Very disappointed in some of you pathetic Panthers "fans" that don't believe Thomas Davis's explanation. I'm sure you're the same people that will be selling your PSL tickets to Cowboys fans Week 1.

It's a clearly stated rule. I'm not sure how much more simply you need it explained.

I don't trust a single athlete when it comes to failed drug or PED tests.

If you don't know who Thomas Davis is by now, that's on you. Same goes for ladypanther, Moo Daeng, and any other Panthers "fan" that believes Roger Goodell over Thomas Davis.

I know that Thomas is my favorite Panther of all time.  I know that he has miraculously come back from 3 ACL tears.  I know that he loves this game, and the Panthers.  I know that he is a great man.

I also know that these guys have a hard time giving it up, and many more of them take performance enhancing drugs than any of us realize.

I also trust that Roger didn't administer the test, didn't test the sample, and didn't come up with the diagnosis.  His office merely handed down the punishment.

Fair enough. My contention will always be that TD did not intend to take a banned substance. If you're a Panthers fan that thinks otherwise, you need to rethink things.

You can have that opinion, and I'll have mine.  TD wants to play, his body is betraying (if you can even call it that at his age) him, and he likely took a gamble to get ready.

Now, I'm not a high and mighty kind of guy...I don't think 1 iota less of TD for taking a PED, knowingly or otherwise.

Manning 1 takes some stuff?  I betcha.  Brady and Brees...would be shocked if they didn't...just part of the game...don't think any less of them either way.

TD got reckless in his fight against time and now has to face the consequences. He wasn’t caught in some coverup like Peyton Manning so I’ve got no reason to look at him differently, but Man of the Year messed up and has to be held accountable either way.

Don't know where you came up with associating me with that. Unfair and wrong.

This I believe....that he did not intend to.  But, seems that he did.  TD spoke up and took responsibility.  Please stop attacking us (me) because you are frustrated.

Who cares - TD got caught cheating and suffer whatever the consequences are.

My apologies then. It did seem like you were saying he intended to cheat and there needed to be consequences for that.

People actually think players accidentally take banned substances?  Especially aging players?  I guess TD just accidentally added some estrogen blockers to his corn flakes.

It's not impossible to take a banned substance and not know it. One of the medications I take on a regular basis changed the binder and I didn't know it. I had a pretty severe reaction to the binder and had to sit down with the pharmacist and go through all the ingredients to figure out what had changed. I'm not saying that's what happened in this instance, I'm just saying ingredients get changed in many different things and we're not always aware.
