Kenny Vaccaro didn’t realize taking Adderall was against rules
 

Saints safety Kenny Vaccaro apologized for letting down his teammates, but admitted he didn’t realize he was doing something against the rules when he took Adderall, failed a PED test and was suspended for four games.

Vaccaro told Mike Triplett of ESPN.com that he wasn’t trying to take the stimulant for performance-enhancing reasons, unless you mean trying to enhance his weekend. He said he took it during the Saints bye weekend, when he was in Dallas watching his brother play in the Texas-Oklahoma game.

Maybe he'll check before taking anything in future.

He couldnt just ring a Coach or teammate and ask?

That's our leadership right there folks!

He's full of crap, he knew. They all know.

FIFY

How could I know it was against the rules and he not?

Re: Kenny Vaccaro didn’t realize taking Adderall was against rules
 

Because you read everything to do with football. I'll bet he doesn't.

You know that for sure? I would venture to bet that the majority of young NFL players don't know the entirety of rules. These kids just want to play.

that's they're job, not mine, not ours. It is his job to know it, and to a larger extent it is a function of the HC. Another fail by SP

Bullcrap. There isn't a head coach in the NFL that monitors what players know about drug policies. That is so low level. But, yes, it is the player's job to know, but I am sure many, if not most, are only concerned with maximizing doing what they can do on the field to remain on the roster. These are kids. I have sons older.

You are a coach in the NFL? How the F do you know? Man you pretend to know a lot about things you have absolutely no idea about.

If the rules are that confusing and difficult to follow it is the coaches job to make sure his players are not getting suspended and are on the field. Low energy needs to do a better job making sure his players are informed so they can be on the field like they're supposed to.

Oh wait, NM, he is suspended because it is the Adderall's fault.
