clownorg Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Per ESPN............A number of NFL players -- including Deuce McAllister and Will Smith of the New Orleans Saints -- have tested positive under the NFL's steroid policy as a result of taking water pills to lose weight, according to a report from Fox 31-Denver reporter Josina Anderson. McAllisterSmithAnderson's report cited "a rash of positive tests." The number is more than 10 and may exceed 15, two sources have told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen. Attorney David Cornwell told Mortensen he has been retained by "a number of players" to represent them in the NFL appeals process, but Cornwell wouldn't say who those players were or the exact number who have retained his legal services. Smith's listed agent, Joel Segal, was not immediately available to comment, according to Fox 31-Denver. A representative for McAllister's agent, Jim Steiner, said the agent would call that station back. Under the NFL's steroid policy, a player's first positive test results in a four-game suspension. According to Anderson's report, McAllister and Smith are part of a group that tested positive for a diuretic known as Bumetanide. Others tested positive for a different substance. "Most of them tested positive for Bumetanide," said the league source, according to Fox 31-Denver. "The last few tested positive for another substance that works similarly." A source told Fox 31-Denver that Bumetanide "can also mask the use of other drugs or steroids." Bumetanide is a drug belonging to a group of medicines called loop diuretics or "water pills." Its uses include the treatment of fluid retention and swelling caused by medical conditions such as congestive heart failure, liver disease, and kidney disease, Fox 31-Denver reported.

sporkdevil Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 :mellow: So you're thinking they'll be out by the time they play us???Usually they are quickly suspended. They can appeal, and I think that is when they test a 2nd one. I think.But no way they make it until past our November 9th game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ki46dinah Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I just want to CLARIFY FOR EVERYONE...THEY DIDNT TEST FOR STEROIDS.They tested positive for a loop diuretic, which is nothing like an anabolic steroid in any form or fashion.Loop diuretics are banned in the NFL, so it is a banned substance, NOT A STEROID.

Shaud Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I'm not going to put a win in the win column yet but that game does look a lot easier without Deuce and Bush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Affonso Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I think that we need to hope that none of our guys are on any of those lists before we worry about the Saints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celtiksage Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 So no Duece, No Bush, and No Smith, with possibly no Stecker. Man, we should be able to thrash them in 3 weeks. I'd say that by then, Shock should be out as well. They might have to forfeit.celtik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
