Rumor Going Around ... Haden Failed Drug Test
-
Ruh Roh ... appears to be true.

Multiple sources tell ESPN Cleveland that the NFL is currently reviewing a failed drug test by Browns cornerback Joe Haden that could result in a four-game suspension.
One source said that Haden tested positive for the prescription drug Adderall during a routine, off-season test administered in accordance with the NFL’s policy on anabolic steroids and related substances.
Adderall, which is commonly prescribed to treat attention deficit disorder and narcolepsy, is also used for excessive tiredness. It is on the NFL’s list of banned substances and is classified by the league as a stimulant.
According to sources, Haden has been notified that he tested positive. Under terms of the league policy, a positive test results in a second test from the original sample. If that shows up positive as well, Haden would be suspended for the first four games of the regular season.
Haden can appeal. If upheld, the suspension would cost Haden four game checks. In his case, that would amount to more than $1.356 million.
Per terms of the league policy, Haden also would be ineligible for selection to the Pro Bowl or to receive any other honors or awards from the league or the NFL Players Association for the season in which the violation is upheld.
Safety Tyler Sash of the New York Giants was recently suspended four games by the NFL for testing positive for Adderall.
In a letter to players included as an appendix on the NFL’s policy on anabolic steroids and related substances, the league states, “You and you alone are responsible for what goes into your body. Claiming that you used only legally available nutritional supplements will not help you in an appeal.”
Haden’s agent Drew Rosenhaus, who represents several Browns, visited the team’s training camp practice on Tuesday. He was approached by ESPN Cleveland and declined to comment.
After practice, Haden also declined to comment to an ESPN Cleveland reporter.
Sean Cabble, Haden’s manager, was reached via phone and said, “I am unaware of any situation like that.”
Browns spokesman Neal Gulkis responded in an email, “Don’t know anything about that. Can’t confirm.”
A league spokesman also responded, “We have no comment.”
If Haden is suspended, he would be the fourth starter on the Browns’ defense who would be out for the season opener against Philadelphia on Sept. 9.
The team is already missing defensive tackle Phil Taylor (torn pectoral muscle surgery), linebacker Scott Fujita (league suspension) and linebacker Chris Gocong (torn Achilles tendon surgery).

Our defense doesn't look quite so good anymore.

"Fucking" was used as an adjective, not to call someone a "fucker". You aren't funny.
You aren't very bright.
An adjective describes a noun, the noun in your statement is "God".
-
It literally never fails if this is true.
-
You shouldn't have said that. Thank God is all needed.
If you are going to thank Him, don't call Him a fucker.
Had you said Fuck God, well, you are entitled to your opinion.

God is now a fucker because Joe Haden did in fact fail the drug test.
Why not bring religion into it when I obviously am showcasing my thanks that the rumor wasnt true, which now it apparently is, so it renders the whole thing useless.
People need to chill out.

Here we go again!
And just when despite last season's clusterf*** with the Browns people were starting to get optimistic about this team and the upcoming season, and now this! -

Thanks for the info. Its funny how none can believe anything at first until Espn reports it. Its on Profootball talk also. Somehow the news has been out for 2 days already.

What if he is actually prescribed Adderall? Can he be in trouble then?

No, if it was prescribed then he has a good chance of the suspension being lifted.
Also, if it were upheld it is possible that the suspension could take place during the 2013 season.
Cross our fingers.

Adderall is some good shit. Can't blame Joe for wanting to use it. Top notch performance enhancer. But come on man, get some fake pee or something. Quick fix plus beats a drug test every time.
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -
Adderall is on the NFL banned substances list. I don't think it matters if he had a legal rx or not.
-
Haden was abusing his script like most college kids do. He was trying to get high legally. Idiot.

If you drink beer you are in the same boat. Adderall is legal with a prescription. Also, my grandmother and half the greyhairs in this country abuse the shit out of their opiod prescriptions, so its not just college kids.

Let's get Haden's suspension out of the way during the same time that Taylor is injured.. those are going to be bad games with growing pains for the offense.
Rip the bandaid off quickly, take our medicine and be done with it.
The more labels you have for yourself, the dumber they make you. "When you win, say nothing. When you lose, say less." Paul Brown -
No one on the Browns seems to know about this or are hiding their knowledge. Let's just hope it's the same rumor and shit got blown out of proportion and it's really nothing.
Let's hope.
Please.

Yeah it is, gets you super focused.

For Christ sake. What's with all the hush hush speculation? Either he popped positive or he didn't. Give him his suspension
and move on. Along with our speed freak cornerback our top draft pick is back in Podunk, Alabama seeking guidance from his
family general practioner doctor while some of the countries best orthopedic quacks are a stones throw away from training camp.
4 starters will be on the bench for the season opener and the hits just keep on coming. The Browns drama merry-go-round is getting
old. I could use about 30 mg of adderrall about now. BTW...adderall is better than the date rape drug rophies (?) when it comes to rockin your babe's
panties. just sayin

don't worry! the best offense in the AFC is going to be stepping on the field to put up 24+>our opponents' offensive #'s!
all hail the weedster and travis benjamin!
you couldn't run a shoe factory let alone the browns.
hopefully haslem will just start kicking the fat sludge out the 'land.
