Published | Updated

A national smoothie chain wants athletes everywhere to know they are completely and 100% PED FREE ... this after an NCAA star publicly wondered whether or not the joint was safe.

It all started when Brad Kaaya -- the Miami Hurricanes QB projected as a top pick in next year's draft -- questioned whether the supplements at Smoothie King were okay by NCAA PED testing standards.

Kaaya was obviously trying to make a point about the testing ... but even still, a rep from Smoothie King (800 stores nationwide) was quick to tell TMZ Sports the athletes have ZERO TO FEAR.

"Our proprietary Gladiator Protein, which is available in smoothies and in retail, is free from banned substances and perfectly safe for all athletes."

Want iron clad proof? The company says their products have already been tested ... by the NBA ... as part of a deal to get naming rights for Smoothie King Center ... where the New Orleans Pelicans play.

"Our partnership with the NBA’s New Orleans Pelicans requires that we meet the NBA’s rigorous standards for being athlete-friendly, and includes annual testing of all our ingredients."

Enjoy ... just not with a hamburger made from Mexican beef.

'Cocaine Cowboy' Widow I Want HALF For Hubby's Coke Stories!

Published | Updated

The widow of original "Cocaine Cowboy" Jon Roberts is getting double-crossed in a deal Jon made to cash in on his life story ... according to the lawsuit she just filed.

Andrea Noemi Roberts says Jon struck the deal with financial adviser Daniel Merandi and his company, M & M Financial -- Jon would get 50 percent from any TV or movie projects related to his 2011 memoir, "American Desperado." Jon died shortly after the book came out, but Andrea says she inherited the deal with Merandi.

Andrea's fighting for every dollar, and with good reason. Jon's book has been linked to a Hollywood project with Mark Wahlberg, Peter Berg and Michael Bay attached ... and it's already been used to make a Telemundo documentary. She's suing to get the half she's due now, plus anything in the future.

Jon was a notorious player in Miami coke smuggling during the '80s -- as told in the award winning doc "Cocaine Cowboys."

CLEAN STREAK

Abby Wambach says she's been "totally sober" since her DUI arrest in April -- telling TMZ Sports she's learned from her mistake and doesn't plan to repeat it.

As we previously reported, the Team USA soccer legend blew a .13 during her April 2nd arrest in Portland -- and later pled guilty to driving under the influence of intoxicants.

She immediately took responsibility for the incident -- and vowed to be a better role model.

Well, we got Abby at LAX -- and she essentially told us the DUI was a teachable moment ... saying, "You live and you learn."

As for the complete sobriety -- the judge will be very happy to hear that ... since he asked her to abstain from booze while she's in her 1 year court-ordered diversion program.

Bottom line -- props to Wambach ... who still seems dedicated to live up to her promise.

HERE'S THE PLAN ...

Luke Rockhold says the UFC needs to do something drastic to end the cheating -- telling TMZ Sports, "I'm just tired of talking about it over and over again and nothing happens."

Rockhold says people have short memories when it comes to cheating in MMA -- and said Anderson Silva is the perfect example.

"Everyone is gonna beat down Jon Jones ... and they're gonna cheer Anderson Silva after coming back from testing positive."

FYI, Silva received a 1 year suspension last year after testing positive for a PED at UFC 183.

So, what's the solution?

"They need to implement the full 2 year ban at least. 4 years would really scare a person because it would take away a career."

That being said, Rockhold says he still wants to fight Silva -- telling us straight up, "I'd love to get a piece of that ass."

Boxer Paulie Malignaggi UFC Getting It Right On Doping BOXING Needs A Clean Up

Published | Updated

The UFC is cracking down on PED usage in a way boxing DESPERATELY needs ... that's according to former boxing World Champ Paulie Malignaggi ... who says it's HIS sport that needs a scrubbing.

We got Paulie -- the former junior welterweight and welterweight champ of the world -- in NY training for his big Showtime PPV fight against Gabriel Bracero on Saturday and asked him about recent drug scandals in combat sports.

A fair share of those have gone down in the UFC ... where high-profile guys, like Brock Lesnar and Jon Jones, have been popped just recently for doping.

Paulie's been a vocal critic of PED use in boxing for a long time ... but given recent history it's still interesting to hear him say that it's HIS sport ... and not the UFC ... that has the real problem.

Montel Williams Detained for Pot In Germany

Published | Updated

Montel Williams just got a lesson in German law -- you can't fly with weed, unless you've got a serious medical condition ... which is how he avoided getting arrested.

Montel's rep tells us he was traveling through the Frankfurt airport with his wife early Friday, and got stopped by customs agents. They discovered marijuana in his carry-on which Montel uses to help treat his MS and detained him for questioning.

We're told Montel informed cops the pot was only medication and called his team back in the U.S. to send over proof of his prescription.

Williams' rep says once Montel presented the proof, the German authorities were cool with everything and let him go. He was held for less than an hour.

Montel's rep, Jon Franks, tells us, "Unfortunately this is the reality faced by medical marijuana patients every day all over the world. Today, Montel reaffirms his commitment to fighting for sensible medical marijuana policies across the world and to fighting the stigma he and so many other seriously ill Americans face every day for simply following the advice of their doctor."

TMZ broke the story ... Keith was nabbed by cops after striking Justin in the face at the American Century Celebrity Pro-Am in Lake Tahoe. He could have gotten off scot-free, but cops say he refused to leave the course ... so, they arrested him for disorderly conduct.

One law enforcement source said Weglin talked himself right into jail. We've reached out to him, but no word back yet.

TAKING THIS TO THE TOP

Denver Broncos safety Shiloh Keo was PISSED at the cops during his DUI arrest back in February -- calling the situation "bull****" and threatening to tell President Obama all about it during his Super Bowl visit at the White House.

As we previously reported, 28-year-old Keo was pulled over in Idaho on Feb. 13th for a busted taillight ... and during the stop, officers believed Shiloh was drunk.

Keo was put in the back of a squad car -- where he waited for more than an hour -- and decided to vent about the situation to the camera inside the vehicle. And boy, did he vent.

Not only does he call BS on the taillight situation -- but says, "Hey Obama, I can't wait to meet you bro."

"Tell you about this bull****. This is why we have riots throughout the country, cause of this bull****."

"You wanna know why s*** is f****d? This is bull****."

Keo also said he would bet his entire NFL salary that the allegations against him -- and the broken taillight -- "ain't the truth."

He later pled guilty to misdemeanor DUI -- and a screenshot from the cop's dash cam shows the light was really out.

So, he should probably get that check ready ...
