their season is done! matter fact i should remove my sig for the chargers cheating against the niners

[Pistons < Spurs]

Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman has been notified he will be suspended for four games for violating the NFL's steroids policy, league and team sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

Merriman's positive test was "definitely for steroids … not one of those supplement deals" said a source with knowledge of Merriman's suspension.

Merriman's suspension originally was to be announced last Tuesday when two other players -- the Falcons' Mark Lehr and the Lions' Shaun Rogers -- were suspended for violating the policy. But Merriman reserved the right to appeal his suspension, so it was not announced.

Neither the Chargers, nor Merriman, could be reached for comment Sunday night.

Earlier Sunday the Chargers lost to the Chiefs 30-27 in Kansas City.

This might drive Sanity to start drinking again.

[TheTruth]

Almost as bad as the Broncos punter getting the boot for Roids. Fucking retards.

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

I'm guessing that staunch run defense is going to suffer now, but I couldve sworn he wasnt on the field yesterday because LJ ran the ball down the Chargers throats all day anyways

[TheSanityAnnex]

I'll wait to hear an actual statement before I start to cast any stones. From what I'm reading, Merriman says there was a reason for it. I'm guessing that means he'll say he had an injury he was trying to heal. Who knows, it was a stupid move regardless.

And Fillmoe, their season is hardly over, one man does not make a team. What I'm more dissapointed in is the fact the Shaun Phillips got hurt. Good thing the Chargers are deep at the LB position, they will need all the help they can get. Now if we want to discuss your season being over before it started.............

yah there was a reason for it... he was trying to be stronger, faster, better then everyone else.....

[TheTruth]

You only get the 4 game suspensions after the NFL gives you at least one warning. Stupid ass went and broke the rules after he had already been caught once.

.........or trying to heal an injury. The league has known about this for a while, he wasn't suspended because his case was being appealed. Don't you stop to wonder exactly what he was appealing? I'll wait to hear a statement from the league and Merriman before I hang the guy.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Just heard on NFL network that a league official is saying Merriman might not be suspended after all. Can't find anything in print so take it for what its worth.

[TheSanityAnnex]

The paperwork for Merriman's suspension hasn't been filed, and nothing is official..........yet ESPN has been reporting since last night that this was all official.:flipoff

Why is it so hard for the media to wait for something to be official before they announce these things. I'm not saying Merriman won't be suspended, he probably will.........but I would love to see him not suspended just to see how ESPN would try and clean up all the egg.

[leemajors]

mortensen was the one reporting he was being suspended. reporters are paid to run with a story.

Who cares what he's appealing. He was found to have roids in his system. Period.

He has the right through the collective bargaining agreement to appeal....and I don't blame him for doing so....but that doesn' lend me to be willing to excuse any scenarios in which he needed roids.

The NFL is very plain in their rules and penalties. Hell a Detroit Lion was suspended for diet pills that fell into the "do not use" category.

He needs to drop the appeal, admit that he had something in his body that is not allowed, and move on.

They wouldn't have anything to 'clean up'. League and TEAM sources told Mortensen that he would be suspended. Their job at that point is to report it.

If it turns out that his appeal is succesful, they will likely also be the first to report that is the case.

Ware > A non-Roided Merriman

[TheTruth]

Ware = Merriman without half the talent, athleticism, or ability.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Hopefully this incident will smarten and humble him.


On a positive note, I just read that Shaun Phillips calf injury is not as bad as they had first thought. He was supposed to be out for 4-6 weeks but tests came back negative and now he's looking at 2 weeks tops. Just in time for Denver.

[katyon6th]

Just in time for Denver.

Phillips won't do shit against the Broncos now that they don't have to game plan for Merriman. He better enjoy life with a tackle and TE double teaming him all night. :smokin

[TheSanityAnnex]

Phillips won't do shit against the Broncos now that they don't have to game plan for Merriman. He better enjoy life with a tackle and TE double teaming him all night. :smokinWhat does gameplanning for the Merriman have to do with Rivers? If you weren't cute I'd be bagging on you much harder right now.

