ESPN is saying it is only 8 players
Three members of the New Orleans Saints -- running back Deuce McAllister and defensive ends Will Smith and Charles Grant -- are among a number of NFL players confirmed to have tested positive under the NFL's steroid policy, ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen reports.
Mortensen confirmed through league and union sources on Saturday that the number of pending cases on the positive tests in violation of the steroids policy is eight.
Sources also have confirmed for Mortensen that four of the eight have tested positive for the diuretic Bumetanide, which belongs to a subset of medicines known as water pills that enable users to lose weight , but it is unclear who those four players are.
Mortensen also confirmed that Houston Texans long snapper Bryan Pittman is among those players to test positive for using a weight-loss supplement.
Fox Sports is saying the drug people are testing positive for was for weight loss not an actual steroid.
"A highly-placed league source maintains weight loss was the goal. "It seems to be clear that most of these players were doing it to cut weight."
"I know that a few of these players have had weight issues."
The source suggested some players may not even know Bumetanide is a banned substance in the NFL."
We'll see what happens I guess
