The link between contact sports
and dementia extends beyond
chronic traumatic encephalopathy
to a much wider range of neurologi-
cal diseases, according to new stud-
ies of the brains of former football
and rugby players.
Although there has been an enor-
mous focus on CTE following the
neurological problems facing
American footballers, the evolving
weight of research, including the
groundbreaking work at the Uni-
versity of Glasgow, is finding a mix-
ture of brain diseases among those
with a long history of head trauma.
A review of international scien-
tific evidence has also reinforced a
study in Italy which showed that
footballers were more than six
times more likely to suffer from
motor neurone disease. Don Revie,
By Tom Morgan
The Premier League joined forces
with the world footballing
establishment to attack Saudi
Arabia yesterday for failing to stop a
broadcaster screening pirated
footage of European matches.
Fifa, Uefa, La Liga and the Bun-
desliga also took the unprecedented
step of demanding action from the
nation’s government after admit-
ting a joint legal bid to stop Saudi-
based beoutQ had fallen flat.
Footballing bodies believe the
Middle East nation has so far turned
a blind eye to so-called “widespread
and flagrant” breaches because of
its rift with Qatar, where beIN
Sports holds the commercial rights
for the Middle East.
The piracy has continued in part
because any legal bid to stop the
broadcaster has fallen flat as coun-
sel in Saudi are refusing to take the
case. Seven football organisations
have called on the Saudi Arabian
authorities to support the termina-
tion of “widespread and flagrant
breaches of [their] intellectual
property rights in the country”.
The Saudi government has been
contacted for comment.Jimmy Johnstone, Fernando Rick-
sen, Len Johnrose and Stephen
Darby are among the higher profile
former footballers to have been
diagnosed with motor neurone dis-
ease. Patrick Grange, the former
Major League Soccer player whose
brain was examined at Boston Uni-
versity, was found to have motor
neurone disease as well as CTE.
CTE is the type of dementia that
is most commonly linked to head
trauma and was still found in
around three-quarters of the 11 for-
mer footballers and rugby players
with dementia in the Glasgow
study. Most striking, however, was
the prevalence of other dementias
and neurological diseases within
individual brains, including Alzhei-
mer’s, Parkinson’s disease, chronic
cerebrovascular disease and
dementia with Lewy bodies.
All of those studied had played
football or rugby over periods rang-
ing from 11 to 32 years, and were notSaudi Arabia
urged to act

Dementia threat is
wider than feared
regularly exposed to other contact
sports. The vast majority first
showed dementia symptoms in
their fifties or sixties and died
before the age of 80. “The focus has
been too narrow on CTE, which we
show might be a ‘passenger’ pathol-
ogy, and not the primary driver of
dementia,” said Dr Willie Stewart,
the lead investigator at Glasgow.
“What is striking is the degree of
mixed pathologies. This is some-
thing we are aware of in wider
dementias, but typically in ‘veryold’ patients. These former players
are not ‘very old’, and so it does
raise a question why they have such
complex pathology.” Dr Bennet
Omalu, the doctor credited with
identifying some of the first CTE
cases in American football, is aware
of the Glasgow research.
He said: “We need to move away
from the monolithic way of think-
ing. CTE is not the only type of
brain damage you suffer. Brain
trauma increases your risk of suf-
fering a variety of brain diseases.”Brave: Stephen Darby, who has motor neurone disease, and wife Steph Houghton
