von miller 4 game suspension?

[darken65]

Still no real evidence of substance abuse other than some twitter posts. I really don't see any other reason why for a 4 game suspension . I would like to know for sure before commenting on this.

If its just weed then its not a big deal. If its PEDs then its a big deal.

No one knows for sure except the NFL. Which is why Adderall is the go to choice for PED suspensions.

Which is BS to begin with.

My guess is the reasoning behind this is in case someone actually does test positive accidentally. Does this mean Sherman had tested positive in the past?

I would hope they announce something soon. It seems really stupid to post a suspension without a reason why. I guess just another reason I can't stand Goodell.

The NFL can't post the reason why when it comes to their drug policy. States it in the CBA. Which is why the player/agent says the reason they got suspended is Adderall.

Again...no proof of substance abuse. I know what you are talking about....it has been the way for a while...I still see no proof of why he will be suspended. Provide a link with this info if you have one.

Don't have an exact link on the verbiage in the CBA. Just what is in articles about players getting suspended for violating the substance abuse policy. It always says the player has been suspended and that's it. Take Justin Blackmon's suspension. Everyone thinks it was for weed but nothing official.

I think the NFL policy is stupid. Trying to hide shit.

if the nfl tried to change the policy the union would cry.

You've got to test positive twice to get suspended, so maybe his first positive test was as a rookie and he has now tested positive for something else?

Even on roids?

Yeah, I think so.

That is correct. As part of the NFLPA, players get suspended if they test positive twice for illegal substances. I looked up the list and here it is:

Pretty interesting list - some of which are no brainer especially if you are familiar with them in the medical field/chemical type professions. Just look at the list - a lot of these are hormones and/or steroids.

Von Miller - LB - Broncos

The NFL is targeting mid-August as an appeal date for Von Miller's four-game suspension.

It's rumored Miller was suspended four games for testing positive for marijuana and amphetamines during his rookie season in 2011, and then a recent positive test for MDMA powder known as "Molly." He insists he's done nothing wrong. The NFL will be sure to get this case resolved before the regular season.

MDMA, also known as ecstasy. Von Miller is livin' the life...

Ecstasy and Molly. Dude likes to party like a rock star!

Is that what that stuff is? I was going to Google it. I guess he likes to party. Not so much about football performance. This must throw the odds on Denver winning the SB a bit off. Have to check on that.

Sounds like Miller didn't test positive for anything last year. Now they are saying that since he tested positive for Marijuana in 2011 he was under strict rules for testing and if he missed tests or was regularly tardy to the tests they could suspend him for those things.

Players were saying it was Adderall when it might not have been. Maybe they'll start saying they missed the test or was late, now? Depending on the source of the bold, people could be taking advantage of the confidentiality. Unless the league can say it was the tests, just not which drug. Then, they'd just say it when the suspension is announced.

That probably won't happen, I'm pretty sure the NFL always explains what part of the policy was violated. Someone would look pretty stupid if they were saying that they just missed tests but the NFL said, uhm, no, he tested positive for a banned substance.

I believe the NFL releases the reason for suspension, but not the specific drug.

Thanks, that makes sense. Just being paranoid.
