(2/7) The very first sentence of the report of the Berkeley campus police officer who responded to Ted Agu’s medical emergency referred to “a pre-existing medical condition.” That pre-existing medical condition was sickle cell trait. http://concussioninc.net/?p=13712

(3/7) Damon Harrington, Sonny Dykes’ strength & conditioning assistant, was so evasive during interrogation that campus police Lt. Marc DeCoulode ordered a “do-over” in which he coached the coach on how to avoid “not telling the truth or being deceptive.” http://concussioninc.net/?p=13712

(5/7) The coroner ruled Ted Agu’s Cal football conditioning death was “heart failure.” The next year, in the family’s $4.75 million wrongful death lawsuit, coroner admitted UC doc Batten never told him about sickle cell and pushed generic heart failure. http://concussioninc.net/?p=13712
