This is the second such violation that has seen Ferguson suspended.  In 1999 he sat out 4 games for testing positive for steroids. 



StarCaps case trial begins today

Minnesota Vikings Pat Williams and Kevin Williams have their day in state court.  Also see SLT blogs of 2/22/10, 12/16/09, 11/4/09, 9/16/09, and 7/10/09. 

New Orleans Saints Charles Grant and Will Smith, who were suspended for testing positive for a banned diuretic in 2008, will be affected by the outcome.  Although not parties to the lawsuit, they are currently not under suspension due to a decision by the NFL to wait upon that action until the Vikings' case is decided.
