I am sure you have all heard by now that they have busted several NFL players for the using a weight loss tool called diuretic. There are some big names on that list such as Deuce McAllister, Will Smith both from the New Orelans Saints, reportedly both Pat and Kevin Williams from the Vikings are on the list as well.
I guess the one positive thing is that its not a steroid bust that they are dealing with, rather something with weight lost which begs the question, how much pressure are these guys under to keep their weight at the same level? At first, I was like maybe teams are asking to much but then I realized this is their job so who gives a damn, they should have a focus losing weight.
The four I listed are all big name players for their respective teams and if the Vikes lose the Williams' boys in the middle then they can kiss the playoffs goodbye and if they Saints lose Deuce, it might not be as severe but still Pierre Thomas is expected to carry the load with Reggie Bush also out.
I dont look at this as a "Shame on so-so" because weight-loss is a tough thing but its too bad they had to go to extremes to get the results they needed. Now if they were using this to hide substances they were taking, thats a whole another story.
