AP is reporting that the current and former Carolina Panthers linked to the indicted Dr. James M. Shortt will be subject to as many as 24 random drug tests each year. That’s a lot of urine…
A CBS News report in March identified center Jeff Mitchell, tackle Todd Steussie and punter Todd Sauerbrun as having filled steroid prescriptions written by Shortt. Several other former Panthers were also named as Shortt’s patients in subsequent media reports.
Of the players identified in the initial CBS report, only Mitchell, the Panthers’ starting center, remains with the team. Steussie is with Tampa Bay and Sauerbrun was traded to Denver.
