The Australian Sports Brain Bank has diagnosed a former Australian rules football player with chronic traumatic encephalopathy in a landmark finding for female professional athletes.
Buckland co-authored a report on his findings with neurologist Alan Pearce.
Anderson had at least one diagnosed concussion while playing eight games during Adelaide's premiership-winning AFLW season in 2017. Anderson had played rugby league and Aussie rules, starting in contact sports at the age of 5. She retired from the professional AFLW after the 2017 season because of a shoulder injury before returning to work as an army medic.
Buckland thanked the family for donating Anderson's brain and said he hopes"more families follow in their footsteps so we can advance the science to help future athletes.”
