DEA Looking Into Vicodin Abuse Allegations Against Saints

Sean Payton might say that the allegations against him and a fellow coach regarding Vicodin-abuse are false,but the DEA is looking into the matter just the same according to the AP.

“The DEA was referred this case and there is a pending investigation,” said Special Agent Roberto Bryan Jr., a New Orleans-based spokesman for the Drug Enforcement Administration.

“It hasn’t been turned into a criminal investigation as of yet,” Fortunato said.

Of course what many are waiting to see is whether or not Roger Goodell gets involved or makes a comment on the matter. Neither looks like for the moment, at least until the DEA or the courts make a decision first.
