The Cowboys always used to catch more breaks, and I can give you the day that ended. The day Jerry went outside the league policy and signed up his own sponsors. The lawsuits that followed cemented the disdain the league has for him, and we've been getting screwed ever since. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, follow the money.

Jerry doesn't really care because his investment has made him ridiculously wealthy and powerful. He would certainly love to win some more Super Bowls, but to keep increasing the number of Bs in that Forbe's franchise value list will be always be his first priority.
Been saying that for years.......jed stepped on a lot of toes. Flipped the NFL the bird.

Not saying that's good or bad, in this instance, however, grace isn't in jed's genes.

OTC supplements aren't regulated by the FDA, so yes, it's very easy for these companies to sneak in ingredients that aren't labeled on their products. It's my understanding that in lab tests, supplements tested have shown traces of steroids, Viagra, etc....so I don't think building a defense would be very difficult. What I do believe will be difficult (if not nearly impossible) is getting the NFL to admit they were wrong. To say the NFL league office is inflexible would be the understatement of the year.
If he took a supplement that's not NFL approved its very likely the suspension will be upheld. About your only defense would be a tainted supplement that is approved. Then you have a good case. Best advise is only take those the NFL approved

But if said supplement or ingredient was present but not labeled in the OTC supplement that he took, then you'd have to believe that he has a legitimate case to make in his favor.

Possibly, but your best protection is not taking non approved supplements. I don't know what he took so it may or may not be approved. I know lots of OTC supplement have stuff not listed so it pays to stick to what is approved
That said if he can prove it was mislabeled or tainted he would have a good argument
But a much harder argument than if he just stayed with approved stuff

Do they even have such a list? I know they definitely have a list of banned substances and companies, but I find it difficult that they'd have a list of approved supplements considering there are 10s of thousands of dietary supplements on the market. The FDA can't keep up with all of them, I have a hard time believing the NFL could. And someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but the NFL's stance is to suspend a player if they knowingly took a substance from their banned list, this I get. But what's the policy if a player took a supplement that according to the label was "safe", but lab results later revealed that it had substances from the banned list? How can a player be held accountable when he was clearly deceived?

because it is arcane and PEDs are the devil. Steroids and drugs like it need to be out of the game but there are other drugs on the PEDs list that have little to no negligible effect. I would even venture bet much of what is on the list is from the World Anti-Doping Agency or Foundation or whatever it is called, Basically a group that adds something to the list so they can continue to justify their existence.

Cutting straight to the chase here...when was the last time that a Cowboy player won a significant appeal?

Scandrick had his suspension reduced from four to two games in 2014. Although his suspension was based on recreational drugs, not PEDs.

True, but still suspended...I do recall as to validity.
