Ed Werder reporting on ESPN that NFL players have agreed on raising testing threshold for pot which would immediately bring 20 players back

Thresold for pot? But he did molly.

Scandrick didn't get busted for marijuana. So why should he come back early?

This is what you do with unions, you reward millionaire adults, for breaking rules.

Because we have been punished enough.

I think the new policy is comprehensive marijuana was the sticking point in the negotiations.

So does that mean Gordon is back in Cleveland, just a concern for FF

 

[conner01]

the deal before the players includes all of the drugs, not just pot. but the last i heard from players is they did'nt even vote on it. so unless that changes and the players agree to the deal then no one if getting anything lifted

The other, less controversial, part of the agreement is moving amphetamines to the abuse rather than PED policy. That would bring Oscan back

No, they fight to protect rights...and that benefits all players.

He would hit a different punishment category and would come back immediately as well.

I'm not counting on him being back anytime before his 4 games. If he is, that's great, will be a good surprise as well as shocking...LOL...
I kind of treat is as him being injured for 4 games.

i cant find this anywhere other than the tweet up top?

Ah. Ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

Ah. Ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

Off-season amphetamine use would be considered substance abuse, but if used in-season, it would still be a PED. Scandrick and Welker tested positive in the Spring so they would fall under the first time substance abuse policy and not be subject to a suspension.

They also want to raise the marijuana limits from something like 17.5 units for a positive to 175 units for a positive(which is the IOC levels). That would clear Gordon and several others.

It is too late in the week for the vote and suspensions to be lifted this week it appears and they will all probably still miss this week.

Add 20 players to the league and subtract 200 by mid-season who will get caught with the new comprehensive HGH testing that is the real reason why the NFL has been pushing for this

Please keep the Fantasy Football discussions out of this forum/thread. There's a forum setup for fantasy discussions so perhaps someone should create a version of this thread there.

Whoops.

Anyways I hope Scandrick does come back early, we can definitely use the help on Defense.

 

[Bungarian]

Does this mean Sandrick will get his money back?

 

[Bungarian]

Whoops.
