Concussions, Confidentiality, and the Blurred Lines of Responsibility The Geelong Cats' concussion scandal has exposed a messy web of responsibility, confidentiality, and accountability within Australian Rules football.
At its center is Jake Kolodjashnij, a 30 year old defender who has spoken out about his private medical information being made public.
The controversy began with the revelation that Geelong had entered into a secret agreement with Kolodjashnij, allowing him to assume responsibility for future on field head injuries without the league's approval.
