German racer Michael Schumacher's health condition is worsening. Contrary to previous reports that stated he is making some progress through his therapy, Schumacher is said to be heading in the opposite direction.

Recent reports suggest that the F1 legend's health is deteriorating as time goes by. In fact, when a German reporter released an article saying that Schumacher is now able to walk and talk, his family quickly debunked the rumors and threatened publications that they will sue anyone spreading false health reports of the patriarch of the family.

Word has it that Schumacher's wife was angered by the irresponsible and obnoxious reporting as it forces them to reveal updates on the racer's health condition. Schumacher's lawyer, Felix Damm, had to clear up the reports and revealed that the sports car racer is unable to walk and stand even with the assistance of his therapists.

Ever since Schumacher's ski accident in 2013, his family has been quiet about it and requested the media to respect their privacy. The Schumacher family basically ordered a media blackout. But despite that, there are still so many reports circulating around regarding Schumacher's health.

The racing champion suffered traumatic brain injury leading to his paralysis. He was also in a coma for six months from December 2013 to June 2014. From the hospital, he was transferred to a rehabilitation facility in Lausanne. He was eventually sent back to his home to continue medication and rehabilitation privately.

The Schumacher family has reportedly spent a little over $150,000 each week just for his rehabilitation. Since 2013, the family has spent $15 million and sold some of the champion's properties, including his private jet and resort home.

As of now, none of the reports have been confirmed by any of the members of the Schumacher family so it's best to take them with a pinch of salt.
