According to the blood test (the league doesn't usually publish WHAT was used) or the player (that looks like less of a cheater if only using something that enhances the performance of the mind)? Even if it was "only" adderall it's still a banned substance. Not that I lose any respect for Ngata. I doubt there's many players with hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line that don't do whatever possible for an edge (or to even the playing field). | ||

More importantly, the league does not disclose why a player failed a test, nor will they refute what a player claims. That's why everyone claims Adderall. The league can't confirm/deny anything, and to the public, it looks like the league popped some poor sap just for taking his ADD pills rather than injecting gallons of horse steroids throughout the year. | ||

However, drug tests can't distinguish legal stuff like that and Ritalin from illegal amphetamines.

My point is that it doesn't have to be amphetamines for them to claim it is. It can be deer antler spray for all we know or even something more malicious, but we will never find out. It's really dumb. | ||

Demaryius Thomas is readying to join some elite receiving company. With 145 more yards, he'll be only the third receiver in NFL history to enjoy a season with 1,450 yards and 10 touchdowns. The other two names: Jerry Rice and Marvin Harrison. And I was just like that can't be right... so I looked up Megatron's stats and sure enough, he's had 1,450 yards and 10 TDs in two separate seasons. =_= | ||

Moss hit that in his monster year in NE. Owens did it in SF during his peak. I'm positive there are others.

Harrison would have been a stud in his own right without a doubt. Also I just looked it up in nfl reference. When the Broncos got manning, they went from 25th to 2nd in points. That's nuts | ||
