Enough that coming out of HS was already in a legal situation where he was not allowed to leave the state of Texas, that's why he went to Baylor it was the best football school in Texas that offered him a scholarship knowing he wouldn't be allowed to play road games. I have a VERY hard time believing an 18 year old gets in that situation just from smoking pot.
He admitted he did more, he admitted he regularly played NFL games under the influence of drugs, yes pot was his clear drug of choice but he used all sorts of other things.
-------------------------------------
At Lamar, Gordon said he joined a gang, Six Deuce Harvard Park Brim Blood, which involved carrying and shooting a gun — never “maliciously,” he said — stealing cars, fighting, scamming businesses with counterfeit money, and dealing drugs.
Gordon said he sold drugs, mainly marijuana, to “feed” himself. He said he smoked marijuana every day and drank vodka from Minute Maid bottles during class. He said he also started drinking codeine syrup mixed with soda his junior year and experimented with Xanax, hydrocodone, and oxycodone at nearly every opportunity. Before football games, Gordon said he would chug Mad Dog 20-20, flavored fortified wine, to gauge whether he could play drunk.
Gordon told
GQ his usage “became the norm” in high school and said it was “on an accelerated pace” by the time he turned 20 years old.
College (Baylor): Gordon was recruited by several Div. I programs, but chose Baylor because his supervised probation following a felony credit card theft when he was 17 years old prevented him from living outside the state of Texas. Gordon was required to return home to Houston once a month for drug tests and he said he only passed because his diluted samples were never flagged.
---------------------
based on what I've read it would seem his alcohol use is probably his biggest risk, not pot, but he's used stuff heavier than pot so we have no idea what he was caught using this time beyond the PED's.
Very sad story.
