The banned substance for which the NFL suspended Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker for four games was Adderall, not Molly, according to a report Sunday.

A source tells CBS Sports that Welker’s positive test was triggered by Adderall use at the Kentucky Derby. Pro Football Talk had originally cited a source that Welker took MDMA, or Molly, cut with amphetamines. Welker denied that report in an e-mail to the Denver Post, claiming that not only did he not take Molly, he didn’t even know what it was.
