Never realized the thread starter on the bottom of the page and was wondering why the last 2 threads I went through trying to start didn't work out right!

Pain killers are an issue in all walks of life, but I'm willing to bet there is a good number of athletes in contact sports that have an issue

Yeah, it's two pain killers/opioids and quite strong ones at that. Kinda explains why he looked a little not-there when walking out.

i'm a little confused. what if he sustained an injury during training camp and was prescribed the pain killers by a doctor?

@anikm, no. it is an opiate like heroin, but it's used to treat pain.

If he's heavy into drugs, there's no reason he should be kept around.  We should wait and see what comes up.

When do they do the piss test? Oxycodone is out of your system in three days or so( depending on how much you took and how often you go to the bathroom)
