Kenny Vaccaro didn’t realize taking Adderall was against rules

K Major · 01-14-2017, 02:39 PM

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?

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
