Failed drug test Title: Re: Wes Welker Suspended Post by: EKnight on September 02, 2014, 10:06:48 pm Interestingly, I've read that it was Adderall and that it was MDMA. Wonder who's got the accurate info? -EK
Title: Re: Wes Welker Suspended Post by: EDGECRUSHER on September 02, 2014, 10:43:02 pm I heard amphetamines and Welker's camp is just saying it was Molly as a cover. Of course, "I was doing drugs so I can enjoy Tiesto" isn't much of a cover.

Wonder who's got the accurate info? -EK Who cares. Either way he's suspended for breaking the rules Title: Re: Wes Welker Suspended Post by: Tenshot13 on September 03, 2014, 06:46:53 am I had him on two of my fantasy teams. Asshole.
Title: Re: Wes Welker Suspended Post by: EKnight on September 03, 2014, 08:53:27 am Who cares. Either way he's suspended for breaking the rules I'm guessing his teammates and the Broncos care. Failing a drug test for having a legal drug in your system that may be helping a medical condition- one that is possibly worse since you've had 3 concussions in a year- and failing a test because you're taking recreational drugs isn't exactly the same thing. Comparing Adderall and X. No idea where to go with that. -EK Title: Re: Wes Welker Suspended Post by: Rich on September 03, 2014, 09:23:54 am I had him on two of my fantasy teams. Asshole. I hope you didn't invest a high pick on him. Title: Re: Wes Welker Suspended Post by: Phishfan on September 03, 2014, 09:38:59 am Interestingly, I've read that it was Adderall and that it was MDMA. Wonder who's got the accurate info? -EK Adderall is basically amphetamine and the A in MDMA is for amphetamine. I'm not chemist but maybe both stories are correct in some way? Title: Re: Wes Welker Suspended Post by: Tenshot13 on September 03, 2014, 10:04:08 am I hope you didn't invest a high pick on him. Nah I got good value on him both times. Title: Re: Wes Welker Suspended Post by: Rich on September 03, 2014, 10:12:16 am Nah I got good value on him both times. I know a guy in our 10 team league that drafted him in the 4th round. We were all ripping him. He took Tony Gonzalez in round 1 last year.... Title: Re: Wes Welker Suspended Post by: EKnight on September 03, 2014, 10:13:55 am @Phishfan- MDMA is Ecstasy. Both things could be true, but I don't think they both reflect on the player the same way.
Given Welker's concussion issues, I didn't touch him in my league. But I got E. Sanders in round 9. -EK Title: Re: Wes Welker Suspended Post by: Phishfan on September 03, 2014, 10:54:21 am @Phishfan- MDMA is Ecstasy. Both things could be true, but I don't think they both reflect on the player the same way. Yea I know MDMA is Ecstasy. That is why I said your rumors of both Adderall & Ecstasy could possibly both be true. Who knows what the shit you injest gets cut with? As for looking at them differently, I seriously don't know anyone who uses Adderall for any other purpose than for recreational. Sure there may be a prescription involved but they are using that crap to cut stuff and eating them like candies rather than for any type of medicinal purpose. Title: Re: Wes Welker Suspended Post by: Rich on September 03, 2014, 11:10:32 am I seriously don't know anyone who uses Adderall for any other purpose than for recreational. Quote Performance-enhancing[edit]Therapeutic doses of amphetamine improve cortical network efficiency, resulting in higher performance on working memory tests in all individuals.[11][40] Amphetamine and other ADHD stimulants also improve task saliency (motivation to perform a task) and increase arousal, in turn promoting goal-directed behavior.[11][41][42] Stimulants such as amphetamine can improve performance on difficult and boring tasks,[11][41] and are used by some students as a study and test-taking aid.[43] Based upon studies of self-reported illicit stimulant use, performance-enhancing use, rather than abuse as a recreational drug, is the primary reason that students use stimulants.[44] However, high amphetamine doses that are above the therapeutic range can interfere with working memory and cognitive control.[11][41] Title: Re: Wes Welker Suspended Post by: DenverFinFan on September 03, 2014, 11:18:33 am I thought Adderall when It first broke, either way Denver has had some "party problems" since Elway came on board, he's also had a reputation as a hard partying hedonist and he brought in two execs who had some serious DUIs. And of course these types of things will happen when leadership does them.
Elway sucks, I hear he's a real shitty tipper, and not much of a philanthropist either. Title: Re: Wes Welker Suspended Post by: Rich on September 03, 2014, 11:34:11 am By the way, NFL players are allowed to take Adderrall if it is approved by the league.

What his "story" is becomes irrelevant Title: Re: Wes Welker Suspended Post by: Landshark on September 03, 2014, 08:57:14 pm By the way, NFL players are allowed to take Adderrall if it is approved by the league. correct Title: Re: Wes Welker Suspended Post by: MikeO on September 12, 2014, 07:40:32 pm New Drug Policy approved....Welker will play this Sunday
