The NFL's anti-doping policy is strict, and is not taken lightly when abused. Even when it is claimed to be a mistake, it is still a difficult situation to be in. The Vikings' Defensive Tackles, Pat and Kevin Williams, are in this situation right now. A temporary restraining order has been issued at the players request. The Williamses were among six players suspended for four games for testing positive for a diuretic that can be used for masking steroids. They claim that the substance containing the diuretic did not list all of its ingredients and that NFL scientists and lawyers withheld information about the substance from players. The Williamses are a huge part of the Vikings' team, and a key piece to there success this season. The Vikings have a 7-5 record and are sitting in first place at the top of the NFC North. The two Pro Bowl tackles are the foundation of one of the league's top run defenses. Without the Williams Wall, the Vikings would not be as well off as they are at the time being. Ellis Wyms, the backup to Kevin Williams, said that they are probably the most dedicated teammates that he has. Luckily for the Vikings, the Williams Wall is intact. At least for now.
