Amphetamines are widely used in sports as a "performance enhancer", and can clearly cause stroke. Anyway, that's my two cents.

I posted on Bruschi today.

I want to know what the diffusion-weighted MRI showed. I am always suspicious of these cases with major athletes (“Giambiiasis”);

If there was “broken blood vessel in the head” (ugh) it would HAVE to be a tiny malformation that bled for him to recuperate so fast. That should be clearly evident on an MRI with susceptibility sequences, which they suerely would have done (detects blood products).

I’ve seen a LOT of those, mostly in retrospect.
