New Orleans Saints guard Jamar Nesbit has been suspended by the NFL for violating the league’s policy on anabolic steroids and related substances.

Nesbit’s suspension begins immediately.

From Espnstar.com:

“We are disappointed in the suspension of Jamar,” Saints general manager Mickey Loomis said. “We will support Jamar through this process and look forward to having him rejoin the team soon.”

Nesbit will be unable to participate in team activities until the week of October 20. New Orleans heads to London that week to face the San Diego Chargers in Wembley Stadium on October 26.

The NFL has had a “rash” of positive tests under its policy about anabolic steroids and related substances, according to Fox 31.

The station reported, while citing a “highly-placed NFL source”, said there have been as many as 10 positive tests.

From Espnstar.com:

Fox 31 reported Friday the NFL has had a “rash” of positive tests under the league’s policy regarding anabolic steroids and related substances.

Citing a “highly-placed NFL source,” the station reported that there have been as many as 10 positive tests, resulting from players taking water pills in an effort to lose weight.

The NFL could not be reached for comment.

The report said among the players with positive tests were running back Deuce McAllister and defensive end Will Smith of the New Orleans Saints.

The substance in question is Bumetanide, a drug which can mask the presence of other substances, including steroids.

A first violation results in a four-game suspension under policy of the league for anabolic steroids and related substances.

The trio of defensive tackles and three players with the New Orleans Saints – running back Deuce McAllister and defensive ends Will Smith and Charles Grant – have been identified in media reports as testing positive for a banned drug.

The players reportedly tested positive for Bumetanide that figures on the NFL’s list of banned substances.

From Espnstar.com:

McAllister said after Sunday’s game against the San Diego Chargers that he was not surprised to learn of his inclusion on the list, although he insisted he always has tried to play by the rules.

Grant disavowed any knowledge of the report following Sunday’s game while Smith said he did not know the full details of the report and declined to comment on it.

“My initial reaction to it, we’ve been kind of going through this process for a while,” McAllister said. “I guess you guys just found out about it at this point.

“But whatever happens that’s what’s going to happen. We’ve hired counsel. He’s going to do his job to kind of put the case together and however the NFL rules, that’s the way it will be.”

Bumetanide is a diuretic that can mask the presence of anabolic steroids.

Two of the six players suspended by the National Football League (NFL) for testing positive to drugs are about to challenge the ruling.

The NFL suspended defensive tackles Pat Williams and Kevin Williams of the Minnesota Vikings, a trio of players with the New Orleans Saints – running back Deuce McAllister and defensive ends Will Smith and Charles Grant – and centre Bryan Pittman of the Houston Texans for violating the league’s policy on anabolic steroids and related substances.

From Espnstar.com:

Attorneys for the Williamses are expected to argue that league officials were aware that StarCaps, a product used by the players, contained bumetanide but failed to share that information with players.

The league, however, seemed to leave little room for such an argument in spelling out its policy to the players in the statement which announced the players’ suspensions.

“You and you alone are responsible for what goes into your body,” the policy read. “Claiming that you used only legally available nutritional supplements will not help you in an appeal. Even if they are bought over-the-counter from a known establishment, there is currently no way to be sure that they contain the ingredients listed on the packaging or have not been tainted with prohibited substances.

“If you take these products, you do so at your own risk.”

Defensive tackle Grady Jackson of the Atlanta Falcons also faces a four-game suspension but the Falcons said his appeal has been deferred pending additional information requisition by NFL Chief Counsel Jeff Pash.

“The players specifically violated a long-standing provision of the policy relating to the use of diuretics and water pills, which serve as masking agents for steroids and are potentially dangerous to the health of players,” the NFL statement read.

The drug in question is Bumetanide, which is a diuretic that can mask the presence of other substances, including steroids.

Nesbit will be unable to participate in team activities until the week of October 20. New Orleans heads to London that week to face the San Diego Chargers in Wembley Stadium on October 26.

Grady Jackson of the Atlanta Falcons has sued the manufacturer of a diet pill that led to his suspension for four games from the NFL.

It was reported by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that Jackson filed the suit in Superior Court of California against StarCaps diet pills of Nikki Harrell.

From Espnstar.com:

The lawsuit also names Balanced Health Products, the maker of StarCaps. Jackson is seeking restitution and damages for false advertising and unfair business practices against the company and retailers of StarCaps.

The company acknowledged the lawsuit in a message posted on its web site, StarCaps.com.

“We’ve received notice of a problem with an NFL player,” the statement read. “We have referred the matter to our counsel and are taking all necessary steps to ensure that our customers receive product that is safe and effective. We have temporarily suspended shipping of StarCaps pending the results of our investigation.”

Jackson is among a handful of NFL players who reportedly tested positive for Bumetanide, a diuretic which is on the NFL’s list of banned substances.

