Do you believe Bowe's story about his grandmother giving him the diuretic?

Seems fishy. He makes millions of dollars and he goes to GRAMMY?

Bowe wanted a sure thing. He had been overweight when he reported last spring to the team’s offseason conditioning program. Now, he was sore from the marathon conditioning sessions during the first week of training camp and desperate for relief.

He says he couldn’t afford to slow down. Haley’s requirements were tough on the body, and Bowe says now that some days were tougher than others. He says he called his grandmother, Dorothy Williams, and asked for a remedy. Something to ease the cramps he’d been having.

“I told my grandma to send me something,” Bowe says.

He says now that his grandmother keeps her “cramp medicine” next to her water pills and that Williams unknowingly sent the wrong thing. Bowe says he took it anyway. After taking a pill he says was a diuretic, a banned substance by the NFL because some diuretics are taken to cut weight or mask the use of steroids, Bowe weighed himself. He says that before he took the pill, he was 3 pounds heavier than his suggested playing weight. After taking it, he says, he was 6 pounds under his target.

“I was real light,” he says. “I was like, ‘How did I lose all this weight?’ ”

Bowe says he called his grandmother, and he says now that she had no idea what she had sent. Bowe says he thought it was a potassium supplement, which was not against the rules. But Bowe says his grandmother sent him something different — and couldn’t tell him what it was. He says now that he doesn’t know the name of the substance he took and that his grandmother doesn’t know, either.

“I tried to ask her,” he says. “She’s old.”

Bowe says he took only the one pill, nervous after the drastic weight loss. But weeks later, there was a note in his locker at Chiefs headquarters. He says he thought he’d been fined for some on-the-field theatrics.

PEDs? That's not something I do or would do. I have to be a role model for the kids. /Bowe/

I'll take, "I don't give a shit" for $1000, Alex.

It's over and done with.

For a lot of people, family is something important. If dude is gonna lie about something stupid I'm sure he could do better than a grandma concoction.

doesnt really matter now

I am taking waterpills, you just piss so much its insane. I dont know if his story is true or not, but they are made to clean out the system that much i know. lol When you take one, they are in effect for 4 hours, but you also have big time nausea the first week you take them.

i just read the label its Hydrochlorothiazide.

Hell I'm drunk on the koolaid..and can't even read the topic, so no way grandma has hair on her chest and Bowe doesn't eat the browneye.

The Chiefs should stay away from drafting a player from LSU for a few years... at least.

If it's not true he is a complete ass for blaming grandma. I'd think if he was going to lie he's of thought up something a little more clever than this.

Why is that? Is it because every single player from LSU is destined to fail in the Chiefs system? I've never quite figured out this rationale.

Yea Dorsey & Bowe suck.

Damn I wish my grandma was cool enough to keep water pills in the medicine cabinet. Mine only has roids she takes before her MMA training.

If true then he should have said so to the NFL offices.

Lots of older people have water pills that they use in conjuction with other medication. My wife's grandpa and my dad both have been taking water pills during the last year.
