If he has issues since 2009 and it escalated from there, that's very interesting to say the least. Yet also impossible to rule out the possibility that he's an asshole scumbag coward. Regardless of what comes of this, I will always have doubts. How couldn't a person?
You're right. As far as I know, it can't be detected until death, and many have used it as a defense. I do think it's a very real issue, but that doesn't mean that every case like this = CTE.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
