This was one of the first looks into the seedy world of money and drug use in the NFL. Reese claimed cocaine use among players was rampant and that his team in the 1970s, the New Orleans Saints, was a nightmare of addiction including game day travel by plane or bus rife with coke binges. He named several star players in the NFL as serious drug abusers, among them, Saints running back Chuck Muncie. Reese died in Mobile, Alabama at the age 52 from liver cancer.〔(Donald Reese )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Life In Legacy - Week of September 20, 2003 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Don Reese」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
