The biggest victim of the National Football League’s drug-testing policy so far is Beverly Hills socialite Nikki Haskell, who declared bankruptcy this week and blames it on the fact that she’s being sued by New Orleans Saints offensive guard Jamar Nesbit.
He’s one of six NFL players who tested positive in 2007 for bumetanide — a powerful diuretic used to mask anabolic steroids — after taking Haskell’s Star Caps diet pills. Nesbit was suspended for four games, and then sued Haskell for $750,000 in lost wages and damages.
The five other players — Pat and Kevin Williams of the Minnesota Vikings, and Deuce McAlliser, Charles Grant and Will Smith of the Saints — sued the NFL, and their suspensions are still pending.
