Jay;1214007 said:Yeah, the suspension doesn't seem justified. He switched his medication because he was used to playing in Philly, but during camp this summer, he was trying to deal with the humid air in Mississippi I think they said? I think that's where the Saints have camp.. either way, still humid in New Orleans. Different climate and humidity is tough on people with asthma.
Doesn't seem right for him to be suspended for 4 weeks, but.. I'll take it.

But there's also a small contingent of people I've heard talking about it, where the asthma medication was used as a sort of "mask" to cover the anabolic steroids. Like when he got a positive test back, the asthma medication was the excuse.

If his medicine indeed contains chemicals banned by the NFL, why not just make an appeal to the NFL before the fact instead of after the fact?
Surely, he could have gotten a medical opinion or even testimony from a doctor that he could use this type of medicine. Why wait until after the fact, assuming, of course, he didn't present his case to the NFL prior to his drug test?
