It says he tested positive for the Gigglebush before. If he cant stop smoking with all this on the line he will def turn into another Ricky Williams.
He shud open a bong shop instead of playing in the NFL.
Word was four players tested positive for drugs at the combine, but their names were being held pending a re-test. Supposedly two were first-round candidates.
Very interesting. This could be the first big shakeup of the top 10 before the draft, or a big nothing. I believe Raji had some history of MJ use, so I don't think it's entirely shocking. But if it drops him to the mid-1st round or later, that would be huge. I would still consider Raji and absolute steal if he fell anywhere close to where the Pats are picking. Raji at 23 (or with a trade-up) and Barwin at 34 would be my absolute top combo in the entire draft, bar none.

Glad I didn't take him #1 overall with the Lions now.
He's still top 5 material IMO. If you recall Amobi Okoye and Gaines Adams tested positive for pot just prior to the 2007 draft. And they both went in the top 10.
That must be some awfully fine weed to be worth a million dollars a joint.
This will cost him millions.
He won't get passed GB at 9 IMO.
Wow he smoked weed? Who cares. It's really not a big deal. He'll at least stop smoking during the season because he'll be tested for it now probably. I hope he falls. If he fell to 23 I will be laughing my butt off.
“Last Thursday, at least two websites published malicious rumors – characterized as fact – that our client B.J. Raji failed a drug test at the NFL Combine, citing unnamed ‘NFL team sources.’ On Friday, the NFL issued a statement challenging the foundation for these reports and indicating that neither the League, nor its member clubs, know the results of drug or steroid tests taken at the 2009 Combine and that the independent medical advisors who administer the tests have notified in writing those players – and only those players – who tested positive at the Combine.
“B.J. Raji has NOT received any letter from the NFL or the Independent Administrator indicating that he tested positive for drugs at the Combine. Further, after these unsubstantiated reports surfaced, B.J. contacted the independent medical advisor’s office (Dr. Lawrence Brown) to confirm that he had not been sent any letter and has not been entered into the NFL’s Drug Intervention Program. B.J. did not receive a return call from Dr. Brown, but learned today that Dr. Brown is not allowed to talk to any player directly unless that player was sent a letter informing him that he had failed a drug test at the NFL Combine and/or been instructed to contact Dr. Brown. That Dr. Brown will not talk to B.J. – as Dr. Brown would otherwise be expected to do under the NFL Substance Abuse Policy if B.J. had failed a drug test or being sent a letter directing him to contact the medical advisor’s office – is further proof that these reports are untrue.
“In short, and as we have known all along, the media reports accusing B.J. of a failed drug test at the Combine are false. Given the cowardly attacks and damage to B.J.’s character as a result of these vicious rumors, we sincerely hope that the responsible parties are discovered and held accountable for their actions. For the sake of B.J. and his family, we look forward to putting this hurtful allegation behind them and seeing B.J. fulfill his lifetime dream of being drafted by an NFL team.”
