so you get 4 games for a banned substance. but 3 games for not following procedure and getting prior approval for a drug you have since approved. does not compute, goodell can go !@#$ himself.
lol that article is bs and full of misinformation.. he was always going to serve 3 games, his 4 game suspension started in baltimore and the league counted that game... no his suspension wa snot reduced.. change the title..
Seems rather ridiculous that he is being suspended for taking a drug that was prescribed to him by a doctor for a common medical condition. I could see having to get approval to take a steroid shot or something, but ritalin??
You might wanna change that sig..... And yeah, I think he only has to miss the first two games of this season.
It is ridiculous (I guess because it's classified as a stimulant?) but he should have known better also to make sure it's an approved drug before taking anything, even for a cold, was this a team Dr. ?!?
Is it too late to trade next years #1 to Jacksonville for the punting stud they took in the 3rd round..or would we have to throw in Cushing, Barwin or Schaub
I'm just curious how he obtained the ritalin without a prescription at the time. It's a pretty highly controlled substance.
