I didn't see any problem with the way David acted... I'd be pissed off to and get an attitude with someone making me do those tests, when I was just sleeping in my car.. Did he do those tests perfectly, na.. but i dont think i could either.. especially with the cop pestering me the whole time about how Im not doing the test exactly the way he wanted..

The cop was wierd to, goin on and on about how it's impressive he does what he does despite not finishing college.. what the heck is he talkin about.. He also kept saying he didn't want to say on tape what David does for a living, but then goes on to talk about training camp, etc...

To me it looked like the officer had a bit of a power trip

Boston to Face DUI Charge
ANNE LINDBERG
ST. PETERSBURG TIMES

PINELLAS PARK | Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver David Boston will face a DUI charge after urinalysis test results were returned to the Pinellas Park Police Department, officials said Thursday.

Police said they will not disclose details of the test results, but the Pinellas-Pasco State Attorney's office will pursue a misdemeanor DUI charge against Boston.

"The result of the urinalysis will not be released by the Pinellas Park Police Department at this time as the case remains under active investigation and prosecution," police spokesman Sandy Forseth said.

Florida has a broad public records law that allows documents that are part of an active investigation to be withheld until investigation is completed. Generally speaking, however, police will release information when their investigation is concluded even if the state attorney becomes involved. Forseth conceded the situation is unusual.

"It's not common, but I think it depends on who's involved legally," Forseth said.

The decision to withhold information, he said, came after speaking with the state attorney's office.

The Buccaneers have been emphatic that Boston is innocent, but after practice Thursday, coach Jon Gruden said he was unable to comment.

"I don't have any information on that. Once we get information, we'll move on accordingly. We'll see for ourselves exactly what is going on with this case and we'll react, obviously, accordingly," Gruden said. "I'm just walking off the field.

"Right now, I'm not going to plead the Fifth here. I don't have any information at my fingertips to talk about. When I do, we'll have something to say."

"All I am able to say at this time is that I have done nothing wrong; I was not impaired. I have assured, and will continue to assure, the Buccaneers that I have done nothing wrong," Boston said. "And in the end, when this matter is resolved, the facts will show that I have done nothing wrong. I appreciate the Buccaneers organization believing in me and the fans for their support."

Stevens, Boston on board
The Bucs are making final preparations here at One Buc Place to fly to Seattle in a couple hours, and it appears they'll have two of their embattled players along for the ride.

Coach Jon Gruden said Jerramy Stevens, who is awaiting the outcome of his DUI trial in Scottsdale, Ariz., and David Boston, who will face DUI charges in Pinellas county, will travel with the team and play on Sunday.

Gruden continues to support Boston, who told Gruden he is innocent, according to the coach. Gruden wouldn't say whether the receiver would start on Sunday, preferring to keep his lineup plans secret.

Boston tested positive for GHB
PINELLAS PARK ? Buccaneers wide receiver David Boston was under the influence of GHB when found asleep behind the wheel of his SUV last month, police say.

Boston was arrested and charged with misdemeanor DUI on Aug. 23, pending the results of a urinalysis. The test results came back last week and Pinellas Park police said the DUI charge would stand. But police refused to disclose the substance that Boston was alleged to have taken, saying the case was still being investigated. Pinellas Park police on Monday released the details of those tests, which were confirmed by two separate labs. Police spokesman Sandy Forseth said using two labs is department protocol.

GHB, or gamma hydroxybutyrate, has been abused in the U.S. since about 1990 for its euphoric, sedative, and anabolic (body building) effects. It is a central nervous system depressant that was widely available over-the-counter in health food stores during the 1980s and until 1992. It was purchased largely by body builders to aid in fat reduction and muscle building. In lower doses, GHB causes drowsiness, dizziness, nausea and visual disturbances. Street names include "liquid ecstasy," "soap," "easy lay," "vita-G," and "Georgia home boy."

Boston has declared his innocence, saying in a statement last week, ?I have done nothing wrong. I was not impaired.?

Boston's attorney, Ronald Hanes, could not be reached for comment.

NFL vice president of public relations, Greg Aiello, said, ?The matter is under review. It falls under the substance abuse policy.?

Buccaneer football player David Boston: Using date rape drug?
By: Tammie Fields

Tampa, Florida ? David Boston said during the Buccaneers training camp in Lake Buena Vista that he's been teased before about his big biceps.

Boston is a wide receiver and is 29 years old. He's number 89 and is 6'2, 228 pounds. He said, "If anything they try to get in your head and say something negative trying to make it seem like you use different products and stuff like that."

That's exactly what Boston is accused of doing too. Lab results reveal that it was Gamma Hydroxybutyric Acid, GHB, in his system when he was arrested on August 23rd by the Pinellas Park Police department for DUI.

Scott Brickett is the head athletic trainer at the University of Tampa. He explained why GHB, something known more as the knock out drug, is becoming popular with some athletes. "Yes it's illegal in most sports, however, it is not truly a steroid but it is detectable. It's just more difficult," he said.

For 11 years Brickett has worked on the collegiate level, and also in the pro's, and says GHB is hard to detect in drug tests. He says it's popular because it's advertised as something to help athletes bodies recover quickly. "Again if I'm in two a days in professional football and my body is constantly being broken down that's going to help me recover," Brickett said.

But the problem is it can also kill you by leaving you in a coma which is why most athletes can only get it from the internet.

Well, the good news is he can probably beat the DUI with that, a good lawyer can argue his case that the GHB was there a day or two prior to operating his automobile. However, that doesn't help his situation with the NFL, odds are he's screwed.
