All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

The NFL is rechecking players' drug tests to look for the newly identified steroid THG.
The NFL will not only begin testing for the previously undetecdable steriod THG, but now they will also back test player samples that passed initial testing in the past.
Is this fair? I think so
Who should be concerned? I think that David Boston will turn up HOT, and Michael Pittman is certainly questionable as well.
Here's the deal. I will pay you millions of dollars as long as you:
1. Produce
2. Stay entertaining
3. Don't get in trouble with the law
4. Don't take enhancing drugs
What is so hard to achieve from the above? These guys knew when they took them that they could be busted - I don't have a drop of sympathy - even if it turned out to be someone from my own team.
And on that note - Goodbye Dave Boston and Bill Romanowski.
I agree with all 4 of those points KC! BUT, I think Romo will dodge the bullet, unless he's decided NOT to retire. Pittman may dodge it too, if he ends up serving jail time.

The biggest thing we learned from the Bills is that they are a resilient bunch and did what they had to do to win instead of past years where they fold like a cheap lawn chair.
For news, articles and other "stuff"... BillsZone.com

If he doesn't, he can blame it on his wife and her friend like he did the last time in denver.
Originally posted by BuffaloRanger How can they get busted if THG wasn't on the banned substance list? They aren't going back and checking for Ephedra are they? No.
There is no quantifiable proof it is a steroid.
And news flash, if the difference between keeping your job and losing it means taking steroids, steroids will win everytime.
The NFL circumvented that problem some time ago.
Laws are very specific (for good reason) when indicating which drugs are illegal and which aren't. Specific chemical formulas are even stated in said laws.'
Designer drugs circumvent the laws by changing the molecular structure slightly while keeping the benefits (?) off the primary basic structure.
The NFL is not condemned to act by law. They have a list of specific substances, regardless of the molecular combinations. The benefits (?) of a designer drug is that unless specific testing is ordered for that drug, it can (and usually is) be missed. However, that doesn't change the fact that the banned substance is contained within the new substance.
And yes, Tetrahydrogestrinone is an anabolic steroid. It is merely hidden by extra structures contained therein. If it weren't a steroid, why would athletes take it?
As far as Terrell Owens, or any other player, tough luck.
Being a division rival, I would say "Test him first". But he has screwed his team up so badly with his poor attitude and play, I want him as an available player until after we get them at Arrowhead this year.
Originally posted by BillsFever I think Brian Moorman or Doug Flutie will get popped first.
Have you seen Moorman up close? I'm bigger than he is! No way he's taking anything.
BTW, how can you guys tell just by looking at a player that they are taking steriods? I wouldn't be able to even guess who could be taking them and who isn't. I guess the only way to really tell, without tests is to have a full body examination. I've heard that prolonged use of steriods shrinks the male sex organ. lol
There's not a stone in my heart I've left unturned
Not a piece of my soul that I ain't searched
The only answer I found for all this hurt
Is there ain't not answer here on earth
