Terrence Kiel
San Diego Chargers safety Terrence Kiel was arrested on two counts of transporting a controlled substance and three counts of possession for sale of a controlled substance.
Kiel admitted to shipping at least two parcels of prescription cough syrup to Texas, DEA officials said Wednesday, a day after the player was arrested at team headquarters. While Kiel did not tell the DEA his motive, the agency in Texas has found widespread abuse of codeine-based cough syrup mixed with soft drinks or drugs and referred to as "lean," said John S. Fernandes, the special agent in charge of the San Diego office. A pint bottle of "lean" can cost between $200 and $325 on the street, he said.
Another promising career ruined by the 'ryp. Oh cruel cough syrup, how I hate thee. How many young lives must you claim!
In other news, Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Terrell Owens tried to kill himself, or maybe he didn't:
[Owens] was rushed to a Dallas hospital Tuesday night to be treated for what police initially described as a suicide attempt using prescription medication. He returned for a light workout Wednesday afternoon at the team’s Valley Ranch practice facility, less than two hours after being discharged from Baylor university Medical Center in Dallas. He explained at a news conference that he had been rendered incoherent by a combination of painkillers and herbal supplements, but said emphatically, “There was no suicide attempt.”
See folks. All just a big misunderstanding. Like the time my friend Jack fell off that bridge. With his wrists cut.