Last I checked, the Denver offense game plans for Merriman, and the Denver defense game plans for Rivers. Oh yeah, they also have to gameplan for Tomlinson, Turner, and Gates. Shaun Phillips (who was leading the team in sacks) should be back in time for Denver, the game will be an important one for both our teams.

[Fabbs]

Marty Shot has already surpassed never before offensive output (for his teams) in the last 3 games.
With the Charger defensive key people out, i hope MmmmartyBall lets the offense go for it in total. The last three games the O calls have been great. Now try to shoot for 40 points every game. Completely free up Phillip Rivers.

[TheTruth]

I think she was talking about Shaun Phillips dumbass....

I wasn't talking about that hottie Philip Rivers, I was talking about Shaun Phillips -- who you even wrote about in you response.

[TheSanityAnnex]

:lol You are right. Now that I've read it closely, it makes more sense. I was trying to figure out how a double team from a tackle and tightend were going to slow Phillip Rivers. S.Philips will still give Denver hell.

Notice how I didn't treat her with any disrespect? Your dumbass comment was a little much no?


Back to the original topic:

I just watched the Merriman press conference. This is taking a strange turn. He says he's done nothing wrong, he can't speak about any of it yet. It appears he's playing against St. Louis next week. Marshall Faulk is listing things legal items that can show up postive in a test...............what the fuck is going on?

[TheSanityAnnex]

I wasn't talking about that hottie Philip Rivers, I was talking about Shaun Phillips -- who you even wrote about in you response.And I'm glad I didn't talk too much shit.

But silly, Phillips is Phillips and Rivers is Rivers, no? I wouldn't call Philip Rivers, Phillips. That'd be retarded and I'm not retarded.

But on topic, Merriman is totally on steroids. He's raging.

Eh........guess I just read it too fast.


Merriman is far from raging, I just watched his press conference and he seemed strangely calm. As he was walking off, a reporter shouted, "do you think its a flaw in the test", Merriman said yeah and then went on to say he can't comment anymore.

I still think he'll be suspended but now I'm more curious as to why he's being allowed to play in St. Louis and what the hold up on his suspension is. The suspense is fucking killing me. :pctoss

[TheSanityAnnex]

Ouch, Lepsis out for the year. Wasn't he your guys best Olineman?

Nothing fishy is going on. When a player appeals a league mandated penalty like a suspension, he is still allowed to play until the appeal has run its course.

He is fighting it so that he can play for another week or two.

IMO he'd be smarter to exit right now so that he could come back on Nov. 26th (week 13) and have time to help the Chargers still make the playoffs. The longer he fights it ...a bad A and a bad B sample by the way, which he has no way to argue against... the more he will hurt the teams chances.

Something strange is going on and until the final word comes out I'll continue to believe that.

They need him against the Rams with Shaun Phillips being out. This allows less games to be played with both of them out. And if Merriman were to sit out immediately and not play against the Rams, his first game back would be against the Raiders. You tell me which game he is needed more.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Just saw this on the local news.........................Kyle Kraska on channel 8 (cbs) just reported that the substance in question was analdrenome (sp?) which is naturally produced by the body. The high level is what drew suspicion from the nfl when they tested him. They said the high level can be produced when you combine intense exercise, a high protein diet and dehydration.


Any body know any info on this analdrenome? :lol, it can't be spelled with anal to start the word..........maybe adrenaldrome, adrenalome? I don't know.

[TheSanityAnnex]

So I was browsing the NFL's banned substance list and found out that a Chinese Orange is a banned substance. Strange.

