Lawyer: NFL didn't warn about banned substance
NEW YORK | The lawyer for three New Orleans Saints players facing suspension said Wednesday the NFL's independent drug administrator acknowledged he did not inform NFL players that the supplement StarCaps contained a banned diuretic.
During the players' appeals hearing, attorney David Cornwell said that Dr. John Lombardo's testimony proved none of his clients -- Deuce McAllister, Will Smith or Charles Grant -- took steroids.
Cornwell said in an e-mail that Lombardo testified he learned in late 2006 that StarCaps contained Bumetanide, a diuretic considered a masking agent for steroids.
