CTE in Rugby League: Shocking New Findings | Auckland News

from Auckland News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Shocking new research reveals 31 rugby league players, including former coach Paul Green and teen star Keith Titmuss, have been diagnosed with CTE — a degenerative brain disease caused by repetitive head impacts. Found in just 51 donated brains, the study underscores that CTE can strike at any age, even as young as 20, and calls for urgent action: banning contact sports until age 14, boosting education, and rethinking youth participation to protect future generations.
