Two drug companies supported by Green Bay Packers legend Brett Favre "overstated their NFL connections and exaggerated the known effectiveness of their drugs during efforts to raise money," according to ESPN's Mark Fainaru-Wada.
Prevacus and PresolMD were working on a nasal spray and cream they claimed could be used for concussions. Prevacus also listed a number of notable figures, including NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills as "other contacts" among the "Key Advisory Members and Associates."
An NFL spokesperson confirmed the league office was contacted by Prevacus but that was as deep as the partnership went.
