A Creative Arts Agency spokesperson put out the following statement on their client:

"Peppers went to the combine. He was sick after flying there from San Diego. He has a history of cramping. Peppers was being pumped with fluids, drinking 8-10 bottles of water before he went to bed, because he was the first guy to work out two days for the LBs and DBs. He had to go through that first day, come back on second day, and that was the fear. so peppers was pounding water and under the weather. He never failed a drug test in his life, nor tested positive before for any substance."

This news is probably nothing new to NFL teams, who usually learn of these tests well before the public, but it could change opinions on Peppers who is expected to be a late first-round or early second-round selection come this weekend"s draft.
