Also the drug he is apparently accused of is pretty much impossible to get now...more or less discontinued other than from black market suppliers...

 

Hey did you guys hear that @Booch is accusing Harris of buying black market drugs*?!

Let’s piss and moan about losing AH for a couple of games. Include how wrong he was to get caught. Add, he deserves it, the league is out to get him, or any other opinion that pops up. 

The way to get through this is handled as best it can by Wade Miller. As an organization, move on, nose to the grindstone next two weeks, focus on preparation for the opposition. Get a couple of wins, stay in first, and this gets behind the squad.

I disagree... let's start McGuire at QB and Streveller at RB.... 😂

my first thought - wow this would be kind of cool...

[max power]

I'm pretty surprised at all the CFL players and media guys from other cities taking shots at Harris.  Surprised mostly at the players... you don't see a lot of that in other sports.

Can you imagine Crosby tweeting out shots at Kuznetsov, laughing at him?  To me, things like that make the CFL look more minor league than anything.  I mean, Jordan Reaves, really.... Just when the Rider fans have something to lord over the Bombers, he basically stands up and shouts to the world "DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME, I GOT CAUGHT SELLING COKE!".

Cant really fault the fans on having to process this. The players have had time to do so. The internet moves fast though. I think most will be back on the AH train in a coue weeks

True this- popped over there for a bit and man... so much... riderfans. I wanted to gouge out my eyes. Especially the ignorant comments from that pap-smearcam guy (what kind of ******* handle is that for a football forum?)... ugh he is one of the worst from a really awful lot.

Definitely makes me really sad. Taints all the good stuff around him, like the recent record that he broke.....all the hype about how good he's been. All the talk about MOP this year? Out the window completely. Just for optics sake, he'll get ZERO votes for awards at the end of the year...

Kind of indicates this is the long awaited crescendo of his career, mostly down-slope from this point on.

I thought so too. I’ve personally seen him do other illegal activities, rhymes with poke! He should keep his mouth shut. 

Since when is telling a joke illegal?

Thigpen is still on their roster so I guess they are fine with it.

I am so wanting to make some Eric Tillman and Trevis Smith comments

Harris is the MOP in the CFL this season, so losing him hurts. But, we were probably looking at a split with the next two games anyways, Harris or not. The Bombers can still get a split. Might even be able to take both. And, player with the most touches in the CFL  gets a rest heading into the toughest part of the season. Not great, but, not the end of the world. 

Plus, he can use the time off to really hit the gym 😉

Both those guys. WAY worse behaviour by far than what our guy is charged with.

A little levity, through Mr. Silverback finding a silver lining. Well done. 

[Bubba Zanetti]

Wow, looks like he deleted his twitter account now. Must have been blowing up with trash talk. This is really going to tarnish his legacy. What a sad state of affairs. Brutal.

Why would you go over to the Rider forum in the first place? You honestly can't be surprised that they would be taking pot shots. Why inflict that upon yourself?

Rider fans are unemployed so they can troll him endlessly.

[Mr. Perfect]

Agree with the sentiment expressed by Mike and a number of others. No excuses. You got busted, plain and simple. It's a black mark and tarnishes the team and Harris himself obviously. 

That said, if anything, this makes me want to beat the living piss out of the Riders even more.

[rebusrankin]

I'm torn but for now I am in the no excuses, you got caught camp. Totally disappointing.

Frustrated too because to me it helps the Riders but then again maybe we use it as a rallying point. Can we get Dave Ritchie in to do an its us against the world speech?

[Mr Dee]

I don’t really care about this outcome. He got caught doing something that is not legal in the sporting game. And so, he is being punished. Not going to comment on the validity of the results because I’m devoid of such knowledge.

But, that steroid only kept him on the field. It did not affect his heart. By that I mean his desire was still there, and the effort cannot be questioned. He is still a great running ball. Only now, his accomplishments will be questioned. 

Sad really, but he must have known that supplements cannot be trusted as they are not really regulated, if that’s his story.

The results of testing are real. He was found to have positive amounts of a banned substance.

But I can see him bouncing back, and putting in the necessary work, because that’s who he is.

His fellow players are standing behind him, guilty or not, and I am too.

I’ll be looking forward to his return.

Waiting for Harris to name the supplement and the company that makes it. 

Suspect long wait.

Who cares? The day I start giving a **** about what other fans (let alone complete strangers) think of me or my fandom of the bombers is the day I jump off a cliff.

[Arnold_Palmer]

Pretty immature of all these other players going at him knowing full well it could have been them. He got caught and has to deal with the consequences but these players would be wise to keep their mouth shut.
