The Irish Doggy Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 (edited) This is only a rumor. Source: someone who works out with someone in the front office. Normaly I would disregard this kind of thing as pure baloney, but events this offseason make me wonder... MLB Odell Thurman is rumored to be hooked on an illegal drug (possibly Meth) and has lost a significant amount of weight - 30 lbs or so. This is why he was excused for "personal reasons" from mandatory camps this Spring - the Bengals didn't want everyone to see how much weight he lost. ....And now he's suspended 4 games for substance abuse. This has been your nasty rumor for the day. Edited July 19, 2006 by The Irish Doggy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 Next thing the NFL will start testing for meth. I heard they hired the head of baseball's drug testing program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vote Quimby2 Posted July 19, 2006 Share Posted July 19, 2006 He went from like 290 to 260. so did he go on meth as a diet plan because he was obviously eating just fine before. this seems pretty farfetched to me. it's not that hard to lose that kind of weight in a couple of months with out resorting to meth.

You're confusing him with Ahmad Brooks, the guy they took in the supplemental draft. He was rumored to be up to 290 and then down to 260 when he was picked.

This has been your nasty rumor for the day. Not saying I believe this but it makes about as much sense as anything. Thurman was arguably one of the best rookie LBs last year. I definitely had him in the top ten for my IDP leagues. It's hard to understand why someone that talented would just toss it down the crapper to get high. I've heard that meth is one of the most addicting drugs there is, so who knows, maybe it's true. I was thinking Josh Gordon or steroids. Whatever it is, it's a really freaking sad situation.
