I am sure some stick in the mud will babble about how its illegal (ridiculous) and blah blah blah
Would I want Flacco hitting the bong Micheal Phelps style ...prob not. That said suspending them 4 games seems a bit goofy for the equivalent of having a beer.
Then there's drugs like cocaine, heroin, and prescription painkillers that leave the system in a matter of days. So if you smoke pot a lot, you better wait a month before you even consider taking a drug test. But if you have an opiate addiction all you need is 3-4 days. Stupid, but that's just how the body works.

If this is for weed, then its absolutely ridiculous.

Yes, 105.7 fm was just saying last week the Ravens had hi hopes for this dude. Ed Reed worked with him before he was drafted and then afterwards. He was like Reed's protege. He had much promise.
What an ass hole if true.

Quoting Aaron W in his article linked earlier
"We have been aware of this situation for some time," Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome said in a statement.
I'd assume it is THC, and that he had a positive test before.
Also assume that his current tests are done with gas chromatography which are far more sensitive than urine. You can pass a urine test with 50 nanograms/ml but have to be under 15 nanograms/ml for the GC.
Takes a lot longer to get "clean" and even if you are not smoking but at a party where others are, or your girlfriend smokes in bed....
Yes bonehead for sure! but I'm reserving judgement..
If nothing else he is now camp fodder and a free roster spot for 4 weeks.
I'll be watching to see if James Ihedigbo is the starter at SS and who backs up Huff at FS.... in short I will be sniffing for clues as to the FO intentions to cut bait as soon as they can, or to just have plan B/C ready in case. Don't have a clue if they are actively looking to get rid of him or passively looking to replace him (at least not yet, but the quote says Ozzie knew for some time, so plans are in place)

I thought this happened last year, but because he got injured the games he will miss have been moved to the following season. Is this a NEW failure making it his second? :thumbdown:

Thompson hasn't had any "performance" to "enhance" up to this point... Bc
