For soccer star Lori Chalupny, concussions have created confusion about her health

Posted Oct 21, 2010
Lori Chalupny, 26, will not play for the U.S. squad in Mexico and perhaps never represent her country again because of a history of concussions. Although Chalupny has been allowed to continue her pro career, the U.S. Soccer Federation, in consultation with one of the leading experts on sports head trauma, has not cleared her to play for the national team.
