Former University of Southern California (“USC”) football student-athlete Armond Armstead sued USC, doctors, and medical facilities related to painkilling injections he received in 2009 and 2010.  The lawsuit claims that Armstead was improperly injected with Toradol (a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory) in 2009 and 2010, which caused him to have a heart attack and hindered his ability to play in the NFL, and these injections were “mandatory.”  Armstead further claims he was not warned of the side effects of Toradol, which included the risk of heart attack or stroke.  Armstead seeks undisclosed damages.  He currently plays for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League.
