The NFL says there is no way players can beat its drug test for marijuana by drinking liquid masking agents, as Ricky Williams says many players around the league routinely do.
Those who make the substances suggest the NFL leadership is, well, smoking something.
"I'm sure they believe what they say but the fact of the matter is we have been helping people pass drug tests for 14 years," said Tony Wilson, spokesman for Spectrum Labs. "We wouldn't be in business that long if we were selling snake oil."
Williams, before boarding a plane to Asia and embarking on his NFL retirement, said he was flagged by the NFL for a positive drug test because he neglected to use a special liquid beforehand that masks marijuana use. Williams wasn't specific about which product he prefers, but said the use of such so-called "detoxifiers" is common among players.
