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

Even though it is a pointless preseason game, I hope that our defense destroys the Cleveland offense so badly that the Browns franchise disbands in shame. F(*k Kyle.

yeah i just read an ESPn article as well stating the same ..

While MDMA alone would be considered a drug of abuse but would not subject Scandrick to suspension as a first-time positive test, the drug sometimes contains amphetamine components, which fall under the league's PED policy and led to Scandrick's punishment.

----------------------------

if he truly did try some molly and didnt take a PED for the purpose of training, that is tough situation to be in.

double whammy - he is probably a 1st time substance abuse offender as well and has to begin that program
