Seriously, when will these kids learn that water and football don`t mix?
sauce: NFL prospects fail water test
Summary: the two players listed in the headline "failed" a drug test because their urine was too watery. I`m not sure what to say here other than 'wow'. The only way you can dilute urine like that is by drinking a lot of water, and a lot of athletes are told that if you are not pissing clear than you could be getting dehydrated. Not sure why the NFL would consider this a "failed" drug test as water is not illegal and drinking a lot of it is good for you (too much can flush out vitamins, but still). Shame these kids names are getting drug through the dirt for excessive water.

FOX Sports has learned that more than 10 players were identified to NFL teams as either testing positive for drugs or having a diluted sample in February. The top prospect on the list was Florida State defensive tackle Timmy Jernigan, who is projected as a mid first-round selection. Jernigan tested positive for a diluted urine sample, FOX Sports has learned. Another big name was Louisiana State quarterback Zach Mettenberger. ProFootballTalk.com first reported that Mettenberger tested positive for having a diluted urine sample, which would count as a failed test under the NFL's drug program. Jernigan's agent Sunny Shah declined comment Monday about the failed test when reached by FOX Sports. Mettenberger's agents Joe Linta and Seth Katz told FOX Sports that the diluted sample was caused by extra water his client was drinking on the advice of his doctor. Linta said Mettenberger had begun to suffer from cramping while rehabilitating from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. |
