Rugby World Cup winner Steve Thompson to donate brain for chronic traumatic encephalopathy research

Addressing the change, Thompson called for contact to be taken out of the game for children and added: "We're going in the right direction but there is still a lot of work to do to make sure the players are safe."

Before speaking out in 2020, Thompson was diagnosed by neurologists at King's College, London, with early-onset dementia and probable CTE."When I had the diagnosis I was all over the place and my family was all over the place," he explained. Researchers will seek to learn how to treat common symptoms of CTE, including problems with thinking, memory, mood and sleep.
