Comments on: REPORT: KACZUR BUSTED IN APRIL http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/06/04/report-kaczur-busted-in-april/ The Best Pro Football Scoop on the Internet Sat, 22 Nov 2008 10:46:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.2 By: MaineMan http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/06/04/report-kaczur-busted-in-april/#comment-38400 MaineMan Thu, 05 Jun 2008 14:17:23 +0000 http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/06/04/report-kaczur-busted-in-april/#comment-38400 100 OxyContin (oxycodone) pills every several days could easily be for personal use only for someone with severe chronic pain, especially if they were the relatively low-dose (2.5mg v. 10mg) tablet. I have a couple friends with chronic pain from injuries (not surgically treatable) who legitimately cannot function/be productive without 50mg-100mg a day. And when these folks are receiving their required dosage on a regular basis under a proper medical pain management program (gradually titrated up to an effective dosage), they work circles around their co-workers. And they are definitely <em>not</em> getting high. The major problem for them for literally years was finding a medical practitioner who was willing to properly manage their pain. Doctors are always at risk of being busted for "dealing"/over-prescribing by zealous DEA or state cops even though the relatively high dosages may be medically necessary to help the patient remain productive. In the meantime, my friends had to resort to less legal methods in order to obtain medication that they legitimately needed. Yes, they are "dependent" on the drug, but in the same way that blood pressure or heart patients are dependent on their drugs. The difference is the asinine societal stigma associated with becoming dependent on a substance that <em>can</em> get you high. I'm not attempting in any way to justify what Kaczur has done, just to make the point that the amount he was purchasing was likely to have been for him alone if he's experiencing severe chronic pain (hmmm, wonder why that might be?). It's simply ignorant to assume that he was merely getting high and sharing the "party" with teammates. If his pain is that bad, though, he probably shouldn't have been playing and should have been diverted to other legitimate medical treatment options, including a good pain management program, by the Patriots' medical staff. Of course, even approaching the medical staff with the problem might have ended his career (which may now be over in any case). On the other hand, I'm certain that no other NFL (or NBA or NHL or MLB) player has ever found themselves in similar circumstances and made a bad decision. Right. 100 OxyContin (oxycodone) pills every several days could easily be for personal use only for someone with severe chronic pain, especially if they were the relatively low-dose (2.5mg v. 10mg) tablet. I have a couple friends with chronic pain from injuries (not surgically treatable) who legitimately cannot function/be productive without 50mg-100mg a day.

I hope they hang him high. Oxycontin is an HIGHLY addictive opiate. This crap is super dangerous and many people are losing their lives to the addiction.

Kaczur revealing his source is nothing compared to the fact that he is a drug dealer. 100 pills every few days is a tremendous amount and couldn't possibly be used for person use. I would imagen he is in very big trouble because I don't think for one second that he would voluntarily wore a wire unless so.

Informing law enforcement about others committing criminal acts like dealing drugs should be a commendable thing, not some crime worse than actual crime reported. Kazcur doesn't deserve to be commended in this particular case because he became an informant to save his own ass rather than do the right thing, but I don't see it being wrong to give up people committing felonies. He committed a crime by allegedly purchasing illegal drugs, but being an informant is not a crime. Only in a world of twisted values is the person who is an informant of a crime considered a bigger scum than the felon he/she reports. Kevin from Philly,

I guess if you snitch on your former mentor, it is ok. What Kazcur did was wrong and if proven true should be punished by the league appropriately. I ain't going to defend him.

(Also, talk about a speed trap.) -Why did Kaczur flip when he was threatened with a misdeamor? How did the case go from the NY State Police to the DEA? Why did the DEA pick up a case to bust a dealer for 300 pills? Did Kaczur misrepresent his purchases in order to entice the DEA to pick up the case? I have some questions about the arrest and decision to flip.

It's important that newpapers get out newsworthy information, but sometimes they need to balance that need with the safety of the parties on whom they are reporting. Now that Kaczur is out there in the public as a snitch, one really needs to wonder if the Globe was successful in the balancing act or not. They could have written of the arrest and whether it was reported to the requisite NFL and team officials without going into detail if they truly felt the need to publish the story.
