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

[Hammock Parties]

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.

I'm sure he did. But it just doesn't matter. Once you pop it's done. Period.

On the contrary, I've heard that once you pop, the fun don't stop.

Why does anything we feel have a point? My gut reaction was "this is fishy."

[bevischief]
