Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez had cocaine in his system and was legally drunk when he was killed in a boating accident last month, according to autopsy and toxicology reports obtained by ESPN on Saturday.A toxicology report from the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner Department?showed that cocaine and multiple other substances were detected in Fernandezs blood. Fernandez, 24, had a blood alcohol content of .147, nearly twice the legal limit, when his boat crashed into a Miami Beach jetty Sept. 25.Two of Fernandezs friends, Emilio Jesus Macias, 27, and Eduardo Rivero, 25, were also killed in the crash. Their toxicology reports show that neither was past the blood alcohol legal limit, though cocaine was found in Riveros blood.Dr. Kenneth Hutchins, associate medical examiner, wrote in the report?that each man had suffered blunt-force injuries to his head and body.It is unknown who was driving the boat at the time of the crash.Ralph Fernandez, the familys attorney and of no relation to the pitcher, told The Miami Herald that investigators have strong evidence that Fernandez was not piloting the boat. He called the cocaine use out of character for the pitcher.That leads me to think, could this be an isolated incident? Yes. Could this have been involuntary? Yes. Why do you think theres still a criminal investigation pending? the attorney said.Authorities have interviewed a highly reliable witness who said he was on the phone with Fernandez just before the crash and heard the pitcher giving another person directions about where to steer the boat, he said.If you tell me that hed been drinking, Id say, So? Ralph Fernandez said. He wasnt driving, and he was very careful about that.Players with Major League Baseball contracts have been tested for performance-enhancing substances since 2004, and violations are announced publicly, but there is no random testing for drugs such as cocaine, and players generally arent suspended for abusing those drugs unless they fail to comply with a treatment program or are convicted for drug use, possession, sale or distribution.USA Today, citing a high-ranking MLB official, reported Saturday night that?Fernandez never tested positive for cocaine under the leagues drug-testing program, nor was he in any type of drug rehab.?His death was a tragedy, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred said before Game 4 of the World Series on Saturday, according to USA Today. These facts were unfortunate. But it doesnt alter the fact he was a great, great player, a good young man, and he will be sorely missed in Miami.The Marlins and Fernandezs agent, Scott Boras, declined to comment on the?autopsy and toxicology reports.Chris Royer, a Fort Lauderdale lawyer representing family members of Macias and Rivero, told the Sun Sentinel that his clients had been told about the findings and would make a statement after taking some time to discuss the reports.The bodies had a strong odor of alcohol on them when they were recovered by divers, and investigators found evidence that the boat was speeding when it slammed into the jetty, according to a search warrant affidavit released this week by the Miami-Dade County State Attorneys Office. The affidavit said officials had recovered a receipt for alcohol from American Social Bar & Kitchen, where the trio had been before the crash.Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos Gimenez directed the medical examiners office to release the autopsy reports Saturday, a day after The Miami Herald sued the medical examiners office seeking their release.The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, the state agency investigating the crash, previously refused to release the reports. Gimenez said state officials also refused to join the county as co-defendants in The Heralds public records lawsuit.The autopsy reports will provide invaluable information to FWC investigators as they conduct a thorough and complete investigation, wildlife commission spokeswoman Susan Smith said in an email.U.S. Coast Guard officials have said they will examine lighting at the South Beach jetty where the boat crashed. Fernandez, the National League Rookie of the Year in 2013 and a two-time All-Star, owned the 32-foot SeaVee named Kaught Looking.The Associated Press contributed to this report. Cheap Air Max .

PETERSBURG, Fla. Sale Air Max Outlet . Wall made the comment in a speech to a Regina business crowd that included Lesnar. The U.S. wrestler and retired mixed martial artist says he was visiting his brothers farm in Saskatchewan and decided he wanted to hear what the premier had to say. The element of surprise has largely disappeared in the world of wrestling. Thanks to social media, the rumors begin to fly the moment somebody out of place is spotted at the airport.Thats what makes a shocking return or result so special in the modern era. Whether its something big, like Triple H returning and helping Kevin Owens to win the WWE Universal championship, or something smaller like bringing back an infamous faction like the Spirit Squad to hammer home a point in a feud, the ability to flip the script and keep things feeling fresh is both one of the biggest challenges facing the WWE and one of their greatest weapons.Its also one of the biggest factors driving the interest on SmackDown Live heading into this weekends No Mercy pay-per-view. Sure, logic would seemingly dictate that AJ Styles gets a big win, possibly by nefarious means, and walks away still carrying the top prize. It also makes too much sense for Dolph Ziggler to finally get that big win over The Miz to jump-start his career, and for The Usos to drop a reality check on Heath Slater & Rhyno and take the SmackDown tag team championships.But thats the thing. During the past few weeks of SmackDown Live, enough doubt has settled in that nothing seems for certain. John Cenas seemed incredibly strong, Zigglers tweeting out his booking agents information and reminiscing about the good and bad times