this is where we hold our breath

 

What has changed in the testing??? Why suddenly are they catching guys in a hightened time???

 

Wonder when we will findout the names

 

I hope this doesnt hurt any of my fantasy teams!!! Please dont let it be Andre Johnson!!!!

 

A rumor started by some random guy who has a friend that is part of a message board. The list in all likelihood is complete BS.

 

wes welker, crossing fingers.

 

Think about this for a minute. The report came out here in Denver. Just a thought here, but the Broncos were interested in trading for Ricky Williams last season, then he failed a drug test. Travis Henry got cut from the Broncos not too long ago and then he failed a test. Wonder if the Broncos have some inside scoop on this stuff?? Just throwing it out there.

 

A little disappointed in this Gish.


You are worried about Andre Johnson. Shouldnt you be more worried about anybody on the Dolphins? I guess that's why I really dont get the entire Fantasy thing. Not even in Madden...just me I guess



So, IF these guys are all positive, do they miss time? That would be a HUGE blow to the Saints. We have already seen how un-effective they tend to be with Duece..and Bush has a bum knee now also.

EDIT: Of course I meant WITHOUT Duece.

 

:hammertime: I'm a bush and Pierre owner in my family league :hammertime:


On that note Eddie Moore SHOULD be on that list...........:shifty:

 

you dont get 4 games for testing positive.

that is strike 2 or 3

strike 1 warning i think
strike 2 is a 4 game fine
strike 3 is 4 game suspension
strike 4 is a year off
strike 5 is bye bye forever

 

the leak has to be from denver somewhere

 

my mistake


The NFL policy for substance abuse says for a first violation, the NFL could fine and suspend a player without pay for up to four regular games or six games for a second violation.

 

Yeah I'm pretty sure they get a suspension right away. Peppers tested positive for a banned substance his rookie season and got suspended for the last 4 games even though it was a minor infraction mislabled in a supplement he was taking.

 

You do face an immediate (max, I think) of 4 game suspension. or maybe the four games is automatic. what I do know is that it is subject to appeals.

 

i agree.

 

Any news on how they were caught? What has changed to suddenly detect and catch them?

 

as far as how they were all of a sudden "caught" maybe the league decided to started going deeper with their analysis of test such as how they started in my area in the industrial plants here..just for example if u were tested for marijuana they used to just look for marijuana but a few years ago they decided to do deeper analysis,people were using "golden seal" to mask their test and the deeper analysis would test for the golden seal as well and if that was found then it was a automatic fail of the screen as one would not have that in their system unless they were trying to hide the marijuana(unless u had prove from a doctor that indeed u needed the golden seal for something.

not saying this is what the nfl did but it is one possibility.

 

im not worried about it being a dolphin. if one of our own gets busted, we're better off without him. the league would be doing us a favor.

EDIT: Even Joey.

 

I think he means long term dood :up:

I wouldn't want those kinds of players on my team.

 

Interesting, this could possibly turn into a law-suit for the players that have been named by the Denver Television station

Report: Saints' McAllister, Smith among positive tests for diuretic - NFL - CBSSports.com Football

 

both are 30+. we dont need them leading with that kind of example.

 

Steve, as soon as I saw it was Denver, the Ricky Williams leak came to mind. Somewhere there is a leak in Denver and I hope like hell they find it and fire the schmuck giving up the names.

 

I was just throwing it out there since it has now happened 3 times out here in the past year. Why would the Broncos really cut Travis Henry and sign Pittman? They had to know something.
