The AFL is launching a comprehensive and independent review of the work and advice of concussion doctor Paul McCrory who for years treated and diagnosed athletes suffering concussions and other serious head injuries.
Fifa is reviewing its relationship with the global sports concussion organisation it helps fund amid allegations of plagiarism against its former co-chair, the influential neuroscientist Dr Paul McCrory.
A butterfly flapped its wings last June and nine months later sport is still dealing with the fallout. It happened when Dr Steve Haake, a professor of Sports Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University, was confronted with a case of self-plagiarism committed by a contributor in a set of conference proceedings he had edited in 2006. It got Haake thinking about a similar incident in his life from around the same time. In 2000, he wrote an article called Physics, Technology and the Olympics, for Physics World. In 2012, he was surprised to find much of that same article repeated, verbatim, in an editorial published in 2005 by the editor in chief of the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Dr Paul McCrory. After dealing with the one old case, Haake decided, at last, to do something about the other.
