'There's no such thing as safe' in contact sports, brain injury expert says

Discussing the issue of contact sports and the threat to sports men and women of all ages, particularly in the light of the recent death, just last month, of a 17-year-old French woman after a head collision on the rugby field, FRANCE 24’s Mark Owen speaks with Dr Daniel H Daneshvar, Associate Professor at Harvard Medical School. He says that “there’s not such thing as safe” in contact sports, explaining that “if you get a lot of repeated hits to the head, then you’re at risk for problems later in life, both in the near term and the long term”.
