I would bet dollars to donuts he wasn't doing anything that involved illegal drugs, that his administration of medication was not reckless, and that if there were legal issues and laws that were skirted by standard operating procedure league wide he really didn't know that.

The Bengals were among the teams that were named in the Washington Post report as having received warning letters about nonlicensed team personnel, such as athletic trainers, dispensing medication.
