Dwyer Fails a Drug Test, But Not Really

The AJC passed along a foxsports.com story about Jonathan Dwyer's having tested positive for amphetamines at the NFL combine. Embedded in the article is the explanation that this was due to a prescription drug Dwyer uses for a "pre-existing condition", but apparently the original headline--later changed by Doug Robertson--simply said he failed a drug test. Even UGA fans considered this poor journalism, and everyone piled on the author in the comment section.

Really

At this point, reading anything the AJC puts forth is futile and full of fail. They are like the Onion except without the intentional sarcasm and humor. The AJC is full of anti-journalism.

Fact.
