For those of you who didn’t see the news, RB Onterrio Smith of the Minnesota Vikings was found at the airport with dried urine, and “cleansing” pills so that he can beat the NFL’s drug tests.

The first thing I thought of was the “Piss-Man” on the short-lived Playmaker series on ESPN. A RB on that show (who also has long hair and likes marijuana and other drugs, just like Onterrio), beat the system by using clean piss. The “Piss-Man” is this guy who literally watches you as you piss to make sure the sample comes from your body. Of course, the “Piss-Man” doesn’t know that you injected yourself with clean piss, or in Onterrio’s case, injected yourself with clean, powdered piss.
This story creates a lot of questions, and I’ll do my best to answer them:
1) Why was Smith carrying around this apparatus in April?
The article says that since he’s a repeat offender, Smith is tested “up to 10 times a month for the next 2 years.”
2) Why would you ever take it to the airport with you?
My only thinking is, Smith was personally delivering this apparatus to make some extra money. If I’m in the business of selling clean piss, I would want a celebrity to endorse my product, and Onterrio Smith would be a great, affordable choice. Smith claims it was for “his cousin.” By cousin, he definitely means customers.
3) Why did he have a bottle of pills labeled “cleansing formula?”
The only possible reason is that he also had pills that were labeled, “Illegal NFL Steroids.”
4) Why don’t baseball players ever get caught like this?
First, baseball just started it’s testing system. Give it time. Second, the reason baseball players don’t get caught with dried piss, is that they can hide it inside their baseball bats, which get shipped by the team for each road trip.
