Report: NFL tells teams no positive drug tests at Scouting Combine

Pubs and Restaurants Follow The Growing Trend For Smoke Free Areas

LONDON - SEPTEMBER 10: Signs highlighting the “No Smoking” areas in the pub All BarOne, on September 10 2004, north London. The chain of popular pubs and restaurants have announced that four fifths of its trading floor space would be non-smoking by 2009. A recent opinion poll revealed that most Britons would be in favour of partial or total smoking bans in the workplace, and a Public Health White Paper is due to be published this autumn.

The war on drugs is clearly over, the battle won.

Either that, or incoming NFL players have gotten smarter about when to use and when not to.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the NFL has notified its 32 teams that no player tested positive at the Scouting Combine.

That’s rare, even though it shouldn’t be. The dates of the Combine are known well in advance, and players know they’re going to be tested when they get there. So failing a drug test there is as much of a sign of their accountability (and ability to follow directions) as anything to do with an illicit substance.

But this time, for a change, the lack of leaks seems to be there’s nothing to leak.
