Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre disclosed he has Parkinson’s disease during a congressional hearing on Tuesday.
Brett Favre testified before the House Ways and Means Committee on Prevacus, a company making a concussion drug that took $2 million from a Mississippi welfare fund (TANF).
The founder of Prevacus over the summer pleaded guilty to wire fraud and admitted he used the welfare money to pay off gambling debts.
“Sadly, I also lost an investment in a company that I believed was developing a breakthrough concussion drug I thought would help others,” Brett Favre said during a congressional hearing. “And I’m sure you’ll understand why it’s too late for me, because I’ve recently been diagnosed with Parkinson’s.
