    The hearinmg was early today and went on for a few hours. No decision has been made yet. The mystery substance is Aphetamines.

    I pulled the following off the 'net

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Wikipedia)</div><div class='quotemain'>Amphetamine (alpha-methyl-phenethylamine), also known as speed, is a synthetic stimulant used to suppress the appetite, control weight, and treat disorders including narcolepsy and Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. It is also used recreationally and for performance enhancement (these uses are illegal in most countries)...

    Amphetamines are usually not used by athletes in sports involving extreme cardiovascular efforts, as methamphetamine and amphetamine put a great deal of additional stress on the heart.

    The United States Air Force uses amphetamines (Dexedrine) as stimulants for pilots, calling them "go-pills." After a mission, the Air Force issues a "no-go pill" (Ambien) to help the pilot sleep.</div>
    I can only wonder if this has something to do not with conditioning but RW's social anxiety disorder? It seems highly unlikely that somone into yoga & natural healing would need a "boost".

    Saban is supporting Ricky. I just hope this isn't a witch hunt given Ricky's prior history. If it were marijuana then I understand, but, this seems somewhat petty IMO. Only time will tell

    Seems pretty lame that a weight loss pill like Dexatrim could get you banned from the NFL...

    Ricky's said all along that this is a misunderstanding. I'm guessing he honestly took some over the counter medication and it screwed up his screening.

    And here I thought he might have been eating lemon poppy seed muffins... [​IMG]
