Yeah it's a sham of a system but if they weren't juicing the time missed to injury would be staggering compared to what it is now.

 

The players only have a couple brief periods every year where they have to stay clean.............UNLESS they get caught.

 

This is a really big deal for the last stage of Hopkins career.  

 

Hopefully Diggs doesn't get caught with a bunch of years and dead money left on his deal.

The one that was so obvious was Adrian Peterson. I don't recall and I'm too lazy to look it up. I just remember be came back from a knee injury in an unprecedented short amount of time. It was a clear case of steroid use yet not one person went there. What a joke.

Hmmm. The Cardinals season has utter tire fire written all over it.

Yup. I already had Kingsbury on my hot seat list. Now he moves up a few notches.  Without Hopkins for over a third of the season, and in that division they will be lucky to win 7 games.

Why is there a separate tranquilizer for a beaver? Is there one for each animal?

Wtf

 

 

 

On the Cardinals forum they are saying the beaver tranquilizer was a joke.

 

Also, six games means he got caught masking.

If he wore a captain hat like Darius, would have only been one game.

 

Mistakes were made.

Maybe he took the beaver tranquilizer because he didn’t give a dam? 

As long as the goalposts are not made out of wood, things should go smoothly

Mystery solved:  you're a dumbass Mr. Hopkins!

 

Note how he is very careful to say "never tested positive", not "never used"

NFL does not, and should not care. This is basically an open invite. Players know when the tests are coming. Based on the article below Hopkins popped for something other than HGH, things the league are less lenient on.

 

 

https://www.cnn.com/2017/02/05/health/performance-enhancing-drugs-nfl-investigative-explainer/index.html

 

The NFL, for example, is far less vigorous. Each week during the season, which runs from September to February, the NFLPA randomly selects 10 players per team to be tested for testing.

 

The NFL uses an isoform test, which detects synthetic HGH. But the test has a very short detection window of just 24 to 48 hours. So if a notification is given to a player to test at home, he may have up to 24 hours before having to submit a sample. The USADA, and in turn the UFC, uses a more precise bio marker test that looks for a chemical fingerprint to detect HGH several weeks after usage.

“I think the (NFLPA) would be open to hearing from the league” about bio marker testing, said Atallah.

The USADA can also create a “biological passport” of an athlete by compiling an athlete’s results over time. Such a profile can help identify changes or physiological trends that may occur in an athlete’s body. The NFL destroys a player’s specimens after 90 days, but the USADA can keep them for 10 years. This allows it to test them again with even more precise technology.

The exact words used by every doper in every sport when they’ve been caught…,

This is my reaction, too.  You have to be pretty dumb to get caught, given the way the system works.

 

 

I had a former NFL guard in my training facility a few years ago, and the topic came up while we were taking a break. All he could do was shake his head and laugh at the fact that guys still got caught. He told us that his agent would call him months in advance to tell him when his “surprise” drug test was scheduled.
