[Texans] Texans LS Bryan Pittman Did Not Take StarCaps

According to KRIV in Houston (via ESPN), Texans long snapper Bryan Pittman did not take StarCaps, and thus will not challenge his four-game suspension for violating the league’s steroids policy. Pittman reportedly took a banned diuretic via a mechnism other than StarCaps, and tested positive for it. “I want the people and the fans to understand that I was not trying to mask steroids or any banned substances,” Pittman said, per KRIV. “I thought I took the proper procedures and methods by getting a doctor’s authorization to take the diuretic,” Pittman said. “The diuretic I took did not dilute any urine specimen, which is what a player does when they are trying to mask something. The NFL toxicologist confirmed there was nothing else in my specimen other than the diuretic.”
