Potential impact of "rumored" failed drug tests

roids why just why I dont know if they are anobolic but I do know that certain items you can get from gnc will make you fail a roids test but still and all thats not thinking with your dipstick Jimmy

Honestly, Omar makes a good point when he says that its not worth the risk for first round money. Perhaps you can take that risk in the second round. At number 25 I would pass on these guys.

Ricky Williams was a completely different situation. There was almost no risk for Miami to bring him back. Or more to the point, there was no real money invested.

I truthfully dont thank its that big of a deal like FOY said it would have to depend on wat steriods he failed for and the pot thing its no an addicting drug like coc or meth ect…
i thank they should all look deeper in to this and make vontae and percy come out and talk about it

I’m not taking anybody involved in Steroids. Not only because that lands you in hot water with the league, but it has to be assumed that the roids were partially responsible for why that player is so highly rated in the first place. Without them, he’s probably not as good…

But weed? No big deal, these are college kids, they make mistakes, that’s what college is for. Plus, they’ll be the same player on the field, weed or no weed, which isn’t the case with Steroids. If we’re considering Davis/Harvin, I think you still take him, sit him down, say “look kid, cut the crap our your outta the league.” and you move along

on the list on the first day of the draft. It is too expensive. I agree with Omar.

Another reason I wouldn’t draft these kids are on steroids is that their bodies will break down once they get off them. Not only muscle injuries but tendons and ligaments also. Stay away from these guys at all costs.

It would be a shame if the USC LB’s that I have so high on wanting the fins to take are on that list. I guess it shouldn’t surprise me though, it is Pete Carrol’s USC.

But it showed that they are irresponsible, prone to make stupid decisions and don’t care for basic rules for a job that will make them tens of millions of dollars.

If you were an employer and you had prospect A.

Prospect A followed all rules and guidelines and has shown slightly less potential than Prospect B.

Then

You have Prospec B, prospect B failed his interview drugtest, showing that he could end up being very prone to company suspensions. He has shown slightly more potential than Prospect A.

Who do you pick?

A college student smoked pot? ZOMG stop the presses! If Harvin got through 3 years in the hellhole that is Gainesville without smoking pot, I’d be worried that he’s a zombie or a robot or something. This should have no effect on our pick.

Steroids are a completely different animal. Matthews and Cushing should be off the list now.

What about Ricky, one of the most notorious druggie in the NFL?

because they are selling themselves as more than they are. The kids smoking weed? So what. More needs to be considered before judgment is passed. Smoking marijuana is illegal, yes, but so is speeding and everyone is guilty of that. I do not think that a couple of college kids smoking the peace pipe is cause for questioning their character. Hell, someone can experiment with cocaine and be elected as President. The roids, however, create a false athlete. In a way the roid head is using false advertisement to enter the NFL, get a big payday, and blow-out their body in a few years like David Boston.

If they failed at tests at the combine it’s not a case of whether it was weed, ’roids, crack or whatever.

It’s the fact that these kids were about to attend the biggest interview of their lives and were dumb enough to keep screwing around when they knew they were going to be tested. That doesn’t just flag up drug issues it also flags up future league suspensions, mug shots and criminal records for similar dumb behaviour.

Like your style Matty

here it is talking to the enemy

I don’t really care about people smoking pot, it’s that it shows they lack self-control and make poor choices. If I told you “Don’t smoke pot, it could literally lose you millions of dollars” (and I guarantee every agent does that) and you didn’t do it, it says a lot about your character. If you can’t control yourself for 6 months with the promise of millions of dollars of reward what will you do once you already have that money?

The only thing wit pot is it leads to suspensions and tells you you have poor jugement and wit Roids thats making you better of a player than you actually are it going to screw everything up for you if you smoke pot you might fall out of the 1st round and depends on who you are you might fall out of th 1st day picks but you fail for roids and they can tell you have been on them for awhile of wat not you might be out of the NFL for good or going to mab get a UFA contract and that aint shit so your screwed there!!
