JaMarcus Russell has been arrested due to possession of illegal substance which is commonly called codeine. He's been released afterwards as he paid for a bond which cost him $2,500 as noted by sports associated blogs and news sites from the web. Codeine was controlled by narcotics committee of the government due to its effect in human body because it is specially prepared for cough syrup but there are few athletes who already know how this stuff works for their body and that might be the reason why they keep on patronizing it.
Oakland Raiders was the former team of JaMarcus Russell who's been arrested in Alabama on his own home yesterday, Monday, July 5, 2010. He is still on his mid-20's and currently playing on LSU. Last 2007, his career has been on top of the other according to teams draft but this updates in regards of his status might bring him down in just a matter of illegal possession of this drug substance.
