[MTK]

Could be for a PED, not necessarily a street drug

Don't they usually differentiate between the two?

I don't think it matters.

True...I guess as Smoot points out
WTF....you should be afraid of taking aspirin at this point.

They clearly stated the suspension is for violating the substance abuse policy, which would denote a recreational drug. They have a PED policy as well, which has it's own guidelines/restrictions/punishments.

STATEMENT BY AN NFL SPOKESPERSON:

Tanard Jackson of the Washington Redskins has been suspended indefinitely without pay for violating the NFL Policy and Program for Substances of Abuse.

I wouldn't so quickly dismiss what Matty is saying though

I believe the substance abuse policy covers a lot more than just recreational drugs.

Didn't mean for it to be dismissive. He probably knows more about it via the SS grapevine.

That's what I'm not understanding. If it's a PED, why isn't it under the PED list? Why put a PED under the list of substance abuse drugs? Idiotic if you ask me. Either way, I'm not sure I would have been taking any supplements if I were TJ. I simply wouldn't wanted to have risked anything.

Good question. The NFL isn't very up front about the whole policy and process.

It could be that once you have multiple, lengthy suspensions, that no matter if it's a recreational drug or PED, it all falls under the substance abuse policy. Isn't this his third suspension for substances? If so, maybe this is a three strikes sort of thing....the third time doesn't matter what classification? Only the NFL knows.

All I know is, Rambo better step up this season.
