Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy Is Diagnosed in a Major League Soccer Player for the First Time
CTE has been found in more than 100 former NFL players as well as semi-pro and high school soccer players. Vermillion is the first from MLS.

Eventually, he suffered from memory loss and developed a substance abuse problem.
