Who is the Sudafed Head?

Ingram, he's got a cold again

Inquiring minds do want to know...

Why do you feel it is your duty to share lies like that? People come to this forum to learn things and that is just plain false. I know you think you're being funny and/or clever, but all you are doing is falsely smearing the reputation of one of the most outstanding characters on the roster. Two fellow Saints players (Bushrod and Strief) have both implied publicly in interviews that Ingram was the victim of taking a normally safe supplement that had been contaminated by trace elements of a banned substance. It had nothing to do with Sudafed according to ANY source beyond a member here on Black & Gold that mentioned Sudafed being one of the several items on the "banned list" that could receive a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) from the league.

Either you are too lazy to read enough to know you are in error or you think that your weak attempts at humor justify spreading lies.

That's a really long post. No, you brought up Sudafed. Until you I had never heard the Sudafed excuse. But since then I've run with it

Nope. Actually I did in the Ingram suspension post. I made reference that former Saints Deuce & Shanle spoke on WWL how flawed the "system" was & how even using cold medicines such as Sudafed (contains pseudoephedrine - banned under the PED policy) can get you suspended by the league.

That explains it then. You must be too lazy to read with any comprehension. I knew I wasn't the one that brought up Sudafed in the discussion.

Please think before you spread negativity about our players. I think it was Bushrod that said in his interview that there are four or five players every year that get hit with a suspension based on taking the same supplement that many other players take and which is supposedly approved by the league. It is just bad luck that the batch that they used was cross contaminated with trace elements of an NFL banned substance. The vast majority of that supplement goes out to the general public so it isn't known the contamination even exists unless someone such as an athlete gets tested for the substance.

If this indeed was what happened it was just plain crappy luck. This would also explain why Ingram would have fought the test results "vigorously" and should most likely appeal the suspension length through a third party arbiter.
