Orlando Scandrick of Dallas Cowboys suspended four games for performance-enhancing drugs - ESPN Dallas

the report is that his ex-girlfriend put some molly in his drink. molly is the powder form of extacy but it is subject to be cut with a filler each time it passes from a big drug dealer to a littler one. just like coke, the user is at the whim of whatever the drug dealer feels like cutting it with - exlax, ibuprofren etc.

his agent makes a good point but i dont understand one thing about it.

I believe the penalty for a 1st time substance abuse offender is eval/treatment as well as add'l testing but no suspension.

He says if HGH testing was in place, his client would be subject to the substance abuse program and not the PED discipline which requires a 4 game suspension.

two things:

1 - why would HGH testing cover and/or alter the discipline for molly?
2 - why isnt molly finding covered under the substance abuse? im guessing he tested positive for a banned PED substance but he is trying to say it must have been something thrown into the molly? not buying it from what little i know.

shouldnt he also be subject to the substance abuse program as well? im guessing he is as well but that is non-discliosure