Just reported on ESPN that Merriman's lawyer is sayin ghe tested postive for Nandrolone.


http://www.chm.bris.ac.uk/motm/nandrolone/nandc.htm

Nandrolone is an anabolic steroid that has recently caused a great deal of controversy after a number of big name athletes have been banned from competition after failing tests for this drug. These include Linford Christie, Mark Richardson and Dougie Walker (all well known British sprinters), Merlene Ottey (the Jamaican former 200 m world champion), and Dieter Baumann (the German 500 m runner). After protesting their innocence, all were subsequently cleared by their national athletics organisations, although the International Amateur Athletics Federation fueled the controversy further by overturning the reinstatement of Christie and Walker. As well as athletes, French soccer star Christophe Dugarry tested positive for nandrolone after a match last year, and following a Wimbledon quarter final in 1998 Czech tennis player Petr Korda also failed a test. But the fact that so many sportsmen have tested positive for the same substance in such a short space of time has led to speculation that the testing procedure may be flawed, or inaccurate.

British sprinter Linford Christie, who controversially failed a test for nandrolone earlier this year.

The drug known as nandrolone (also known commercially as Deca-Durabolin) has the IUPAC name 17b-hydroxy-19-nor-4-andro-sten-3-one, and is an anabolic steroid (a muscle-building chemical) which occurs naturally in the human body, but only in tiny quantities. It is very similar in structure to the male hormone testosterone, and has many of the same effects in terms of increasing muscle mass, without some of the more unwanted side-effects such as increased body hair or aggressive behaviour. As such, it is being actively examined in clinical tests as a possible treatment for wasting diseases, and to strengthen and increase body tissue and musculature in HIV infected men. In this form it is usually injected in its decanoate form, after first being dissolved in a suitable edible oil.

However, what is detected in the drug tests is the metabolism product of this molecule, called 19-norandrosterone, which is excreted from the body in urine, making it easy to obtain samples. A limit of 2 ng per ml of urine (set by the International Olympic Committee) is the maximum concentration thought possible to occur in human body by 'natural means', and if this is exceeded the drug test is considered positive. Since some samples given by athletes have shown levels up to 100 times higher than this, the conclusion is that the athletes must have been taking extra quantities of the drug to enhance their performance.

[Pistons < Spurs]

Chargers linebacker Shawne Merriman apologized to his teammates Monday, a day after ESPN's Chris Mortensen reported that the second-year Pro Bowl player faces a four-game suspension for violating the NFL's steroids and related substances policy.

Merriman said he wanted to take responsibility for what happened, and will appeal any suspension levied by the league, thereby maintaining his right to practice and play until the case is decided.

Merriman's lawyer, David Cornwell, blamed the positive test on a banned substance called nandrolone, and said Merriman unwittingly ingested the substance since it was contained in one of his supplements. Nandrolone, however, is an anabolic steroid and is on the list of the NFL's banned substances.

Merriman's suspension originally was to be announced last Tuesday when two other NFL players -- the Falcons' Matt Lehr and the Lions' Shaun Rogers -- were suspended for violating the policy. But Merriman reserved the right to appeal his suspension, so it was not announced.

"Per the collective bargaining agreement, the Chargers aren't allowed to comment on reports or results involving the league's substance abuse policy," Chargers spokesman Bill Johnston said Sunday night.



http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2636523

[Pistons < Spurs]

As far as I'm concerned, he has no basis for an appeal. He admits to injesting it. Knowingly or not. A professional athlete has a responsibility to himslef and his teamates to know what he's injesting.

Ignorance of what he put into his system does not excuse the mistake.

Lawyer: Merriman drug test stems from supplement

Shawne Merriman's attorney said the Chargers' star linebacker failed a drug test because of a tainted supplement and will continue to play while appealing his four-game suspension.

Attorney David Cornwell said he believed Merriman tested positive for the steroid nandrolone, which is prohibited under the NFL's substance abuse policy. Cornwell said the substance was in a supplement Merriman has been taking.

"He did not go into the back alley somewhere and put a needle in his butt for steroids," Cornwell said at a news conference Monday, nearly two hours after Merriman practiced with the Chargers following Sunday's 30-27 loss at Kansas City.

Merriman said he spoke with his teammates and coaches earlier in the day, and "apologized to them for this being a distraction, especially the critical time we're going through as a team."

