blast in Vietnam that resulted in an electrical like impulse that went down one side of my body. That was because the opposite side of my brain slammed into my skull bone. Fortunately, a brain scan subsequently revealed no detectable damage and I've never had any symptoms that would link to CTE. But............it's no joke and soldiers and athletes, that play contact sports, should take it seriously IMO.
