Robert Quinn Suspended 2 games

*you ought not talk in such fashion, yet, I fully understand the slippage of that double edged tounge,bro

why not, what are you? a priest?

Maybe the agent's story is 100% correct, but I'm skeptical, too. Guys busted for PEDs always have excuses -- it was a supplement, GNC is to blame, whatever. No one ever says they just got caught.

We're only getting one side of the story, and I suspect the agent is well aware that the league's policy is not to comment on these cases. So he can say anything he likes knowing the league can't defend itself and its process.

Actually the league can say something.

And given the ham fisted way this league has handled player discipline matters, it’s perfectly reasonable to assume they botched his as well because by the CBA they can basically do whatever they want.

Where did he say that? Provide a link, drama queen.

Dont you have bleacher report? Or twitter? Or anything lol. Its been all over the place. Just because you read newspapers every morning dont expect the rest of us to babysit you

That's why I said, in the next CBA, there should be a provision where the players can voluntarily report prescribed medication. This allows the league officials to understand what is in the medications so that, if traces of the medication are found in the drug test, the league knows what is going on. Thus, appropriate action can be taken.

Besides. Cheating is one thing. However, like everyone else, the players have prescription medications that they must take. If the doctor prescribed. It, then they are ordered by the doctor to take it. Thus, it's really stupid and outdated of the NFL to suspend someone because of medications like fertility medicines and seizure medicines.

In Quinn's case, seizures can be quite serious. This, imo, is a player safety issue. He needs to be able to take the medicines he needs to be able to prevent his seizures. Does the NFL honestly believe he's trying to cheat with seizure medicines? If so, then that is absolutely stupid.

Think about the analogy with alcohol. You get pulled over and have a BAC of 0.2, you go to jail and you richly deserve it.

In the NFL, you get pulled over and have the corresponding amount of alcohol that Quinn had of this drug, which means you have a BAC of 0.0001.

So the NFL puts you in jail.

Sort of, but, I'd say it like this in the alcohol analogy. It's a bit like having used a prescribed mouthwash, then getting put in jail because the alcohol in the mouthwash was 0.02% and that was Eno gn for an arrest

And then one post later ....

If only you did your own homework so you were posting information instead of stupid questions that show your ignorance.

All while avoiding my post about double standards multiple times. Too rich.

Read the statement from his agent. It's interesting.

He takes medication for seizures. His attorneys had the local pharmacy pull records and it turns out that right before they pulled Quinn's prescription, the pharmacy pulled the drug that triggered the failed test. They think when they mixed the medication, it's possible some of the residue got on Quinn's medicine and caused the failed test.

the medicine for. Epilepsy is tricky stuff for sure.

Just curious...if the guy has seizures why is he still playing football????

 

[aria]

Anyone figure out why Tate got 4 games and Quinn only two?

 

[RustyBourneHorse]

Good point. I suppose the medicines help with that. And, as for the seizures, the medicine is what it sounds like he got suspended for, so I'm only going off of what I've read and understood about the situation.

Crazy idea, huh?

Someone is way overplaying their expertise in trailer park meth labs in Rancho Cucamonga.

2 games. Per the mothership. Joy

This has been a problem in the personnel department since Johnson left. We keep taking risk with players that or either unaccountable (suspended i.e. Q. Carter, Lawrence, Quinn, Irving, Gregory, etc.) or unavailable (injured i.e. Lee, B. Carter, Crawford, Smith).

"Clearly many questions existed as to contamination and we were not able to prove them with certainty at the hearing."


Shhhhh.

Well, alright, I see that. I still think it'd be better for the players and league if they would allow players to report medicines to them to remove that as an explanation.

Guy plays 8 NFL seasons without incident, comes to Dallas, immediately suspended.

Go figure.

Only silver lining is that Dorance Armstrong is looking good.

It's the culture

 

[khiladi]

Players are only suspended if they have had a positive test PRIOR per the CBA rules. He wasn’t just suspended for low doses of a masking agent, he was suspended because of testing positive, I believe at least three times.

The excuses is not that Probenecid was in his seizure medicine, the excuse is that his seizure medicines was contaminated by the pharmacy.

It’s probably a BOGUS excuse to, because a pharmacy isn’t going to give legal records of another patients orders. Those patients have the right to privacy, so how exactly did a legal team get them?
