The-Hogs.net - Washington Football Discussion, Redskins to Commanders Era

I was referring to "gravity value less than 1.003 and a creatinine concentration of less than 20 mg/dL" portion.

I was remembering wrong about the energy drinks.

Im sure one could find some way to replace the creatinine levels in there system if one did enough research.

Urine dilution is a tactic that is often employed by individuals to mask use of certain drugs. Dilute urine, therefore, is a red flag for a suspicious sample, and gives the league a reason to look futher.

It does not mean a dirty specimen or player. The league knows that a certain number of clean players are going to get caught in this. That's why there is no real punitive implication for a Stage One level result.

Given the same test, depending upon the time taken, I would very likely raise the same flags... I drink a lot of coffee, soda, and water. I guarantee you, however, I would not have any illicit substance in my system.

Washington has endured endless follow-up tests through the winter... and remains negative.

Read the damned article, people.

Move along... nothing to see here. Just a slow news day...

Just one comment:

If they could do accurate long-range testing on, for instance, cocaine users, that is, that they could detect its use more than a few days or weeks out, Lawrence Taylor would have been thrown out of the NFL on his ear during the 1980s and early 90s. Funny how Dexter Manley got busted, but Taylor had a HOF career despite being "tuned up" every game. Crazed dogs my arse, this guy was coked out all of the time. Everything was moving in slow motion for him.

No Taylor, no Giants super bowls and no Parcells being considered an iconic coach, IMHO. Taylor was a huge problem for every offense. You couldn't block him. He was scary and it was incredible how he never got busted for it while in the NFL, but years after. I don't think that was an accident.
