Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:54:26 PST http://www.mynorthwest.com?nid=25&sid=286046 By JEFF BAENEN Associated Press Writer MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Minnesota Vikings All-Pro defensive tackle Kevin Williams testified Tuesday that he was under pressure to lose weight and earn a $400,000 bonus when he took a weight-loss supplement two years ago _ a supplement he didnt know contained a substance banned by the NFL. The testimony was the first from a player in the closely watched trial deciding whether the NFLs use of its anti-doping policy broke Minnesota labor law. Williams said he learned about the StarCaps supplement from a teammate and thought that the over-the-counter drug contained natural substances, which his attorney identified as "papaya and garlic." After undergoing surgery on his left knee in 2006, Williams said he began taking StarCaps at the start of training camp in 2007 to "help me shed a couple extra pounds, for health reasons, keep the coach off my back" and to make his weight bonus. Williams, whose playing weight is 310 pounds, said his weight will rise to 315 pounds in the offseason. Tue, 09 Mar 2010 13:45:53 PST http://www.mynorthwest.com?nid=25&sid=295488 EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn.
