TORONTO (AP) — Testing on the brains of four deceased CFL players shows two of them suffered from a neurological disease.
Former Toronto Argonaut and Hamilton Tiger-Cat Bobby Kuntz, and Jay Roberts, an Ottawa Rough Rider, had repeated concussions during their careers, and their brains showed signs of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE.
CTE can cause memory impairment, emotional instability, erratic behavior, depression and poor impulse control, and may eventually lead to dementia.
