The thing I find amazing about this, even if they didn't have malicious intent, is why did they take them if they were on the banned substance list. Surely, someone from the league or the team circulates this to them.
We'll see how this plays out but it looks like a four-game suspension is likely since a player from the Saints already served a suspension for a similar offense. Without them in the lineup, the biggest strength of the team, the ability to stop the run, will be neutralized. The Vikings margin for error is small enough the way it is, this makes it even smaller. At a minimum, from a W/L perspective, this will cost them a game and probably eliminates any slim chance we had at a playoff berth.
I just hope the NFL waits until after the game against the Cheeseheads on Nov. 9 to start the suspensions so they can at least stop the five-game Brad Childress-led losing streak the Vikes have against them.

One thing to remember is that last year, fat Pat Williams was put on the 'Unable To Perform' list for the Vikes when he showed up to training camp at almost 400lbs. He's had weight problems in the past and this might be something the trainers put him on to help him lose weight. Also, supposedly the masking agent that they tested positive for wasn't posted on the bottle's list of ingredients. fyi.
This 'list' of performance enhancing drugs in professional sports is getting out of control. I heard they're testing college kids for nitrogen levels in they're urine now to see if they're supplementing for protein. Really? They can't even take protein? And don't even think about creatine. Give me a effing break!!!
