Foster failed drug test

You drink enough water to saturate your urine, diluting out the contaminates so they will be less concentrated.

it can also mean adding chemicals to the sample or taking diuretics or other drugs to mask the urine or produce a diluted sample.
SOP for this is retesting in an hour and the most likely reasoning is that he was intentionally trying to hide something.
Though it is possible that it was accidental IE he was nervous and drank too much water. Unfortunately he was kicked out of the combine for threatening violence against the staff. likely the same staff doing this particular testing.
Now instead of just popping hot for THC he has a diluted sample as his only sample which is much more likely to be an attempt at hiding something than it is to be a anomaly combined with the fact he lost his chance to retest because of his attitude problems. It all adds up to serious character issues. What if he were hiding Cocaine or Methamphetamine or Prescription Pills. These are now a possibility that teams need to consider when drafting foster as some of the worse case scenarios.
I would feel A LOT better about drafting Foster if it were just a Pot failure.

Considering that gordon's 2013 season was better than any season a vast majority of our 1st rd picks have ever logged.... out I'm ok with the 2nd they dropped on him.

While that is indisputable, would you spend the 2nd again knowing you will only get 1 year out of the guy?

It's better than spending a 2 on Massoquai or Robiskie. It isn't that it's an ideal situation, it's that given the Browns draft record, Gordon was still far more successful than a lot of guys who had longer,shittier careers.
-
Yea, maybe he will slip to #33. Though, fact is, Browns are better off at ILB than just about any other position on the field except along the OL now.
If he could play OLB/DE/DT it would be better.

I guess I don't see how in the world a diluted sample can be counted as a positive. I mean, I drink a BUNCH of water every day, and I'm pretty sure my sample would be diluted. Just seems strange.

Well for that one day you have to drink juice I guess. And by juice I don't mean roids.

Haha. Kinda like the 'she didn't let me cum, but at least she let me in' argument.
Right now drafting Foster sounds like when I tell you Jessica Alba is going to give you a hand job with sandpaper gloves.

Hell if he falls to 33 ....BOOM ...do it

It could still be worth it to let Jessica Alba give me a hand job with sandpaper.

I guess it depends on the grit.

A little sand on the lips wouldn't be a big problem.

Can someone explain what a diluted sample means? I remember Josh Gordon had one (I think) and it was because he had something called "dilute" in his system, that can be used as a masking agent. From what I read about Foster, it sounded more like his urine sample was diluted and not strong enough? I'm confused. If a sample wasn't "strong enough", wouldn't they just test again an hour later?

OK, I worked in a hospital lab for many years. "Dilute" is measured by a thing called specific gravity. It's weight\volume, and pure water is the standard = 1.000 . Ha, to digress- lead is around 11.0, meaning a given volume of lead is 11X heavier than the same volume of water. "Normal" specific gravity of urine is around 1.010 to 1.030, though it can go higher (dehydrated) or lower (diabetics). I don't know what the NFL cutoff is, but I would flag anything lower than 1.003 as "suspicious". 1.000 definitely- someone is peeing pure water.

story reads it was a diluted failure test caused by a food poisoning drug Foster took..Is that possible? cranberry tablets/ or juicing cranberry diluted a friends tests she failed..Is this a better possibility? Hate to see the Doc's office that cost him a few Million..

It means you would've failed the test.
This guy is off our board.

could be taking diuretics to flush contaminants out....
right before the draft... I don't believe that happens by accident.

Regarding cranberry- nothing in that stuff I'm aware of that could cause a failure. If the drug he was taking was a diuretic (makes you pee a lot) and you're drinking a lot of water- possible. But if that was Foster's problem- easy enough to show the powers that be your prescription bottle- and that would solve the problem. Smells a little of Haden getting busted for adderal, and Josh getting reamed for purple drank. (Which is phenergan + codeine) I can tell you from personal experience in it's legit use, it's the best cough medicine out there. But, get your hands on some, swill an entire bottle of it, wash it down with 4-5 doubles of whiskey- you're going to get a hell of a buzz off it.

There are a lot of reasons one would have a diluted test....and, for sure, weed smokers are plentiful in this league......JG seems to be the only one who ever lost years based upon petty drug test fails....cough syrup.....microscopic traces of weed.....a drink with his buddies......his suspensions are unprecedented, actually.....
So....dont know why Foster had a diluted test(probably weed).....but it doesnt concern me too much......EXCEPT the fact that now he will be a one strike in the league drug protocol.....which makes him one step closer to a suspension than everybody else......
Basically starting in the hole(ala Gordon).....
But, Id still strongly consider picking him at 12.....even though he's a prick, plays a position of less need and might smoke dope.....just think he's that good.....
