Trying to dilute your sample is also a way guys apparently cheat the test.

And yes, he'd get a ring.

yeah I totally get that in a typical job context where you need to piss before the end of your shift, but if there's a ticking clock on your pee time it seems like it'd be easy to overhydrate

I mean, I don't know the specifics, but I would imagine that it takes a *lot* of water to cause this dilution problem.

"diluted" in this case means he drank a bunch of water beforehand, right? which, not trying to rules-gerrymander Gordon's sobriety or lack thereof, but isn't that kinda what you have to do if someone demands you piss in front of them within two hours


also, doesn't he get a ring if the Pats win? that seems like something to be happy about

When he was playing I feel he made a not-insignificant contribution to the Pats offense too. Like, him joining the team was probably instrumental in them getting a first round bye, so it's not like he did nothing to deserve it. I don't mean he completely changed the offense, but he definitely improved it.

Pretty sure Von Miller was hit for a diluted sample a couple years ago too.

yeah dog everyone knows how drug tests work generally, but in the NFL you get a notice that you have to give a sample within like two hours or you automatically fail. accidentally pounding too much water to make sure you make the cutoff isn't out of the realm of possibility imo. like I'm sure he did it in this case but it seems like a tenuous system

I'm pretty sure I read that for PED testing they let players give another sample if its comes back diluted, but for drug testing you are one and done.

Drug tests are super unreliable. You're in a precarious position if you're getting drug tested because of how loving bad they are.

That said, Josh Gordon doesn't seem to be protesting it so it seems likely he's relapsed.

The amount of water in your urine has to be extreme to trigger the dilution alarm or whathaveyou... Like chugging ten gallons of water extreme. Generally doesn't happen on accident and is a good indication that the subject is trying to fudge their test.

Dilution can also mean actually mixing the sample with water (if you're mondo dumb) or fake piss (if you're slightly less dumb).

nothing i wrote is wrong, dilution is triggered upon drinking massive amounts of water to cheat the test or by mixing an actual sample with something to dilute it.

so your argument is that Josh Gordon accidentally drank a shitload of water because he's an athlete and that's the only reason he's been sent to rehab?

sorry but that's dumb as gently caress...

I'm not sure why you would say that; other than ten gallons of water being an exaggeration he didn't say anything wrong. It takes an unusual amount of water to pop a drug test as diluted and is a common way to try to cheat it, and people do sometimes drink literal gallons of water in a fairly short period of time.

You can't be Schedule I if you have a currently accepted medical use. Basically the only* things on Schedule I are marijuana, psychedelics, and heroin.

*The list is of course much longer, but that's the general principle: https://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/21cfr/cfr/1308/1308_11.htm

Technically heroin aka diamorphine should be schedule 2 shouldn't it? Some countries use it where morphine would be used in the US.

I legitimately wonder how many people in the US get legitimate Desoxyn prescriptions. It has to be like a 4 digit number.

The absolute best thing is reading the reviews for it online. Apparently people love meth!!!

There are a lot of reasons that a pro athlete might have a dilute sample on a randomly assigned piss test with no prior warning of timeframe. This is especially true given the atypical regimine of supplements and nutritional needs that athletes at the pro level might be utilizing.
