Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 https://sports.yahoo.com/washington-football-team-facility-reportedly-raided-by-feds-head-trainer-ryan-vermillion-placed-on-leave-181651445.html Federal law enforcement reportedly raided the Washington Football Team's INOVA Sports Performance Center last week (Friday week), according to NBC Sports Washington's J.P. Finlay, Grant Paulsen and Julie Carey. It appears to be related to an ongoing criminal investigation involving head athletic trainer and director of sports medicine Ryan Vermillion, who has been placed on administrative leave by the team. https://sports.yahoo.com/mystery-surrounding-raid-on-washington-team-facility-deepens-as-union-says-an-active-nfl-player-has-spoken-to-the-dea-212530489.html As the NFL awaits developments tied to Friday’s federal raid on the Washington Football Team’s practice facility and townhome of head trainer Ryan Vermillion, the players union reached out to a swath of player agents Thursday seeking information on an apparent DEA investigation. The NFLPA sent a letter to player agents on Thursday morning, alerting them to an investigation the union has opened into the raid — in response to what the union believes is a potential issue of player health and safety. In the letter, which was reviewed by Yahoo Sports, the union said at least one active player has been contacted by federal agents in response to a DEA investigation. However, a source familiar with the letter and also the union’s efforts to gather information said federal investigators have sought out more than one active player, although the source declined to give any further specifics. ...... Interestingly, a league source familiar with Friday’s developments said neither the Washington Football Team nor NFL league office was aware of a federal investigation involving Vermillion — despite an active player having been in contact with investigators. The source said the league’s knowledge has been limited to whatever the Washington franchise learned on Friday, before the franchise placed Vermillion on administrative leave. NBC Sports Washington cited sources on Wednesday in a report that the probe into Vermillion was related to “possible diversion of prescription drugs”, but a league source declined to confirm that or whether federal agents were seeking prescription drug information during their search of the WFT facility. “What we know about [the search] is very limited and what the [DEA] is sharing is very little,” the league source said. “Anyone in contact is being advised by investigators and also their own related legal counsel not to speak about any of it. It doesn’t get any more clear.” (search function is broken, scanned first 2 pages, LMK if this was posted elsewhere and I'll merge) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeviF Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 Didn’t this happen like a week ago? The DEA has two main investigation arms that I know of: Special Agents who deal with significant criminal trafficking of drugs and related crimes, and Diversion Investigators who are largely tasked with examining pharmacy and other medical facilities dealings with certain classes of drugs. Diversion Investigators are not law enforcement officers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and it required law enforcement officials to exercise the raid. Edited October 9, 2021 by Don Otreply 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From link above: Quote Washington assistant athletic trainer Doug Quon has been placed on administrative leave, according to John Keim of ESPN. That comes just days after Washington put head athletic trainer Ryan Vermillion on leave amid a DEA investigation. The investigation reportedly centers around the distribution of prescription drugs.

Except with the WFT, they give them to the cheerleaders and ladies at the 'gentleman's club', to promote development in other areas. 🤔 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
