Quote:Your willing to give him the benefit of the doubt but still drug test him. That is the opposite of benefit of the doubt IMO.

 

I'm willing to trust the officers that responded to the scene and the fact that the Sheriff is not is a very damning insinuation that he himself does not trust his officers IMO. A much deeper problem than someone falling asleep at the wheel.

 

I believe it's possible with the vehicle partly submerged exhaust fumes could have been pressured into the vehicle if the exhaust pipes were blocked by water as they waited for a tow inside the car with the a/c on. They both could have been poisoned by carbon monoxide explaining their deep sleep.

Yes, I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt that he wasn't chemically impaired.  That doesn't mean that I don't feel he should be tested by the league just to confirm that he's at least not violating any league substance policies. 

 

I don't distrust the officers who responded.  But, there is certainly enough questions there to warrant further review to make sure nobody turned a blind eye because it was a Jaguar player.  I don't anticipate that is the case, but with the way the local media has tried to spin this into a bigger story than it probably; is, due diligence is absolutely required in order to assure that nobody cut any corners on this. 

 

There are certainly a multitude of scenarios to explain why Robinson and passenger appeared to be asleep including the potential for carbon monoxide poisoning.  That doesn't necessarily explain how the car ended up in the water to begin with.
