Vobora not likely to be paid

In a followup to yesterday's story, STLToday reports that David Vobora probably isn't going to see any of the $5.4 million he was awarded in a court decision Monday. The company Vobora sued, Anti-Steroid Programs, LLC, has gone out of business. The owner, Mitch Ross, claims that he had lost endorsements from more than 50 NFL players and coaches, and that none of his other NFL endorsers had tested positive for steroids.

That's probably all fine with Vobora, since his victory in court restores his reputation from a 2009 league suspension triggered by Ross' company's supplement. Clearing his name was Vobora's main goal all along. As for Ross, he is considering suing the NFL for loss of business. He does, however, still sell Ultimate Sports Spray over the Internet. No explanation for the presence of steroids in Vobora's supplement was offered in today's STLToday article.
