So it wasn’t weed or a performance enhancing drug that got Orlando Scandrick suspended for the first four games of the Cowboys season, it was MDMA (Molly) according to sources. And guess this, he’s blaming Draya for it. Did Draya slip a molly in his champagne and he aint even know it? Keep reading!

Sources told Werder that the violation occurred while Scandrick was vacationing in Mexico with an ex-girlfriend, whom he has claimed persuaded him to add a substance he didn’t realize was on the banned list into a cocktail they were drinking.
According to a source with knowledge of the situation, Scandrick failed a drug test in April and appealed its findings. The league rendered its decision Monday. He will lose approximately $1 million through four missed game checks and a signing bonus repayment.
In a statement released through his agent, Ron Slavin, Scandrick insisted he did not knowingly take a banned substance.
“I would like to apologize to my children, my family, the Jones family, my coaches, my teammates and my fans,” Scandrick said in the statement. “Failing a drug test is far out of my character, and although I never knowingly took a performance-enhancing drug/banned stimulant while on vacation in Mexico, I take full responsibility for what goes in my body and more importantly for the embarrassment of a failed drug test. It’s my goal by issuing this statement to clear my name and more importantly to be judged by what happens to me in the future.
“I hope that my family, my Cowboys football family and all my fans can forgive me for this situation. I look forward to a successful 2014 season.
This is terrible and Draya and Orlando should both have known better. They’re both adults and they BOTH know Orlando’s job does not play when it comes to drug use. Why would they jeopardize his money like that? I have no words. Let this be a lesson.