Defensive tackles Pat Williams and Kevin Williams of the Minnesota Vikings and a trio of players with the New Orleans Saints – running back Deuce McAllister and defensive ends Will Smith and Charles Grant – have been identified in multiple media reports as testing positive for the drug.

Bumetanide, the diuretic, has the ability of masking the presence of substances such as steroids.

The suspensions handed down to five NFL players (Pat Williams and Kevin Williams of the Minnesota Vikings and Deuce McAllister, Charles Grant and Will Smith of the New Orleans Saints) for violating the league’s anti-doping policy was blocked, at least temporarily, by a federal judge.

U.S. District Court Judge Paul Magnuson said that he required more time for ruling on the case involving the five NFL players.

From Espnstar.com:

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said in an e-mail to PA SportsTicker on Friday that the league is confident Magnuson will uphold the suspensions once he has time to fully review all aspects of the case.

“We welcome that scrutiny,” Aiello said. “We are confident that, once he has had an opportunity to review all of the relevant materials, including the Collective Bargaining Agreement, he will uphold our longstanding agreements with the NFLPA that protect the health and safety of NFL players and the integrity of our game.”

Magnuson heard arguments from attorneys for the players’ union and the NFL in a three-hour hearing before rendering his decision shortly after a recess Friday.

The players were suspended Tuesday after testing positive for Bumetanide, a banned diuretic that can mask the presence of other substances, including steroids.

However, the NFLPA said in its lawsuit that league officials were aware that a supplement called StarCaps contained the banned substance but failed to share that information with players.

Magnuson wrote in his ruling that the case issues are complex and contentious and it is not possible in the two days that remain before the players at issue are next scheduled to take the field.

New Orleans Saints running back Deuce McAllister recently said that he was not surprised to see his inclusion on a list of players who reportedly tested positive for a drug on the list of banned substances of the NFL.

McAllister also insisted that he tried to play by the rules in the wake of victory attained by the Saints over the San Diego Chargers at Wembley Stadium.

From Espnstar.com:

The Times-Picayune reported Saturday that McAllister and Saints defensive ends Will Smith and Charles Grant had tested positive for Bumetanide, a drug which can mask the presence of other substances, including steroids.

FOX Sports reported Sunday night that Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowl defensive tackles Kevin Williams and Pat Williams also are facing suspensions for the same substance, as is Atlanta Falcons tackle Grady Jackson.

Saints coach Sean Payton declined comment and said the NFL will deal with the issue.

“It’s a league policy. Its not a club’s position to comment on,” Payton said. “I think the league will handle it and they’re the ones that will make the comment in regards to it.”

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Friday that the league had no comment, and agents for all three New Orleans players could not be reached for comment.

On Friday night, FOX 31 in Denver reported that the league has had a “rash” of positive tests. McAllister and Smith were the only players named by the station, which reported that as many as 10 players tested positive as a result of taking water pills in an effort to lose weight.

McAllister said that he and many others have been going through with this for a while and it is all for others to find out about it.

Three players are the latest to be named after testing positive for a drug that features on the list of banned substances by the NFL.

Multiple media reports identified the trio of defensive tackles and three players with the New Orleans Saints – running back Deuce McAllister and defensive ends Will Smith and Charles Grant – as testing positive for Bumetanide.

From Espnstar.com:

The drug is question is a diuretic which can mask the presence of other substances, including steroids.

Grant disavowed any knowledge of the report following Sunday’s game while Smith said he did not know the full details of the report and declined to comment on it.

“My initial reaction to it, we’ve been kind of going through this process for a while,” McAllister said. “I guess you guys just found out about it at this point.

McAllister said that a counsel has been hired to do the job as per regulations of the NFL.

New Orleans Saints Will Smith and Charles Grant would still be able to play just like the two Viking players.

Grant and Smith have a case similar to that of the Williamsons. They also unknowingly ingested a banned diuretic contained in a weight loss product. The diuretic was known to mask the presence of anabolic steroids.

The NFL may have decided not to suspend the pair after the other two players took legal action, which resulted for their suspension to be put on hold.

According to NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in a written statement, the primary goal of the league is to uphold fairness, effectiveness, and integrity of their program.

He believes that the appropriate step to take is to defer the suspensions of the four players while discussions regarding legal options continue with the National Football League Players Association.

According to players, the National Football League knew that the supplement StarCaps contained bumetanide but did not inform the players who were using it.

The league argued that they made the necessary actions according to the testing program. Whatever the players ingested, even if unknowingly, is still the responsibility of the player.

From Washington Post:

The NFL has announced that it will not enforce its four-game suspensions of New Orleans Saints defensive ends Charles Grant and Will Smith “at the present time.”
