johnzo Posted July 23, 2019 Report Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) from the article: Quote The CFL said Bourassa tested positive for several banned substances, including Ibutamoren, a growth hormone, and methamphetamine, a stimulant. ... In a statement, the Redblacks said the positive test was the result of a substance found in an over-the-counter product and Bourassa was unaware it contained a banned substance. I've been away from Canada for a few years ... what kind of over-the-counter stuff contains meth? maybe the test detected some pseudoephedrine?

You hire a business to make the product, but depending on things like, how well they clean the equipment between use, you can get contamination. He says the only reason they even found out was because they do independent 3rd party testing. wbbfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His podcasts with novitzky and armstrong are especially great on these subjects. 1 minute ago, Jpan85 said: Hecht is as savage with the tweets as he is with the hits.

Also yeah, JRE is good more than it isn't (I don't find his stand up funny but he is really funny just talkjng on JRE). If I had to guess he stays away from the Onnit related stuff because he doesn't want it to sound like an infomercial.

Anyways, on Saturday, Gainer the Gopher assaulted a stuffed Lion. He’s in trouble for inappropriate grabbing the lion between the legs and punting him. Even the Gopher’s a hill billy. https://www.ctvnews.ca/sports/saskatchewan-roughriders-mascot-gainer-the-gopher-in-hot-water-once-again-1.4518907 I love that the Lions included PETA in their tweet. 🤣 12 hours ago, wanna-b-fanboy said: Do they get free room and boarding? Depends on the team. Some offer housing while others (like the Bombers) give a housing allowance. I don't know about other teams but there was a report around the time IG Field opened about breakfast and lunch being provided to players. The housing money is not included in the Cap but iirc the cost of the food is. 14 hours ago, B-F-F-C said: All that for $575 cdn every 2 weeks. FYI - the minimum PR salary was raised to $750 every 2 weeks in the 2014 CBA according to CFLdb. I can't find anything that indicates whether it went up again with the recent CBA.

Yeah, you don't have to go any further than TSN.ca or the Bombers' website to see that the main focus these days is video. Noeller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the players get their monies' worth with that deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firekid Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 The FAQ section on the CFL website has some answers on these questions.
