I think there is a difference between knowingly cheating and unknowingly cheating, but personally I still think it is cheating either way. He did not fail the test b/c of poppy seed muffins. Best case scenario(and I think unlikely) he had a “tainted batch” of supplements. In my mind, as an athlete who has heard numerous athletes use this same excuse, why would you assume your supplements are safe? Just b/c you got from GNC from a sales(wo)man(not a medical professional) or from your trainer whose training is not in supplements does not mean a supplement is good. Why not ask your team docs for a recommendation? Better yet, get the Titans to hire a pharmacist to analyze your supplements and recommend certain supplements. I happen to know a good pharmacist for the job.

First off, we’re not talking about your mother. Its highly unlikely PEDs somehow made its way into his food.

Secondly, why would I wait for a second positive test to call him a cheater? If we did it that way, everyone could get caught once, then stop using, and then by your reckoning would not be a cheater. Should we say Brian Cushing’s clean until he fails a second drug test? I don’t think so. I think he’s a cheater. and I think McRath is as well.
