Yet ANOTHER story PFT broke first. But they make stuff up. Jason Wood says so.

Can't understand why he's using this stuff. He's overweight, sure, nobody's clocking him in the 40, anyway.

Finally I may get my shot. Granted I was born in the 1950's, am overweight and out of shape, and have had a knee and hip replacement, but I did win that pass, punt and kick competition back in the 6th grade. I'm a left footer and can still get them out there. Now all I need is a call.
He was busted for steroids when he was with the Panthers, so by comparison ephedra seems kind of tame.
There it is

Kickers???

No he wasn't. He was ACCUSED of using steroids when he was with the Panthers. If he were BUSTED for using steroids, he would have faced some sort of disciplinary action for it. In fact, none of the 4 players named faced any disciplinary action over the incident.I'm not saying that they didn't use steroids (although, I must admit, since none of them were busted it looks a little bit like somebody was stretching the truth somewhere), I'm just saying that the NFL never disciplined them- and if the NFL caught a player using steroids, you can REST ASSURED that there would be hell to pay. Nobody in the NFL Front Office is stupid enough to do what MLB did.
I'm going by memory (although I'm sure it's easy enough to look up), but I think he was busted for "filling an illegal prescription," not for testing positive for them.

Going by my memory, he wasn't busted for anything, he was just accused of it. I mean, if he was busted for breaking the law or breaking an NFL rule, then he would be facing consequences for it. Also, why would he fill the prescription and then not take them? The story broke over a year after he allegedly filled this prescription, but he didn't fail a single drug test.I'm not saying that the story was false, I'm just saying that I maintain a healthy level of skepticism about it, considering not ONE of the named players has faced any disciplinary action of any kind from the team or the government.

From the AP Article:
"I told him that I was very disappointed in him," coach Mike Shanahan said Thursday as the Broncos gathered for training camp. "We took a chance on him. Of all the things, ephedra! What it does is make you lose weight. He's the only guy on the team which I don't care if he's fat. I don't care if he's 30 pounds overweight. All you've got to do is punt the ball. Kick it into the end zone."
Sauerbrun, who was fined by his previous employer, the Carolina Panthers, for eating too much, worries about his weight all the time.
"Well, I care if I'm fat," said Sauerbrun, who packs 215 pounds on his beefy 5-foot-10 frame. "I always want to be in the best shape I can. ... And it kind of backfired on me."
The Whole Story
Hmm I wonder if the "RMO4D" moniker drove him to this.

(Rotoworld) Broncos cut P Todd Sauerbrun Tuesday rather then welcome him back from a four-game suspension.Impact: Denver will continue to go with P Paul Ernster, who did well relieving for Sauerbrun. Sauerbrun seems likely to get signed elsewhere quickly.

Like Baltimore?

I like this move by the Broncos. It punishes a knuckle-headed move by Sauerbrun, saves them some money, and by all accounts, still gives them a solid punter and kickoff specialist. This is just one more reason Denver is one of the best in the biz.
I wouldn't be surprised at all if Todd ended up in Baltimore, but I could also see him in Arizona or San Francisco.

I would like to know where he got it. I would like some.
I used ephedra for years..great before workouts.
The guys that were way over weight and quadrupled the dosage were the ones who had problems.
Take 2 in the morning and 2 before a workout are you are charged.
They have used ephedra safely if the Far East for centuries,,we get it here and abuse it and it gets banned.
