The former International of France, Sébastien Chabal, has said that “has no memories” of his international rugby career, potentially as results of brain shocks.
“I don’t remember a single second from a rugby match that I played,” Chabal said in an interview published Wednesday at the YouTube channel legend. “I don’t remember one of the 62 mars [the French national anthem] I experienced. “Chabal played 62 times for France, mainly as a row striker, from 2000 to 2011.
Chabal, who did not mention the word “brain shock” of the interview, said he has not consulted a neurologist. “What would you do, my memory won the return,” he said, Hen does not remember the birth of his daughter?
A group of almost 300 former players, including the winners of the World Cup in England Steve Thompson and Phil Vickery, launched legal actions due to brain injuries in December 2023. The players claim that World Rugby, Welsh Rugby Union and the RFU failed to establish reasonable measures to protect their health and safety. Thompson and former Wales Star, Alix Popham, have revealed that they suffer from early starting dementia.
It is said that shock lesions have caused disorders such as motor neurons, dementia on the early bridge, Epilepsy and Parkinson’s disease.
