Birmingham News: Boogs taking drugs and sharing them in the locker room.

Some Alabama players used these chips several years ago and the coaching staff made them quit using them. According to the guy that sells them (comes on Finebaum every now and then) they are legal. I think the question for the barn is how or if they were paid for.

Thanks for the additional info.

Problem is that "supplements" in Health Stores, etc are not under the auspices of the FDA.  There is a lot of fraud in supplement sales.  The FDA has been trying to get more governance over supplements, and investigates when someone dies, but little else.  Read an example:

They're not drugs. They are rubber band bracelets with a shiny piece of metal (aluminum) chips mounted on them.. The saleman has been on Finebaum before pushing them as energy boosting. They have been exposed as worthless.

Power Balance bracelets are 'no better than a rubber band': A-list accessory maker forced to give refunds by advertising watchdog:


Power Balance bracelets exposed as useless rubber. All the kids are wearing them. My daughter is wearing a Crimson Tide one right now. They cost like $30 dollars. I know a ripoff.

I know very little about these chips but I have listened to him on Finebaum at least twice. I was not impressed and Finebaum gave him a real hard time. Here is the website link:

They sell them for $5 at gun shows.  A bargain, but still a ripoff.

$5 for the rubber band and $25 for the Crimson Tide lettering.

As I recall, PF let him on the first time and seemed seriously interested. The second time was when he hammered him as a snakeoil salesman.

I think you are right.

Just noticing your signature line, pmull. PSU has some serious QB troubles,-- maybe 2 guys with 50% or less completions.

I put the Jesse signature line on right after the Penn State game. I have thought about changing it. Beating Penn State ain't what it used to be. Wisconsin may be OK but the rest of the Big Ten is awful.

I saw Kuiyam visited Thursday night but he didn't post anything that I'm aware of. I would like to meet him and his family on the quad today. He mentioned a couple of weeks ago about coming and staying for a month.
