Multiple news outlets are reporting the DEA conducted surprise inspections of the 49ers and Bucs medical and training staffs this weekend. We break down this developing story.

CBS Sports and ESPN are both reporting the Drug Enforcement Agency is in the middle of investigating claims of inappropriate distribution of painkillers by NFL training staffs. According to Outside the Lines, the DEA is conducting surprise inspections of visiting team training and medical staffs. OTL reported the DEA was "particularly interested in questioning the medical staffs of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the San Francisco 49ers" this weekend during their respective road games in Maryland and New Jersey. The DEA is reportedly going to investigate other road teams as well.

Per the source, the DEA has reason to believe the CSA is not being adhered to by NFL medical staffs, including treating players outside their "registered location," as well as not fully documenting the use of painkillers by all players and following all requirements of the Controlled Substances Act. With that in mind, the DEA agents are requesting permission to inspect the medical bags of prescriptions drugs, doing so in some instances at the stadiums while the teams were going through Transportation Safety Administration screening in order to get on charter flights home.

The NFL is in the midst of a lawsuit in which former players contend the league illegally supplied them with painkillers and narcotics to get them back on the field. The DEA investigation was reportedly triggered by the lawsuit. The federal agency is investigating teams to make sure they are following the rules of the Controlled Substances Act in how they distribute such substances. The Washington Post is reporting the DEA had reason to look at those two teams in particular, but that the investigation was not restricted to them. Former 49ers Jeremy Newberry and Ron Stone are two ex-49ers in the lawsuit contending this happened during their time in San Francisco.

Steroids and other such performance enhancing drugs have long been the primary topic of discussion surrounding controlled substances in the NFL. However, the use of pain killers can be viewed as a more important subject of discussion. Pain killers numb a player to what could be a significant physical issue. It gets the player back on the field, potentially leading to serious long-term damage.

This is a big story to follow in the coming weeks and months. It very well could die down a bit, but it is an important development.

Didn't rear that one but read one earlier.


Long story short.

DEA doing surprise visits to random nfl teams that are on the road to make sure they are operating within that states laws about the drugs that they carry with them, and administrate.

They are also making sure they have all the legal documents or whatever that allows them to do what they do.

Holy shit.

We are seriously watching the end of football. They won't be happy until all football is flag football or gone all together. It's fucking sickening

Thank you lawyers and the executive branch of government

Thanks Republicans :wave

It's either ex players or liberal/liberal feminist groups who don't watch or care about football. Either way they should fuck off

Thanks Republicans :wave

Don't you like football? Why not have the conversation you started then? Don't be a stupid fucking asshole please.

He has nothing else to say so his default reply is "stupid"

You sound :mad bruh.

To answer your question: Sure, I like football.

However, I dislike cheating, illegal steroid-injecting and substance abusing meat heads who ruin the sport and get paid vast sums of money while doing so and laughing at the fans for paying to see them and buying their apparel every time they cash a check.

If they make up the majority of the league then it's time to clean fucking house.

how do I sound mad?

And why bash the players... this is meant to make the teams look bad. All in all its bad for the sport. Not the fact that they take pain killers. The fact that these pussies player want to sue them over it later. NFL is in a downward spiral. :sadyes

Why not bash cheating players? Sorry, I don't cheer for juice heads. As for this investigation, the DEA doesn't get involved 'to make teams look bad'. The DEA doesn't give five fucks how teams look.

its the players complaining about it though. They are saying teams pressure them into it... or force them into it... they are playing the victim card. I'm with you though, fuck the players who cheat and then want to sue over it later

but i literally dont give half a fucking shit as of 15 minutes ago

:lolthumb

Oh... And NOW I'm :mad :biglol
