:lol:

I am pretty sure the Redskins FO knew this was coming. That why they brought in so many reievers. I dont buy Jason Ried's story that this may change their mind about TO. If the sign TO it would not be because they just found this out.

We ALWAYS bring in a ton of WRs. Roydell is a frequent invite/cut.

Do any of the guys they brought in have the speed that Moss has. I know they say Galloway can still move but he can't be faster than moss. I just assumed they brought in these extra bodies to motivate/mentor Thomas and Kelly.

Can someone bring me up to date on what happened here so I don't have to read 17 pages of post as I have been out of town for the past 7 days.

Here is the Buffalo News story:NFL name emerges in doping case with doctor : City & Region : The Buffalo News (http://www.buffalonews.com/2010/05/20/1056021/nfl-name-emerges-in-doping-case.html)

Santana Moss, a wide receiver for the NFL’s Washington Redskins, is one of the professional athletes who allegedly received treatment from a Toronto physician charged Tuesday with smuggling muscle-building drugs into the United States, according to sources close to the case.

But at this point, federal prosecutors do not intend to file criminal charges against Moss or any other athlete who had dealings with the doctor.

That word came Wednesday afternoon from William J. Hochul Jr., U. S. attorney in Buffalo.

“At this juncture, any of the persons who are alleged to have used these substances are considered witnesses, and not targets, of this investigation,” Hochul told The Buffalo News.
...
His lawyers, including Mark J. Mahoney of Buffalo, denied the allegations of wrongdoing against the doctor. ...

“Officials of the NFL and other sports organizations can sleep soundly tonight, because there is nothing he did with these athletes to help them with performance enhancement,” Mahoney said Wednesday.

“[Galea] strictly provided treatment for injuries. If any athlete got [human growth hormone], it was injected directly into injured tissue, in very small amounts, for purposes of healing.”

Agents questioned more than a dozen American athletes about the treatment they received from Galea, authorities said.

...

Moss, 30, is not mentioned by name in court papers filed in Galea’s case on Tuesday, and the Redskins player is not charged with any crime.

An employee at the Miami Beach office of Moss’ agent, Drew Rosenhaus, declined to comment when contacted by The News.

“There won’t be any comment along those lines from Santana,” said the employee, who did not give his name.
...
Galea never obtained legal permission to work as a doctor or in any other capacity in the United States, according to a court affidavit filed by Justin J. Burnham, an agent with Immigration & Customs Enforcement.
...
Galea’s then-assistant, Mary Anne Catalano, was arrested at the Peace Bridge last Sept. 14, and federal agents found banned drugs, syringes and other medical equipment in her vehicle, authorities said.

Authorities said Catalano was going to transport the drugs to Washington, where Galea was going to treat a pro football player.

Since her arrest, Catalano has cooperated with federal investigators with information about her boss and his treatment of athletes.
I cut out alot, but thought these points were interesting
