Michael Floyd is blaming his positive alcohol tests on kombucha tea and, somewhat surprisingly, the Vikings seem to be backing up his story. Vikings CEO Kevin Warren has passed along a letter to be used in Floyd’s upcoming court appearance which may help to explain Floyd’s situation. 
“I am writing to request Mr. Floyd not have his court mandated requirements negatively impacted since he did not know the kombucha he ingested contained alcohol,” Warren wrote in the letter.
Floyd says that he unknowingly ingested alcohol when he was drinking the tea with teammate Kyle Rudolph. The Vikings are helping to back up Floyd’s claim in part because they recommend their players drink it as part of a health regimen. The Vikings even have the drink on tap at their practice facility in Winter Park.
There has been speculation that the Vikings could cut ties with Floyd because of his non-guaranteed contract, but all in all it sounds like the Vikings want to stay in business with the talented wide receiver.
“In closing, since Michael has joined our team, he has displayed a strong work ethic, a compliant attitude and professionalism,” Warren wrote.
Dude drank 17 gallons of kombucha in a night….what is so odd about that?
Floyd doesn’t let things like physiological limitations on the amount of fluids a human being can ingest get in his way
But as Chilstrom points out, kombucha is not so much a “cure” as it is a replacement: Some varieties of the fermented black tea actually contain more than 0.5 percent alcohol, the legal line in the sand imposed by the Food and Drug Administration separating the booze from the non-booze.J
Regardless of whether he knew it had alcohol or not…the better option would have been to dump him and sign Decker…much better receiver than Floyd and no possible alcohol issues to deal with.
Very different type of receiver, and at this point I wouldn’t even say Decker is better.
Yeah I’d take Floyd over decker
“I plead insanity! I’m crazy bout kombucha!”