"Hopefully nobody makes any kind of judgment or anything that basically makes me guilty for anything because nothing has been done wrong on my part," Merriman said. "And I will try to get it straightened out as soon as possible. As of right now I'm not missing any time."

The 22-year-old Merriman was last year's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year and started in the Pro Bowl after leading the Chargers with 10 sacks. Merriman is second on the team with 5 1/2 sacks.

"I have no reason to do anything wrong, especially when I'm already in the spotlight and doing things and trying to present to people the right and wrong way to go about things," Merriman said. "This is obviously a mistake that has to be dealt with correctly."

Cornwell said nandrolone "is the primary culprit in tainted supplements."

"I know that people get tired of hearing it, but it is a fact and it is not going to go away until the Congress of the United States deals with it," Cornwell said. "Supplements are not regulated and it is a dirty fact of this industry that many of them are tainted with prohibited substances and men like Shawne get hooked up and get penalized for taking something that they didn't know was present in the supplement.

"That's why this is such an evil process," the attorney said. "He has been playing, unwittingly, Russian roulette with his career because he's been taking the same supplements, and it has been subjected to testing, and hasn't yielded a positive test. So he thought the supplements that he was taking were as safe."

[TheSanityAnnex]

As far as I'm concerned, he has no basis for an appeal. He admits to injesting it. Knowingly or not. A professional athlete has a responsibility to himslef and his teamates to know what he's injesting.

Why so much hate on the guy? He said he did nothing wrong and it looks like he was being truthful. He had been tested before using the same supplement and never tested positive. From what I'm reading, supplements aren't strictly regulated and can be dirty.

[TheSanityAnnex]

Merriman's positive test was "definitely for steroids … not one of those supplement deals" said a source with knowledge of Merriman's suspension


I'd love to know who Mortenson's source was who said it was definitely steroids. What a fucking joke.

[TheSanityAnnex]

More on nandrolone:

A much more likely theory has recently emerged from the results of a preliminary investigation at Aberdeen University. The findings are that dietary supplements themselves are harmless and produce no increased levels of nandrolone. Exercise alone, too, doesn't cause any problems.

But a combination of both dietary supplements (none of which contain a banned substance) and exercise, can result in a positive nandrolone test.

The reason for this is still unclear, but one theory is that there is a link between heavy training, the dehydration that goes with it, and their effects upon the components of high protein diets. Until more work is done, however, the 'nandrolone mystery' goes on...

Nope, he'd still be nowhere near as good as merriman. Not many in the league are.

[TheSanityAnnex]

So where did all the posters go that assumed (per ESPN) that Merriman was sticking a needle in his ass?

[samikeyp]

agreed and I think Merriman is better but I think Ware is pretty good and alot of the "experts" have said the same.

[TheTruth]

Never said Ware wasn't good. He's got 2 sacks from the edge rush position. He's badass. He's still nowhere as good as Merriman. Which was the point of my post. What are we arguing here?

[samikeyp]

I don't think Ware is "half the player" Merriman is. I think he is almost as good. I guess its all in the perspective.


and as we are talking...he sacks Eli. :)

[TheTruth]

damn, make that 3 sacks.

its like he was listening to us! :lol

The Chargers received better news than expected when tests revealed linebacker Shaun Phillips' calf strain might not be as severe as initially suspected.

Phillips' expected recovery time of four weeks could take half as long.

“It does not appear to be as bad as we thought it might be,” head coach Marty Schottenheimer said.

If that is the case, the Chargers might never be without both of their starting outside linebackers at the same time.
Shawne Merriman's appeal hearing to contest his testing positive for a banned substance is scheduled for Nov. 7, which means he is eligible to play in at least the next two games.

Martyball has happened his whole career, regular season and playoffs. I think the Ravens loss really opened his eyes and realized he still has to put points on the board rather than kill clock. Marty has been running the scoreboard up lately if you haven't noticed (1st in the AFC in points scored), that doesn't happen with old Martyball.
