    At some point, you would start to learn to say no a little, wouldn't you?

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Vikings running back Onterrio Smith, who has a history of violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy, was briefly detained by airport police last month after they found an elaborate kit used to beat drug tests.

    Police at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport questioned Smith on April 21 after a search of his bag discovered vials of white powder, according to a police report.
    Smith told officers it was dried urine used in conjunction with a device called "The Original Whizzinator," which he said was "for making a clean urine test." In addition, he had a bottle of pills labeled "cleansing formula."

    Smith told police he was taking the kit to his cousin. The police report didn't say where Smith was traveling.

    Minnesota Vikings coach Mike Tice told the Star Tribune, which first reported the story Wednesday, that he didn't know about Smith being detained and had no comment.

    On Wednesday, a Vikings spokesman had no comment. Smith's agent, Douglas Hendrickson, didn't immediately return a message left at his office.

    NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said league rules state that failing to cooperate with a drug test was the same as failing it, but he wasn't sure whether there was any penalty for possessing a device designed to beat such a test.

    Smith was suspended last season for four games after testing positive for marijuana. It was his second "strike" in the NFL's substance-abuse program. He would earn a yearlong suspension for a third violation.

    In 2000, Smith was kicked out of Tennessee for using marijuana. He finished his college career at Oregon. Smith rushed for 579 yards as a rookie and led the Vikings last season with 544 yards.</div>

    Some people just never learn, they like to keep pushing until they cant push anymore. I dont understand why someone would want to jeopardize a professional football career in the NFL, I know I wouldnt want to.

    Well, this should make it easier to determine who starts this season...

    I got to wondering....either this kit is new to Onterrio, or it isn't a good kit (considering he's had two strikes already).

    Michael Irvin then came to mind when I was thinking about who else was good at cheating drug tests. He must have had the "platinum" version of the product.

    Man this sucks. I was hoping "Puff Puff Give", Onterrio Spliff would take over this year. I think they'll just cut him.

    Hmm.....I actually looked at this kit. I think Smith should show what he had at a press conference and apologize and that should be punishment enough. He had to be embarrassed in front of security. The jokes in the locker room are going to kill him.

    For those interested, you can check it out, but watch your back for privacy first.
