I think this thing is nothing but a huge joke. Whats next they won't be able to drink gatorade because it has water and can mess up a drug test? Lets get the damn politics out of football and just play the damn game. Imagine the players we wouldn't have been able to watch thru the years if these rules were in effect back then. The old packers wouldn't have been from all the boozing and fights they would get in.
It is getting sickening now the guys can take a diet supplement because it could mask drugs gimmie a fricken break the guys are fat. I say watch out AP you say you want to gain weight you might eat the wrong thing. I'm starting to wonder how much of the NFL is rigged and they have the teams picked to be winners.

I have a tendency to agree with this, Dave. I don't think it quite fair if these guys do incur a suspension... but at the same time there is a big part of this story that is very overlooked, especially by the Vikes fans over at P.P.O.
Like I said, I don't really give a shit if they are suspended or not, but those Starcaps are known amongst the cognoscenti in weight lifting/'roid world as a semi-decent masking agent for 'roids. They are for women, btw... weight-loss- wise... And almost universally panned as worthless for weight loss. They are also renowned as a good test beater for other substances, specifically POT. It isn't even hard to figure out if you look at ALL of the guys that got busted for having them.
I looked into this heavily last year (It's where I first read about that kid that killed himself while the assholes mocked him) -- that was in a "'roids" section--largely, anyway--- of a fitness forum.
I cannot believe for one second that a professional athlete is unknowingly ingesting those particular pills for the efficacy of weight loss--- The hollywood-types were--but they are morons, imo.
NFL did a poor job in their dissemination of their policy regarding these particular pills. It was somewhat ambiguous. The cynic in me thinks that this very loophole was considered long before a single pill was popped.
