Sam Hurd was arrested for trying to buy cocaine and marijuana from an undercover cop and he said to the undercover that he had a drug sale system that he had already going on and that he had been already distributing four kilos a week of cocaine in the Chicago area with a co-conspirator and it was not enough and was looking for more so he was trying to setup transfer of 5-10 kilos of cocaine and a 1000 pounds of marijuana a week. He was also looking Mexican cellphones because he believed that the cops could not track Mexican cellphones and the story has been building up for quite a while as his co-conspirator met on July 27th in Dallas just before Hurd signed a 3 year/5.1 millions deal after playing for the Cowboys and the co-conspirator bought 5 kilos of cocaine from the agent on August 14 on behalf of Hurd.
So it will be very interesting to see if the NFL will suspend him for the rest of the season and will he be black balled out of the league at the end of the season and it sounds like there maybe a list of NFL players that are provided with stuff through Hurd and his co-conspirator. This means if he is out of the league and stuff will hit the fan because he will most likely want to make his money back by given up some of the names on the list.
In the end the reality is that the NFL will take this situation to the woodshed and make this a top priority and the the steroid will continue to happen and certain positive tests will magically disappear as they also focus on a couple of players like Shawne Merriman who get caught often while most others get off scott free. So this a big story and will be attempted to be squashed and it will in the end mask the overriding situation of cleaning up the steroid use in the league.
Another interesting day in the NFL
