[mc52beast]

According to the story the sample was "dilute", and the NFL will treat it as a positive test...http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000801347/article/alabama-linebacker-reuben-foster-failed-drug-test-at-combine

If he fell to the 2nd round, which I doubt will happen but you never know with the NFL, I think we would seriously have to consider taking him.  Too much talent.

Assuming we would still have both 2nd round picks.  

[Rastlet]

I've tried to tell you guys he was stupid. 

[heel31ok]

great player...but man what is he thinking?

[SOJA]

He's going to bust not because of talent but because of making good decisions

[Cyclonus]

Special kind of stupid.

[Moorgan]

Apparently he says he was sick before the combine and tried to hydrate excessively causing the diluted sample.

[OldNorthPowell]

Why would he do all this dumb stuff BEFORE the draft. SMH.

[The Huddler]

Testing football players for weed is fu€king stupid

 

 

Legalize that sshit

[panthersphan]

Wait....NFL players smoke weed ?!?!?! ::::::shocking::::::

 

An ld friend of mine used to play for the Red Sox, he told me that Manny, Ellsbury and one other player would get high together before every Spring Training game. I think their careers are/were just fine.

Foster's explanation:

 

Discussing his trying few months, Foster disclosed the test results to NFL.com because, he says, "This is something that's going to get out. I don't make excuses. I'm a real dude. I try to be a good person. ... I just hope the coaches understand and that's all I can hope and pray for." Foster has already been on the phone talking with teams telling them himself.

As for why the test came back dilute, Foster explained in detail. He said he was sick before the combine. He was throwing up, had diarrhea, couldn't keep anything down and was cramping. One adviser offered to have a doctor put him on IVs to hydrate, but he didn't want that. He saw a doctor, got some medication and started hydrating himself.

Foster believes it was food poisoning.

"I couldn't eat much, but I had to drink water and Gatorade," said Foster, who began the process as the consensus top linebacker based on his game tape and measurables. "Then a few coaches said something about me being too light. And I'm a coach-pleaser. I don't care what everybody thinks, but I care what coaches think. So I drank and ate as much as I could without throwing up. Then I went in there, drinking and drinking water, trying to flush out my system from whatever was making me sick and trying to keep my weight up and took the test."

The result was the diluted test, Foster says.

And more stress, along with questions about his draft stock. Foster knows this will likely negatively affect where he's selected.

"If it's first round, second round, whoever takes me will get a good football player and an All-Pro," Foster said. "I hope I go on Thursday, but I can't control that."
