| TAMPA, Fla. Jack Morris Jersey . -- The NFL Players Association wants to determine if the Tampa Bay Buccaneers leaked information about quarterback Josh Freeman being in the NFLs substance abuse program. NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said Tuesday, "We are sufficiently concerned about what weve heard to begin an investigation." Freeman said in a statement released by his agent late Monday that he voluntarily entered the substance-abuse program and submitted to random testing more than a year ago after he mistakenly took Ridalin instead of Adderall to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. The Bucs benched the fifth-year pro last week after Freeman played poorly in the teams first three games, all losses. The quarterback believes someone within the Bucs organization leaked information about him being in the leagues drug testing program. Smith was in town Tuesday to meet with Tampa Bay players as part of a league-wide tour to discuss player benefits and other union matters. Meanwhile, coach Greg Schiano said he was "absolutely not" the source for an ESPN report that Freeman is in Stage I of the substance-abuse program. Freemans statement, released through agent Erik Burkhardt, said he has passed all 46 drug tests hes taken for the league since entering the program. The quarterback said he is "prescribed and permitted to take medication" to treat ADHD for the entirety of his NFL career and that he has never tested positive for "any illegal drugs or related substances." While Schiano said league rules dont permit him to comment on the situation, he did respond to questions about whether he was involved in leaking any information. "I really dont want to get into what Joshs thoughts are about how things got out. I know what Ive done, and Im 100 per cent comfortable with my behaviour," the coach said. "Certainly thats not what you want to happen at all. But, alluding to the accusations, I dont appreciate that either when someones accused of something thats not true," Schiano said. "At the end of the day, its not a good thing, and we need to just keep moving forward beyond it." Smith did not discuss specifics, either. "I will say this, we have a collective bargaining agreement that mandates and protects confidentiality and privacy." Smith said. "If we believe that any member of the team management or anyone from the league has deliberately taken steps to thwart that privacy and breach that confidentiality, this union will take every step and file every grievance and pursue any law to rectify that. "I appreciate the manner in which Josh has handled this personally because hes a good young man. But this issue is a bigger issue about whats right with respect to the relationship between player and management," Smith added. "And when those issues come to bear, this is a union that will stand up for its players." Freeman said random testing has been conducted at the Buccaneers training facility "because I spend all of my time there and I have nothing whatsoever to hide or be embarrassed about." The quarterback was declared inactive for last Sundays game against Arizona. He watched from a suite at Raymond James Stadium as rookie Mike Glennon made his pro debut during a 13-10 loss that dropped the Bucs to 0-4. "I think we are sufficiently concerned about what weve heard to begin an investigation. I believe that the league has the same interest that we have in trying to determine what happened," Smith said, adding that hes looking forward to working with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and other league officials on the matter. "Its also important for all of our players and the fans to know our system works if people abide by the rules," Smith said. "If we have a concern that the rules have been intentionally broken, then no one is going to be exempt from the consequences." Jordan Zimmermann Jersey .

Griffiths flicked home the opening goal on 53 minutes but Saints equalised three minutes later when a blunder by Hoops midfielder Stefan Johansen allowed Steven MacLean to nip in for the equaliser.Saints then grabbed what proved to be the winner through Graham Cummins, who stabbed home from close range after goalkeeper Logan Bailly and Efe Ambrose got in each others way as they attempted to deal with a cross. Leigh Griffiths celebrates scoring his 40th goal of the season with his son Griffiths became the first Celtic player to reach the 40-goal mark since Henrik Larsson in 2004 and only the eighth in the clubs history to achieve the feat, with the striker doing so in his final game of the campaign as he is suspended for the clubs season finale at home to Motherwell on Sunday.The home side - who will finish fourth at the end of the campaign - applauded the champions on to the pitch then set about frustrating them.Only a fine save from Saints goalkeeper Zander Clark prevented Griffiths heading in a Christie cross at the back post before Tommy Wrights men created a couple of half-chances at the other end.After Bailly was penalised for slidinng out of the box with the ball in his hands, Liam Craigs free-kick ended up at the other side of the penalty area where Brian Eastons shot was blocked in a packed six-yard box. Detroit Tigers Jerseys. Moments later, as the hosts broke, Chris Kane drilled in a low shot that flew the wrong side of the far post.The breakthrough finally came eight minutes after the restart when Johansen played the ball through to Griffiths and, after making his way into the penalty area and ghosting past two saints defenders, the striker flicked the ball home from eight yards with the outside of his left foot.Celtics lead lasted just three minutes, though, as Johansen was caught in possession as he dallied in possession in the area. Ryan Christie cuts a frustrated figure for the Hoops MacLean dispossessed him as the ball hit a divot before lifting the ball neatly over Celtic goalkeeper Bailly.Another sloppy mistake led to the winner, with substitute Cummins gratefully knocking the ball into the empty net after Bailly and Ambrose collided with each other.Ronnie Deilas side tried to come back but in the two minutes added time, Saints Clark made a double save, first from Callum McGregor and then Christie, to secure all three points.Watch Celtic v Motherwell on Sunday.
