childofpudding Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Update: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/23898771/julian-edelman-new-england-patriots-mount-vigorous-appeal Quote As the MMQB reported a few days later, the substance for which Edelman tested positive wasn't one the league's drug testers recognized. That remains one of two key issues at the heart of his appeal. The other, according to a source, involves a mishandling of the documentation and delivery of Edelman's test results. During the course of the investigation, it was learned that the NFL made mistakes in the manner in which the test results were handled. Edelman is arguing that the mishandling of the evidence is one of the reasons he should be exonerated. Just take the suspension, PEDelman. You can't fight City Hall.

Not sure I understand this... the article doesn't clarify either. It's not a banned substance or it's not something that they test for? Either way how does he end up getting suspended...

The test may have identified the banned substance but it may not have come from a drug that the testers have encountered before. It's most likely some kind of advanced Guerrero/TB12 tomato-free homeopathic PED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nex_Gen Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Although his chances are low, Edelman seems to have an outlier and has a better shot at getting this overturned than in most cases. Still waiting from the NFL to see what it was, or what may have been mishandled.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't think there is some fire here, I think you're intentionally choosing to be obtuse. When you add everything together regarding the Butler situation, Tom Bradys comments on loyalty from the organization, unrest with Gronk, BBs reported dissatisfaction in trading away Jimmy G, the Guerrero banishment. And now here you have Bradys buddy throwing Edelman under the bus, probably to make life more difficult for BB. You can try to shake it off and say "LOL ESPN" all day, but I've seen this before. If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck, it's probably a duck. "Stay lit, be FREE, be HAPPY" - Gronk to Amendola after signing with Miami I mean, our fans went "LOL AL JAZEERA" not long ago too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is, that was a one off story from a guy who went back on what he said. The Patriots situation is far more unique in that there has been physical evidence on the field that things are a little dicey in New England. The flow of reports that followed this offseason is not a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VigilantZombie Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I fully expect him to be suspended for some sort of game length, the question will be is it 4 or 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it just is evidence of a drug, like a boost in certain things in his system. It's like if they had a test for Mountain Dew, all Mountain Dew is banned and they can test Code Red, Regular, LiveWire, even the Pitch Black...they see all the effects of that much sugar, etc does to you. So Edelman tested as if he drank Mountain Dew, but it's not any of the known flavors that they test for. But surprise years later they find out what Baja Blast is, they didn't go to taco bell (outside the country) so they had no idea there was this new flavor, and sure enough thats what Edelman drank. SO it's like, yes Baja Blast isn't strictly banned. But it's a Mountain Dew...and they are all forbidden and you should know better if you're trying to play dumb. Testers are always behind on this stuff, they didn't know what hgh was either for awhile, just like everything else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
