Jim Harbaugh signs adderall user

San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh made headlines recently for commenting on five Seattle Seahawks suspensions linked to performance-enhancing drugs. He specifically questioned whether players linked to Adderall were using that psycholstimulant as cover for taking substances more directly related to performance.

Five weeks later, the 49ers have acquired a cornerback suspended last season and linked to Adderall use. Eric Wright, 27, comes to the 49ers from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in exchange for a conditional 2014 late-round draft choice, according to ESPN's Josina Anderson. He also has ties to 49ers assistant coaches Eric Mangini and Brad Seely, who were with Wright when all three worked for the Cleveland Browns.

Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department that Wright was arrested July 12 on a misdemeanor DUI charge. Wright was released on $5,000 bail later that night. His next court date was scheduled for Aug. 7.
Wright's career has been heading in the wrong direction since the moment he landed in Tampa. Signed to a ridiculously expensive five-year, $37.5 million contract in 2012, Wright was arrested on suspicion of felony DUI in Los Angeles last offseason (the case later was dropped) and separately suspended four games for using performance-enhancing drugs.

Was short lived, failed his physical today, they sent him back to Tampa who in turn voided his contract. Tough day for him.

You think just maybe they failed him on his physical because of the negative press he was getting after the comments he made? That's the first thought that came to my mind.
