If you read the twitter it watched the video, he says it was an estrogen blocker that he has taken for years...so we actually DO know what he tested positive for.

I don’t know why he would take an estrogen blocker.....as one poster already said, diuretics and estrogen blockers are common to try and mask steroids.  Again, don’t know if this is what he was doing, but it is strange.

I know it was an estrogen blocker, but I know that binders and ingredients can be changed. I was on a medication for years with no problems then had an allergic reaction because the manufacturer changed the binder and I didn't know it. If this was a second or third time, I'd be more suspicious, for now, meh.

Agreed....very surprising that it was not caught until now.  Either the ingrediants of it were changed (very possible)....or that it is BS and TD does not want to own it.

i am hoping it is the first.

Not appealing says differently to me. He admitted guilt. Yes in his language he was pretty adiment, of his ego. But I can’t see how you say he didn’t own it.

to me this looks like a guy quickly trying to repair his image or to minimize any damage to it. 

 

I dont think his motives are as genuine as you think.

Was it on the approved supplement list? That's all that matters. The NFL makes it very clear that the player is responsible for what he puts into his body and that's why they provide a list of supplements that have been verified by an outside lab to be free of any and all banned substances. If TD can provide proof that he was taking one of these supplements and it was indeed tainted then maybe he has a case. But, since he's not even bothering to appeal IMO that says everything that needs to be said. He either A) knows he's guilty or B) knows he has no case.

If not mistaken, estrogen blockers are usually taken by athletes because their testosterone levels are way too high thus bringing their estrogen levels high at the same time.  This is normally done because someone is taking extra testosterone.  Not sure where all this lands in the banned substance area, but I think this is what normally happens

This situation should hit home for all Panthers fans that our core is rapidly dwindling while our division improves around us. Especially the Saints.

This is why you don't make excuses for offseason ineptitude. We should have done more to fill out our roster in 2016 and 2017. I hope we can do enough this year to stay in contention at least.

He is an aging player...coming of multiple injuries that should have been career ending...trying to hold on for his last few seasons and make millions.  I don’t blame him even if he was taking something and trying to cover it up with an estrogen blocker.  It is a business and it is millions of dollars.

Like I said earlier in this thread, estrogen blockers and diuretics are probably the two most commonly used substances to mask steroids on a drug test and it's the primary reason why those substances are banned by organizations that test for steroids.

Yeah everyone wants to say why I'm so down. Well guess what it's because damn Gettleman didn't do anything to make this team better. We are in really bad shape and everyone that thinks different can keep wishing for nothing.

I read it, I just didn't now if testosterone and steroids counted the same with the NFL

I'm honestly not THAT worried about our "core". Shaq was drafted to replace TD. Larsen filled in fine for Kalil last year and honestly Kalil probably should've been released this off-season. The two big exceptions are TE and DE. We have nothing behind Olsen at TE and we definitely need some young talent at DE.

      Refs are dildos, PP got no motion, and First Shot Freddie reared it's ugly head again. That said we are outplaying them, so far. Need to clean up the turnovers. But, if we stick to our game, we should beat this team.

      Would you draft a pass rusher or draft one?

      By Jmac · Posted

      The biggest need on defense is a finding a pass rush. Picking 19th makes it tough to get a blue chipper. Trey hendickson or Maxx Cosby would obviously provide fire power. Would you invest the $$$ to bring either one in or pull a trade, or is their a 2nd tier guy you would target? Hu If not, what later first round edge rusher would you target. Trading up to get the guy if possible? What u got

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Here we go again with wasting 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round picks on offensive lineman. 2 free agents. 1 high football IQ leader in the 2nd or 3rd round for the interior. Two Day 3 starters. Stop wasting draft capital or be left behind. [if they enter free agency or the draft] Braden Smith in free agency or draft Carter Smith, Brian Parker II (leader), or Isaiah World. Take the one that slips. I know some are going to go after Carter Smith's arm length, but I'd rather have him with his fierce grip and control of lighter speed rushers than a top 10 pick LT waist bender on skates. If Bryce stays and needs to rely on popping out of the pocket to win games, then you need a Carter Smith or Brian Parker who can redirect a pass rusher at the rusher's hips. The lack of control by Ekwonu and Moton on their pass rushers change of direction is what always frustrated Bryce stepping up in the pocket. They are leverage tackles for a pocket passer that ride the pass rusher out.  Carter and Parker can create passing lanes for a QB who wants to step up, pop pass, and escape. Draft Carter Smith and Brian Parker if they fall. Then trade Moton and place Brian Parker at LT and Carter Smith at RT. Could it be possible to flip Moton for picks that get you both of these tackles with 2 picks? I know fans would hate even entertaining this, but if you want Bryce to win, he needs to rely on his limited but highly effective skills. If you don't like these options, you may as well just stick with Yosh and Brady at LT. The pool and projections will shape up in the next 2 months, but I hope this front office stops making the classic mistakes of losing the draft capital battle that a dynasty must win. Save the 1st and 2nd round picks for core defensive players.
