RUMORS CIRCULATE CUSHING AND MATTHEWS ARE ON STEROIDS

RUMORS CIRCULATE CUSHING AND MATTHEWS ARE ON STEROIDS The NFLDraftBible.com published a report that Brian Cushing and Clay Matthews were tested positive of steroids and tested positive for marijuana were Boston College’s defensive tackle BJ Raji, Florida’s wide receiver Percy Harvin, and Illinois cornerback Vontae Davis during the NFL combine. But the National Football League released a statement saying that the stories were malicious and ‘self-serving.’ There was no way anyone would know what the results were because they were confidential. The NFL officials did not even know them. Only the players did because the medical supervisors emailed the results to them. The league further said that it was expected that rumors like this would circulate during the annual combine. These reports should be investigated to avoid any embarrassment on the players because being linked to steroids these days is not a joke.

From The USA Today:

A string of denials and admonishments followed the NFLDraftBible.com stories, particularly in defense of the USC linebackers.

USC coach Pete Carroll called the report “absolutely false.” He told the L.A. Times, “This is an [sic] major example of irresponsible reporting, and the site that published this report should be ashamed of themselves.”

Cushing’s agent, Tom Condon refuted the story and called it a “vicious and false rumor.” Matthews’ agent, Mark Humenik, called for NFLDraftBible.com to retract the report, which he called a “grossly irresponsible and unfair accusation.” As of late Sunday, there had been no change in the reporting by NFLDraftBible.com.

Davis’ agent issued a similar denial. “Neither Vontae nor our office has received any notification of any positive test whether for marijuana or any other banned substance,” the agent, Todd France, told the Rockford Register Star.

The yearly combine is a crucial time of the year in which agents and the players try to gain advantage over the other to be drafted in the teams. The reports could be a ploy to discredit those players who were mentioned.
