1. To be fair, the NFL doesn't release what the suspensions are for

So when I hear the player or their agent say oh it was a supplement that was tainted, I just assume it's another lying sorry excuse for a competitor. American sports leagues have absolute jokes for drug policies. At least cycling or the Olympics will ban somebody for a couple of years.

Instead the NFL lets asshats like this guy get away with claiming a tainted supplement. Yes the suspension for Ray Rice was too short, but so are the suspensions for performance enhancing drugs.

And the guy who was suspended for the season for weed has had multiple warnings both in college and a shorter suspension for drugs last year. At some point, a slap on the wrist doesn't cut it.
