The Tribune has learned that the Bucs conducted their own investigation into the incident involving Boston and are confident he is innocent of the charges levied against him. As a result, he is expected to play tonight and will likely continue to work towards making the 53-man roster.

?We have investigated the David Boston situation and feel that we have an understanding of the facts,?? Bucs General Manager Bruce Allen said in a statement. ?At this time, we have seen no objective evidence to support the charges that were brought against him.??

The results of the urine test are not expected to be known for a couple days. The Bucs appear confident the results will be negative. If they are, there?s a good chance Boston becomes part of the 2007 Bucs. In this, his second comebeack attempt since knee injuries derailed his career three years ago, Boston was proving to be one of the better receivers in the Bucs camp.

For those who are too lazy to watch:

At about 2 minutes in, before any tests, Boston says that he doesnt want to do the tests because he has issues with his balance due to injuries. The officer asks him to do the balance tests anyway. Boston says "You know what man, I'm gonna call my attourney because I don't like the way this is headed". The cop says "You don't have the right to call your attourney right now David". Boston says "I don't want to get screwed and charged with a DUI because of some test because of my balance". The cop says "You have the right to do any field sobriety tests required by law, it's on your license.".

Boston "Give me a breathalyzer or a blood test"

Officer in a bit of a condescending tone "I know it's not alcohol sir"

Boston "huh?"

Officer still in a bit of a condescending tone "I know it's not alcohol"

Boston "What's not alcohol?"

By Monday all will probably hear whether or not there was anything found in Boston's blood work-up.

If nothing of consequence is found, and with this viral video at their side, I would then expect an adversarial posture by Boston's attorney to the charging officer.

If, however, something other than alcohol is found then perhaps the officer's words "I know it's not alcohol" may become predictive.

EDIT: Interesting article from Tampa Bay ... Bucs Stand Behind Boston

"We have investigated the David Boston situation and feel that we have an understanding of the facts,'' Allen said. "At this time, we have seen no objective evidence to support the charges that were brought against him.''

DUI Test Results In Boston Case Could Come By Thursday
Skip directly to the full story.

Published: Aug 28, 2007

PINELLAS PARK - The results of David Boston's urine test could be back from the laboratory as early as Thursday, Pinellas Park police said.

Details regarding the Bucs wide receiver's traffic stop Thursday, when he was arrested and charged with driving under the influence, were revealed in a police report Monday.

The Pinellas County Forensic Laboratory has been asked to test Boston's urine for a variety of controlled substances, including the so-called "date rape" drug GHB, as well PCP, Ketamine and Dextromethorphan.

After Boston blew a triple zero on a breath test for alcohol, he gave a sample of his urine, the report said. A test for evidence of 10 drugs showed no evidence of any of them, the report said.

The forensic laboratory is expected to test Boston's urine for a wider range of drugs, Capt. Sanfield Forseth said.

"You're not going to find anything in my urine," Boston told police Friday, according to the report.

Meanwhile, Bucs coach Jon Gruden said he did not discipline Boston by making him sit out one quarter of Saturday's exhibition game against Miami. Boston, who had started the first two exhibitions, did not appear until the second quarter. Ike Hilliard started in place of Boston, but Gruden said Boston was not being punished.

"There is no evidence to support that [arrest]. Whatever happens will obviously be determined," Gruden said. "There is no evidence we have to support those accusations. It [the arrest] had nothing to do with [Boston not starting]. We wanted to see Hilliard on the first play of the game because he's a good player."

According to the police report, Boston said he ended up in Pinellas Park because he was coming from an unfamiliar area where he had met a Bucs trainer. He came to the police's attention after he was found unresponsive at the wheel of a sport utility vehicle in a travel lane.

"This happened to me last year," Boston reportedly told police. "I don't know what it was then. I just need to leave and get back to Tampa."

When he had trouble keeping his balance during a field sobriety test, Boston said his leg was not "coordinatively right," the report said. Boston also mentioned his left knee was bad and that he had surgeries on both knees, the report says.
