These types of "studies" are usually a sham funded by organisation that have something to gain from a favourable test result, be it further funding or potential product sales.

It is hard enough to get a footballer to pee into a cup without bitching and moaning, to have such an extensive long-term history on a large number of athletes and monitor all their activities and everything they shove into their bodies is beyond any study group. There could be one of many different things that could cause a rise, it might not even be football related.

Huh? CTE can only be discovered once someone has died. If someone is a professional athlete and has had multiple concussions or even as new research is suggesting constant knocks to the head, there's a good chance of CTE developing.

What else could cause CTE at a young age? It's found in professional sporting athletes. If you're a person of young age say 25 years old who has never played contact sport or received head trauma if you die and an autopsy is conducted then CTE wont be present in the brain.
