Found this old article on Shane Olivea receiving a four game suspension for failing an NFL drug test.

Looks like it went deeper than that. After his rookie season, he was so sore that he took a Vicodin given to him by a friend of a friend. He became addicted.

“At my height on Vicodin, I would take 125 a day,” he said. “It got to the point I would take a pile of 15 Vicodin and would have to take them with chocolate milk. If I did it with water or Gatorade, I’d throw it up.”

He said he didn’t get the pills from the Chargers. He had his own sources, including one across the nearby border in Mexico. He would park his car at an Arby’s, call a taxi driver he knew and pay him $100 to go to a Tijuana “pharmacy.”

Now he has eight years clean, and graduated from OSU on Sunday. He hopes to get into coaching and help others. Good for him.
