It’s been about three days since Ricky Williams’ surprise retirement from the NFL, and a most unlikely subplot has emerged: supposedly Williams had flunked a drug test, and has since admitted that pot use- as well as use of drug-test masking agents- is rampant throughout the league.
At issue is a product called, I’m not kidding, “Urine Luck,” which is marketed by a BALCO-wannabe firm called Spectrum labs and sold –over the counter- to athletes looking to beat drug tests. About this, I have two questions- one, how in the world could this possibly be legal, and two, if this has been going on for years why am I, just today, hearing of Urine Luck for the first time?
At any rate, the newest NFL player, Brock Lesnar, might want to give Urine Luck a try.
