Concussed Sport's Uncomfortable Truth by Sam Peters The story of a groundbreaking campaign that changed the face of professional rugby forever. In 2023, Sam Peters, a journalist who spearheaded the Mail on Sunday's concussion campaign, recounts the untold story of how he fought to expose the mounting head injury crisis in the sport. Peters' efforts were met with fierce resistance, with many labelling him a 'pariah' and threatening his career. Yet, he persevered, conducting exclusive interviews with bereaved families, high-profile administrators, medics, players, coaches, lawyers, and media figures. The result is a powerful and unflinching account of the countless battles he fought to bring about radical change in player welfare standards. Through Peters' story, the uncomfortable truth about sports-related concussions and their devastating consequences is laid bare.
