This is heart breaking news on top of the original heart breaking news.  I feel for his family and his teammates.  You just never know what someone is going through... you just never know.

Unless you post on AW. Then you know more than anyone else.

Just as Occam's razor pretty much told you this was an OD, Occam's razor can also point to a low level clubhouse attendant going out to score some stuff locally for Skaggs once they got into town. Not a player or a higher up.

Had just gotten into town, right?  I mean, I assume that they are checked prior to boarding even a private flight, no?

You can bring med bottles in your carry on.... pills arent going to flag TSA usually...

Alas i think we all knew this was coming.
How he managed to get them is an obvious question, and was it a recent occurrence or habitual. 
Opioids are more of an issue than almost any other drug, but we hear so little about them as they are legit manufactured and no one seems to have the balls to go against big pharma.   Fentanyl especially isnt something you get on the corner. 

The family statement read on SportsCenter said police suggested the source of the drugs may have been an employee of the Angels.

Yeah you just have to "check" them. But when I went to Arizona they didn't even look at the bottles. I could have had Pill AIDS for all they knew.

I'd assume that. Just thought if the league found it to say be a bigger involvement with the Angels that a word of mouth would force Arte to leave cuz they couldn't control it. 

This is ridiculous

Facking junkie.  Stop the tributes for all these players that get doped up and boozed up.

Why would they say anything to a scrub news guy?

Why would they lie about it being cocaine? 

Maybe on some other occasion it was cocaine and that's what the source knew.

Right. I'm no doctor, but I don't believe fentanyl is a prescribed drug. It's a surgical anesthetic, and only the smallest of doses are used in carefully monitored medical procedures by trained personnel. You don't just get a prescription and pick it up at the drugstore.

That is absolutely correct.  I fly often, with 4 prescription bottles every time.  Never once been looked at.

never heard about having  to check anything.  And I fly internationally as well as domestically with my prescriptions.  As long as they are in the original bottle with the prescription label you are OK.  I bet when they are dumped, non-descriptly into a baggie, daily dispenser, etc, that's probably when flags might go up.  Especially without the orginally labelled bottles or paper prescriptions.

I've known of people that have had fentanyl prescribed as a patch before.  A patch that transfers the medication as a time release through the skin.  I think the nasty stuff that is out on the streets is cooked down versions of the raw, non-prescription stuff.   But I am just guessing.

They said cocaine was found in the room, so I'm sorry, but they made it up.

@Adam even commented oh so eloquently on the matter

[eligrba4ever]

I remain sad for Tyler Skaggs' mother and his family, as well as all his friends who were not aware of drug usage. My sadness for Tyler is redirected to sadness that he used those substances.

If his drug connection was within the team, there will be a heavy boot dropping soon.

Presumably, hotel security cameras have already pointed investigators to the last person to have entered and exited the hotel room before the discovery.

Law enforcement officers in Virginia have seized enough fentanyl to kill 14 million people, busting a massive three-state drug ring as part of what they called "Operation Cookout." Thirty-five suspects were arrested, and four others are on the run.

Reading the article this paragraph made me chuckle:

In total, authorities seized over 30 kilograms of fentanyl, 30 kilograms of heroin, five kilograms of cocaine and over $700,000. It's the largest drug takedown in Virginia in 15 years. They also seized roughly 24 firearms, including an AK-47.
 Like the AK-47 is the most sinister part of this whole thing.  Wow.

And then there's this:

There's been an increased effort to hold China accountable for drugs like fentanyl that are manufactured there and smuggled to the U.S. A bipartisan bill in the Senate would sanction Chinese labs and traffickers that export the drug.

Sanctions?  oooooooo

I could be wrong, but I think its been classed as a WMD recently...

Well, you're right. I just checked my Medicare Drug List and there it is, the fentanyl patch. For me it would be a Tier 4 drug costing $100 a month.

White people am I right?

[ten ocho recon scout]

In my first decade, we ALWAYS had to test dope we made during an arrest. Obviously, you cant charge someone if you cant prove its dope.

In recent years, thats gone. Its now double bagged, and sent to a lab... and were supposed to mask up when we seize something.

A few of my friends have been exposed...

Recently, someone placed a bunch of fliers on the windshields (under the wipers) of police cars in i think texas. The fliers were talking about conspiracies with i think the fire department... something a cop would dig on just to make fun of the fire guys on the next call.

All the fliers were laced....

Jay, cocaine isn't a pain medication. The guy lied.

I imagine cocaine would be great for pain.
