It is common in athletics today for players to take performance enhancing drugs. That would get both college and pro players suspended. As in the case of Lance Armstrong, it could even make you forfeit seven Tour de France titles!

But it is not those types of performance enhancers stolen by members of the Ball State football team. I am sure this made famous alum David Letterman proud. In fact I would guess this will turn into some type of top 10 list. As reported in larrybrownsports.com.

If it was not a crime it might be kind of “punny” that Ball State players stole drugs to help them perform in the sack.

Ball State starting defensive end Jonathan Newsome can’t seem to stay out of trouble, and it turns out he is doing a tremendous job of embarrassing himself along the way. Newsome has been suspended for the first two games of the season after he was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana during a routine traffic stop. Officers also found that Newsome’s license plate was expired and that he had an outstanding warrant on a charge of conversion which stemmed from a shoplifting incident that involved fellow teammate Toney Williams. That’s where things get really entertaining.

When you hear that a college athlete gets arrested for possession of marijuana, your initial thought might be “typical college kid.” When you hear that the same athlete got arrested for trying to boost some Viagra — not so much.

Embarrassing. Marijuana and Viagra. Hopefully he will be mandated to a Indiana theft class and a drug class too.
