The AFL has recognised the link between head trauma and the degenerative brain disease CTE in its official submission to a Senate inquiry, but says the association between head trauma and long-term psychological health is less clear.
In its submission to the Senate inquiry into concussion and repeated head trauma in contact sports, the league said it “acknowledges that there is an association between head trauma and neurodegenerative disease .”
The Senate inquiry is scheduled to hold a public hearing in Melbourne on April 26, when it is expected the AFL will face questions about its submission.
