Up to four New Orleans Saints tested Positive
for something on a "banned substance list." Heard on local radio. Deuce Mcalister, Will Smith and maybe two others.

3. Barry Bonds is providing illegal substances to football players?
Damn. Probably getting rid of his stash cause he ain't gonna need it anymore.

Actually I hope whomever has been cited does the right thing, accept responsibility and punishment. Its really not that hard a thing to do.

New Orleans Saints veterans Deuce McAllister and Will Smith reportedly are among several players who have violated the NFL steroids policy.

Fox 31 television in Denver, citing an unnamed source, reported Friday there are between six and 10 positive tests in the NFL for a weight-loss diuretic. The only names the station mentioned were the two Saints, who are in London for Sunday’s game with the San Diego Chargers.

ESPN.com, citing two unnamed sources, reported the number is more than 10 and may exceed 15.


<snip>

The Fox 31 report said three or four of the positive tests belonged to the Saints, and that McAllister and Smith tested positive for Bumetanide.

A “water pill,” Bumetanide decreases the amount of water retained in the body by increasing urination. It causes the kidneys to get rid of unneeded water and salt from the body into the urine.

9. They should get off on a technicality
nothing ingested by any member of the '08 'Aints could possibly be considered a "performance-enhancing substance"! :P

10. I do appreciate the irony
as if having them sit out four games is gonna hurt the team. Deuce says he didn't do anything illegal. I have a hard time understanding how a player can say they didn't know such and such a substance was on an NFL LIST OF BANNED SUBSTANCES.

Gonna have a touch of frost on the northshore tomorrow morning my friend. Think I'll swing down to the quarter on thursday for a little Halloween eve reverie.
