On the banned list is glucocorticosteroids. Anti-inflammatory agent used to treat pain, arthritis, asthma, allergic reaction, etc. I would ASSUME this would be what he popped positive for.

That's what I was saying... if he was out for the year already, which he was, and the doctor put him on the steroids to deal with his concussion and shoulder, then screw the NFL, this is just another ploy to keep him out of a Steelers game. (more than likely).
Quote:ESPN.com is reporitng that Burfict argues he couldn't be using any drugs to enhance his condition when he wasn't playing. The web site said he failed the test Dec. 27, when he had already had been declared out for the season's last game and was taking prescription medication for the concussion he suffered agaiunst the Steelers and a shoulder injury against the Lions in the last month of the season.
He's right, and I'm calling straight up BS.... funny how he flunks at test in December, and they wait till the Bengals are making some pretty good moves to make a run before they announce this.....
