I'm not so concerned about the legality, just the timing.

Doc Posted April 18, 2020 Posted April 18, 2020 1 hour ago, Victory Formation said: He has an unreal skill set. One of the better LT prospects I’ve seen in quite some time, he has everything he needs to be an elite tackle but failing a drug test takes him down a few notches in my book. It shows that he has a lazy and undisciplined mind on some level. He’s looking at the biggest payday of his life and he’s more concerned with getting high. Just a really lazy effort on his part. Who knows? Maybe he wants to drop down to a better team? Still a red flag nonetheless. It also hints at not being able to make correct choices in life. Especially once he's making millions of dollars. 1

Good to see the league recognizes the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide abuse, it kills thousands every year. dihydrogen monoxide - it kills hundreds each year. Particularly children. It’s no joke. when used properly it can help athletes, but I can see why they test for abuse. Edited April 18, 2020 by Over 29 years of fanhood 1

Failed drug tests can keep you from getting a job many places in this country. As others have said - if you know you're being tested - they do - and you use anyway, you are some combination of stupid, addicted, and don't care enough about your prospective career which will pay you millions if you dedicate yourself to it.

His problem was that he drank too much water in attempt to artificially raise his weight and draft stock. This caused his urine sample to be dilluted, which is a yellow flag, as it is a way to not get caught with certain drugs. Now it could be that he is lying about the purpose of drinking the water, but we don't know that. Innocence until proven guilty and all that. I'd believe he is trying to raise his weight. He is a big lighter compared to other LB's. I would like to know what Becton tested postive for. Would love him to fall to us!

Putting on 10 pounds for a smaller Lb isn't a bad idea. Assuming he has normal cardiac and renal function, he would have to be chugging the gallon of water as he is walking to the scale. And it's 8.5 pounds. He would still be a small LB at 6'2" 246lbs.

He knew he was going to get tested and did not have the self-control to stay off the pot for a while. Maybe a million dollar or so hit. Should you count on him in other ways? Quote Urine testing According to Mayo Clinic Proceedings, weed is detectable in urine for the following amounts of time after last use: Occasional users (up to three times a week): 3 days Moderate users (four times a week): 5 to 7 days Chronic users (daily): 10 to 15 days Chronic heavy users (multiple times a day): more than 30 days Cannabis metabolites are fat-soluble, which means they bind to fat molecules in your body. As a result, it can take some time for them to leave your system . https://www.healthline.com/health/how-long-does-weed-stay-in-your-system#detection-time-by-drug-test 1
