Rob E Dangerously 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2003 Four Raiders may be suspended for using THG Stubblefield, Romanowski, Barrett Robbins and Chris Cooper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fökai 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2003 Rams/Bears at 1 on FOX. Lions/Seahawks at 4 on FOX. No idea what's on CBS. credit: Sportsline. For the first time in sports history, professional athletes are facing suspension for testing positive for the controversial designer steroid THG, or tetrahydrogestrinone. The NFL Today and SportsLine.com have learned four Oakland Raiders starters have tested positive for the controversial steroid. The players this week were informed via letter of their positive tests and, pending an appeal, each player faces a four-game suspension by the NFL. Former Pro Bowl defensive tackle Dana Stubblefield, former All-Pro center Barrett Robbins, former Pro Bowl linebacker Bill Romanowski and defensive tackle Chris Cooper are each facing four-game bans for positive tests of THG. According to the league's drug policy, suspensions are not immediate and would not take effect until after a protracted appeal process that could include testing of another sample, as well as a hearing. In addition, the union will fight against such suspensions. Three weeks ago, The NFL Today and SportsLine.com reported, in addition to these four names, others such as Raiders RBs Tyrone Wheatley and Chris Heatherington, former Raider Josh Taves, Chiefs wide receiver Johnnie Morton, Falcons linebacker Artie Ulmer and Patriots special teams Pro Bowl LB Larry Izzo had been subpoenaed to testify in the government's IRS probe of Victor Conte and his Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO). Part of that report included breaking news that previous urine samples from many of those players had been tested by the league for THG -- the centerpiece of one of the biggest steroid scandals in sports history. Sunday's news also marks the first time in history that four players from the same team were all suspended at the same time due to failed drug tests. The NFL is allowed to test for such drugs without the previous permission of the NFL Players Association. However, according to several people close to this situation, the suspensions of the four Raiders might cause a very tense situation between the league and the players union. The union believes the league should not suspend players for any positive samples found in retests. The league, however, has a strict zero-tolerance policy on anabolic steroids. Since an early September raid on Conte's BALCO lab, several sports agencies have begun testing for the controversial drug. The NFL, however, becomes the first major professional sports institution to actually levy a suspension for testing positive for the designer steroid. The furor over THG is spreading to several sports and nations. Major League Baseball this week admitted 5-to-7 percent of its overall steroid tests have returned positive and will now begin to implement banned-steroid testing. Boxing champion Sugar Shane Mosley has also been subpoenaed by the government, which reportedly asked for Mosley's urine sample. Olympic officials said they will test for THG at next summer's Athens Games, while authorities in horse racing, skiing and rugby are also implementing such tests. The International Olympic Committee said it would add tetrahydrogestrinone to the list of banned substances included in its tests at the Aug. 13-29 games. THG already has turned up in the samples of several track-and-field athletes. The International Ski Federation said it will test for THG this season. THG testing was also set to begin at the Rugby World Cup in Australia. Also in Australia, the horse racing industry has added THG to its testing of thoroughbreds' urine. International track and field officials plan to retest previously taken urine samples from the world championships in August, and swimming's world governing body will consider retesting samples from its world championships this summer. The designer steroid flap burst open when Conte was accused by an anonymous track coach of supplying athletes with tetrahydrogestrinone. Conte has denied he is the source of the previously undetectable drug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
