Rams lose Vobora...to suspension

by VanRam on Sep 29, 2009 5:35 PM CDT in News Comment 11 comments

The news just keeps getting better for the St. Louis Rams.

Today the league announced that starting SLB David Vobora received a four game suspension for testing positive for a banned performance enhancing substance.

He claims he didn't know the supplement he took contained the banned substance...stop me if you've heard this one before. He does take responsibility for using the supplement that was not on the league's official list.

Stupid.

Hop Spags is in shape

he made need to put the pads on Sunday… can anything get worse? Honestly… it seels like every FREAKIN’ (wish I could put the real word) year our team is a junk pile. Every year.

I’m sick of it frankly. I know I won’t be ordering Sunday ticket next year… i’ll wait until I see them competitive again… and who knows when that will be.

Irrelevant?

I guess mister Vobora needed a little extra to be relevant!

Most

of the subtances banned that are on that list are substances that mask steroid use. The article on the NFL’s website said that he’s planning on suing the manufacturers for not telling him everything that was in there. I hope he wins. At least that would be a partial Rams win this season.

THIS year's the year. I hope....

Why do they take these supplements?

Do they really think they will make a noticeable difference in a month or two? It’s just stupid to take something that probably won’t help and can get you suspended if something is in it that shouldn’t be there. What is wrong with these guys?

C'mon

Look, I’m all for giving the benefit of doubt to him, but in this day and age, I highly doubt that he had no way of knowing. If you have a doubt about it, ask someone. It’s not like (even at his salary) he couldn’t afford to ask a doctor or NFL worker about it.

I'd think

every team would have a list of accepted substances and before trying something the players would run it by the list or the league office. I suppose one wouldn’t want to tip anyone else off to a new magic potion by doing that. At this point this is pretty stupid.

Hey VT you reminded me why this season isn’t as hard on me as bad as it really is, because I did not order sunday ticket to watch these clowns,lol thank god I didn’t waste that money.
You all know that one of the writers on Yahoo has officially classified the Rams as worse then the Raiders and the Browns and sadly I believe that if the Rams played them they would lose, Rams fan otherwise known as a glutton for punishment!!
