DEA investigating all NFL teams for illegal drug prescriptions

[roy_miami]

Joe Rose wasn't in favor of the concussion lawsuits but he'll be all over this, the Dolphins doctor from the time even sued him already for defamation.

Designed to apply pressure on the owners to force Snyder into capitulating. I'll bet money.

Doctors and Team Trainers will take the fall.

I'm sure Dr. James Andrews is off limits... He is the career savior of many NFL players

Same thing happened to the WWF/WWE back in the late 80's or early 90's, ultimately the doctor/s took the fall. I would expect a similar result here, gonna be a lot of job openings for doctors in the NFL

I recall Dallas & putzburgh being the epicenter of medicinal supplementation back in the 70's

Typical waste of money by a bureaucratic, wheel spinning, organization.

The DEA or the NFL?

Since I work part-time at a pain clinic.

When someone is written a huge amount of narcotics, the person in question is given a urine analysis. The resulting lab report can provide proof that prescriptions are be used in a correct, legal, and therapeutic manner.

Unfortunately, street trafficking of narcotics is serious problem not limited to the pro sports world. The pros sports world is easy target for some fringe players to make side money selling their prescriptions.

Carry on............

It is probably about a wider investigation from the Gonzalez investigation. That guy was probably involved in drugs at all levels. The Patriots could not be dirty, could they?

Actually
The Drug Enforcement Administration’s probe began after attorneys representing about 1,300 NFL retirees filed a lawsuit accusing the league of illegally handing out painkillers

If the Dolphins get caught, I think they should be kicked out of the NFL.
That seems to be the mantra around here.

By your thoery there would be no NFL left as there certainly would be far more than 1 team doing it so if Miami gets kicked out all the other teams doing it would also be kicked out.

Also, how would a subordinant (Godell) fire (kick out) his bosses (owners).

Dude, re-read my post. It was a joke.
