Abby Wambach, an American soccer legend with the women's national team, said she has cut all ties and "fully" divested herself from the concussion drug company backed by Pro Football Hall of Famer Brett Favre. The company, Odyssey Health, is at the center of a Mississippi welfare fraud case that has ties to Favre.
Wambach was on the sports advisory board for the company, which is working with Prevacus in developing a nasal spray designed to treat concussions. Its top investor is Favre and the company accepted $2.1 million in funds that were supposed to be directed to welfare recipients, according to a lawsuit filed by the state of Mississippi.
