Free-agent quarterback JaMarcus Russell told ESPN's Colleen Dominguez he tested positive for codeine after the Raiders drafted him with the No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft. Russell said he had a prescription at the time, but it was not from the team doctor, so he failed the drug test. He says the allegations of drug use stem from that positive test. Russell also said he has used codeine without a prescription but that it has been three years and that he does not have a drug problem. Russell was arrested in July for alleged possession of codeine.
