What's up w/ that B sample? It's taking forever...is this normal?

[McCarthy12]

I believe people are saying that the issue is he ran his mouth about it early whereas most players and teams don't announce anything until after the B comes back.

That is what people are saying but it sure seems odd to me that it would take this long.

It definitely seems odd to me, too. Maybe Howie can find a way out of it haha.

Any chemical analysis certainly can't take this long.

I was speculatively thinking maybe his test was close to some threshold they have to delineate a positive test and they are taking their time deciding what to do.

it's possible

my understanding is that in order to hit a positive result, the threshold is abnormally high so that even tests suggestive of an additive, still aren't considered a positive. So if the case were that he was just across the line (or below it, which might fit your theory), I don't think they'd hesitate to pull the trigger.

Also, Lane's story doesn't match up w/ that - he admitted to the substance. My guess, other than conspiracy theory stuff, is that the NFL might not have done their due diligence on a substance and that he's in some weird gray area.

Possible confidentiality violation...

That is what people are saying but it sure seems odd to me that it would take this long.

....this news was leaked ( not by Lane) , I'm thinking there is some legal issues involved.

Perhaps they are working out an agreement?

[Drama Queen]

Yes good point.

Admitted to taking the supplement, but un-knowingly the additive in the supplement. I think the same thing has happened with a few fighters in the UFC. Take supplement, get banned because the supplement companies can throw whatever they want in the supplement because it's not regulated by the FDA.

Player/fighter thinks it's okay and come to find that there are a bunch of other things included.

I believe many fighters in the UFC are not taking supplements anymore because of that fact.

This is what I've been thinking. That either the league is investigating a leak on their end or Lane's agent/lawyer are arguing to have it thrown out due to a leak, claiming that the entire testing process has been botched.

How amazing would this be?
