uncle flap Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I sent in a question about the Merriman rumor. If nobody else did, then I bet it was in response to that. i've asked a few as well on that topic, and i think youre right
Mike In Illinois Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 (edited) Moran: Story A definite non-committal on the apparent non-story. A lot of vague-ness. Edited August 18, 2011 by Champaign Mike
BillsRUs Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 oh crap morans officially reporting it now http://www.buffalosportsdaily.com/breaking-merriman-recently-busted-with-steroids/
Mike In Illinois Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 He was not arrested or booked for anything wrong.
BillsRUs Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 One of you twitter ppl should ask on the journalists currently at practice to ask Merriman or Chan or someone to comment

Reed83HOF Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 What a non-story. Can't believe I have wasted time on this... Although I did get a lot of people with the Pixie guy
BUFFALOTONE Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 testing for HGH only takes 24-48 hours for results...even if it wasn't in his urine or blood stream....the test of the pills gets back to you in less than 14 days, which reports have it at July 31st/August 1st as the latest date. Side note: HGH is out of your system completely after 24 hours of no use, that is blood and urine.
BeastMode54 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 If true, does Merriman get suspended? Also, since he wasn't arrested, as I posted earlier, and if this is true, could Moran actually be breaking this and it casues the Bills to punish and/or release him?
Meark Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 This is great.. so the headline is Merriman Recently Busted With Steroids.. then in the article is says he was not arrested since possession of steroids isn't technically illegal.. so how was he "busted"? "I’m reporting that according to a reliable source close to the situation, Buffalo Bills linebacker Shawne Merriman was busted for carrying steroids near the United States border late Thursday night, July 28 on the eve of Bills’ training camp. According to the source, while trying to cross Canada back into the United States, Merriman was detained by United States Customs shortly after 2:00am. There, the source tells me steroids were found in his possession. He was not arrested and booked because from what I’m told, simply being in the possession of the substance is not technically illegal."
DrDawkinstein Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 I commented on the article, but I doubt it's going to make it through moderation and onto the page...

Captain Caveman Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Proof positive! http://twitter.com/#!/shawnemerriman/status/103082108225978368 @shawnemerriman Shawne Merriman LAST DAY: giving away 1 year worth of supplements today. Vote 4 Musclepharm at bit.ly/pUgCqG & retweet this to enter. #musclepharm If this rumor turns out to be true, he has some brass ones posting this today.
GOBILLS78 Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 What a non-story. Can't believe I have wasted time on this... Although I did get a lot of people with the Pixie guy Yes. Yes you did. I considered reposting it as "oh crap, now schefter really is tweeting it," but I would have felt that hand of God from the board. Haha.
Erik Flowers Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 What a non-story. Can't believe I have wasted time on this... Although I did get a lot of people with the Pixie guy How is a Bills player being caught at the border with steroids a non-story? He's looking at a suspension. Any steroid is a controlled substance in NY, even if it isn't in Canada. I don't know the CBA in relation to banned substances inside out, but I would be shocked if they are allowed to possess banned substances even if they don't use them. What's he gonna say - I was gonna sell them, not take them? Maybe that's why poor Maybin showed up so far under weight - he was waiting for Merriman to make a special delivery.
Mike In Illinois Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Side note: HGH is out of your system completely after 24 hours of no use, that is blood and urine. Did I read correctly that the NFL is testing for HGH on game-days? It would make sense for the league to do it then.
RuntheDamnBall Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 Didn't we want merriman back on the steroids?
DrDawkinstein Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 If this rumor turns out to be true, he has some brass ones posting this today. He posted that 3 days ago.
Kelly the Dog Posted August 18, 2011 Posted August 18, 2011 So busted for illegal drugs is not carrying anything illegal and not being busted?
