If you had your fantasy football draft before today, which is most of you, the person who drafted Wes Walker is pissed. Denver Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker is suspended for four games because he allegedly took molly at one of the biggest sports events in the world.
Did it really happen? Let’s rewind back to that fateful day, May 3, and take a look at the facts.
Dressed to the nines in a slick tan suit with a mustard-colored fedora (and a pair of aviators to discreetly hide his eyes), Welker’s day at the races was going pretty damn well. He reportedly won more than $57,000 betting on races, although it was later discovered he’d been overpaid by $14,000. Womp, womp. But no matter; Welker was strutting around Churchill Downs like he owned the place, dishing out $100 bills to mere commoners on the track who looked on in awe. At least, that’s how we like to imagine it. We’re also digging this version of events that has him lazily waking up in a horse stable.
For the record, Welker denies knowingly taking any kind of drugs, claiming someone probably slipped something in his mint julep. “I wouldn’t have any idea how to get a Molly or what a Molly is,” Welker told the Denver Post. “That’s a joke. I don’t do marijuana, I don’t do any drugs.” On the bright side, Welker now has the next four weeks—to study up on “what a Molly is.” You know, if he truly is none the wiser.
