TheGift Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 http://www.jacksonville.com/tu-online/stories/103107/jag_213794344.shtml NFL to suspend Marcus Stroud By MICHAEL C. WRIGHT, The Times-Union The Jaguars expect to receive notification from the league soon that defensive tackle Marcus Stroud will be suspended four games for violating the NFL's steroids and related substances policy, the Times-Union has learned from sources, who requested anonymity because of the hefty fines the league could impose for disclosing information relating to its drug policy. Stroud's positive test came from "taking some supplements," according to a league source. His 'A' sample came back positive last week, and per the drug policy, Stroud exercised the right to have his 'B' sample tested on Monday. According to a league source, Stroud is not likely to appeal the suspension. An appeal might allow Stroud to play in the club's next few games. But if Stroud were to lose the appeal, he could be out of action for several key late-season games. The suspension could go into effect as soon as Sunday, when the club travels to New Orleans to play the Saints. The Jags expect to receive notification from the NFL by Friday and at the latest, early next week. Jaguars officials declined to comment about the possible suspension, citing confidentiality terms of the NFL's drug policy. In anticipation of Stroud's absence, the Jaguars on Tuesday, signed free agent nose tackle Grady Jackson, who was released last week by the Falcons, to a one-year deal. Jackson was released last week by the Atlanta Falcons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjfootballer Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Can anyone explain to me why these athletes don't 1) stay away from anything marked supplements or 2) have a lab test the contents of the supplements before taking them or 3) ask the NFL to do a test of the supplements before taking them? How friggin dumb are these guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
