For people saying he should fight it if he was innocent. There is little to nothing he can do.

While a-rod probably took steroids and stuff he is a big player and when he tried to fight it all that got him was the MLB trying to make the punishment worse.

I have never understood why these steroids or other PEDs are banned. It is nearly impossible to police and I think we have established most everyone does use them. Did Knott use stuff maybe. Was it any worse than what every other player does absolutely not. I would put him on the more honest end of pro athletes.

As much as people want to think the worst of people that get caught I think that when you consistently see these same explanations and can see that the supplements aren't exactly coming from the most honest people. It shows that even if you are talking about the most honest player they can accidentally use the banned substances.

Do I know for a fact he is innocent no. Should it change my view of him absolutely not and if it does then you need to get off you pedestal because I'm sure uou have done just as many bad things as him as well as others.

Well, that sucks for him. Per twitter he hurt his knee yesterday after being back on the practice squad for less than a week and the Eagles waived him with an injury settlement. Given his injury tendencies I have to think this was his last time on an NFL roster.

Makes sense, the knee injury that is, since he was here for a while rehabbing and working out. Just another knee injury at Isu.

Most people ***** about creating a new thread, I'm going to complain about not starting a new thread. He's our guy, why not put it in a new thread rather than bringing up his embarassment again? After all, this is about his knee injury, not about getting caught with PEDs.

Just a thought.

I am pretty sure I read somewhere that he wouldn't even be penalized now with the changes in the drug policy. I however am completely ignorant to if that is true or not. Maybe someone on here knows?
