He was one of the few to voice concerns for the players. He read about concussions and their link to chronic traumatic encephalopathy, or CTE. Peters began noticing parallels between professional rugby and the NFL, which in 2013, settled a class-action lawsuit brought by 4,500 ex-football players, who said they were misled about the long-term effects of head injuries. But the sport’s top organisations were firm on their stance that there was no issue. According to them, no such link between repeated head trauma and CTE was proven.

The nature of the defeat to Klitschko in the rematch possibly spelled the end of Peter's career as a top level fighter. Top Rank released him from his contract soon after. In spite of this Peter's manager said they would look to secure other big fights in the division against anyone other than the Klitschko brothers. [115] Peter vs. Helenius [ edit ] Peters makes the case for how professional rugby has become more dangerous and explains how the risk to players’ health has increased dramatically since turning professional in 1995. Distilling his argument – as he presents a host of academic reports, personal case studies, anecdotes and newspaper clippings throughout – it comes down to the following.

Similarly, can this mid-level cop really be the only one who has built a shell-AI model of his lost love? No way, and that being the case where are the social implications of this? Are the top government officials shells? Can shells have shells? Can you make several shells of the same person?

I can’t recall just how far in the future this was, but the use of the word “dude” felt kinda odd. I would assume many slang terms would have changed between now and when planets are getting settled far in the future. Other than that I don’t have many complaints about the prose. It was more of a straight forward writing style that gets out of the way of the story but also providing imagery and immersive scenes. To me, in sci fi, that’s a perfect balance. The dialogue felt natural and the pacing was pretty good if a little slow at points. By 2022, however, organisations began to change their stance. The RFU conceded a potential connection between repeated head trauma and CTE. Paul McCrory, “this century’s most influential sports doctor” and a key critic of the link, was exposed as a serial plagiarist, misrepresenting data and using other researchers’ work as his own. McCrory was the lead on the Concussion in Sport Group, from which the RFU took its advice about concussions. Among other changes, independent matchday doctors were employed at international games. It’s a great premise. Peters drops us in the middle of this world, which I really loved – though initially I slightly struggled with the welter of unfamiliar names, though by the time I was 20% into the story, I had become sufficiently acclimatised to the world this was no longer a problem. And the reason for their unfamiliarity became apparent well before the end. On the whole, I enjoyed this foray into the sci-fi world. I do admit that, being not as familiar with the genre as the hard core fan, I did initially struggle a tad with some of the concepts but, instead of fighting it and trying to "get" everything, I found that doing a bit of simple "accepting" made my overall journey a lot more comfortable. Making a character list as I went also helped immensely! The crime that Keon was officially meant to investigate was interesting and I really enjoyed the puzzle solving antics of Keon and his team, especially some of the trips they made along the way. Characterisation was good, once I had the characters cemented in my head, and I found that they all had depth and individual skills that they all brought, complementing each other well. Liss, I found to be interesting. Having watched and enjoyed the new series of Westworld (which this book has been compared to) I was quite easily able to believe in her. Former Nevada Republican congressional candidate Sam Peters learned a couple of weeks ago that his military records — containing personal information — were improperly released to a Democrat-paid research group a year before.

Today there is a legal case against World Rugby, the RFU and the Welsh Rugby Union, with more than 300 ex-players involved, alleging that they suffered brain injuries sustained during their careers.