on Talking Smack, and Slater, of all people, has reached a point of popularity where hes able to do a run-in to save another babyface team and gets cheered wildly for doing so.SmackDown Live has been undeniably compelling during the past few weeks, in presenting fresh stories and taking chances without taking things to a crazy for crazys sake level.Theyve done a fantastic job building to this pay-per-view card, and one big question remains -- can it live up to the hype?Lets take a look at everything Sundays show has to offer.The Miz (c) vs. Dolph Ziggler: Is this really the end for Dolph Ziggler?In The Mizs dream come true, the Intercontinental championship has become an important focal point of SmackDown Live. Hes to thank for a lot of that, but Ziggler has stepped his game up to an entirely different level on the microphone since his most recent title loss.Despite the Miz getting the better of Ziggler at every turn, defeating him in both of their championship matches, Ziggler is yet to lose straight up. The biggest potential for a surprise seems destined to come in this match, because there are so many potentially believable outcomes. Ziggler could finally overcome his Miz demons and get a win in a big spot by doing it the right way, or he could cut corners, just like the Miz has done recently, in order to save his career.On the other hand, The Miz could cheat one last time to get the best of Ziggler and send him on his way, or he could provide the ultimate embarrassment and end Zigglers WWE career by beating him clean in the middle of the ring, 1-2-3. As long a shot as that last scenario might seem, remember that Ziggler owns a dismal 1-7 in pay-per-view event in 2016 -- the most such losses of any superstar in the company.All that we know for sure, if the previous two matches between Miz and Ziggler and their in-ring confrontations are any indication, is that Sundays ultimate showdown will provide a fitting platform for either the end of Zigglers run in the WWE, or the start of his climb back toward the top.AJ Styles (c) vs. John Cena vs. Dean Ambrose: AJ Styles brings things to another level, and John Cena and Dean Ambrose are right there with himIn wrestling, in any company and at any level, a world title match where all participants look strong and where fans arent quite sure whos going to win is the ultimate success. Thats whats prresented in front of us at No Mercy.ddddddddddddChampion AJ Styles has pulled off some of the biggest wins of his 18-year wrestling career and has taken hold of the title with the longest lineage and most prestige in the world of wrestling.Cena, back in the title picture after a stint away, looks as poised as ever to crack his two-plus year drought. Hes currently inside the longest window of his career in which he hasnt had a world title since before he won his first world championship in April 2005.Dean Ambrose, whose stock slipped after a subpar SummerSlam match and a tough stretch in the past few months, has also brought his game back up to a similar point to where he was at the night he won the WWE world championship at Money in the Bank.Styles has already defeated both Ambrose and Cena, and Ambrose got a win of his own over Cena on SmackDown a few weeks ago. While youd anticipate a bigger stage for Cena to tie Ric Flairs record of world title reigns, and giving the title right back to Ambrose seems unlikely, nothing seems entirely off the table. We can only hope that the in-ring result is as fiery and enjoyable as the barbs these three traded Tuesday.Heath Slater and Rhyno (c) vs. The Usos: Is it time for The Usos to carry the ball in the SmackDown tag team division?Every sign points to the Usos dispatching the scrappy pairing of Heath Slater & Rhyno at No Mercy, but in a world where Slater can be a tag team champion and one of the most over characters on a show, anything is possible.The tag team division was featured prominently on the go-home episode of this pay-per-view, with Jason Jordan picking up a singles victory over Jey Uso and The Hype Bros getting a win over The Vaudevillains. As good as this run has been for Slater, I think there are more (and better) stories to be told about him either chasing the tag team titles or dealing with the come-down after being a champion.Becky Lynch (c) vs. Alexa Bliss, Carmella vs. Nikki Bella: There are two womens matches, and SmackDown Live has earned itThe Becky Lynch vs. Alexa Bliss showdown for the SmackDown womens championship would be one of the biggest highlights of most brand-specific pay-per-views, but with so much good going on throughout the show, this feud has gone somewhat overlooked.If youre looking for a breakout opportunity and a match that could be a dark horse candidate for one of the most entertaining conflicts Sunday evening, this might be the place to go. Bliss has taken a giant leap forward in working with Lynch and the other women in the division, and as womens champion Lynch is doing exactly what shes supposed to as the anchor of the division.The fact that the show can sustain a second compelling rivalry, the one between Carmella and Nikki Bella, is another big step for womens wrestling in the WWE -- and theyve certainly done more than enough to warrant that match getting a spot of its own on this card.Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton: The biggest question mark of allIve written at length as to why this rivalry has been at times very promising and, at times, incredibly frustrating. Both of these guys need a win to move forward and move on with their careers, but who needs it more?The likely argument here is Wyatt, but that would likely come with another match or two with Orton. This last weeks callback to the promising early days of Wyatts character, itll take a pretty good showing on Sunday to get fans behind things carrying on.The long-awaited debut of Curt HawkinsFact: Theres a good chance he wont even be in a match. Hes the male version of Eva Marie, and the longer he stays out of the ring, the better. ' ' '
