the nfl should tier the punishment so that the level of punishment reflects the varying degrees of what the specific banned substance was.

^ i heard this opinion on the radio and it is not my original thought but i agree with it.

I know that getting the NFL and NFLPA to agree to change the punishment and tier the punishment so that the level of punishment reflects the varying degrees of what the specific banned substance is very difficult to do. But it needs to be done so that the NFL can be taken seriously. Right now it seems like a joke.

and a lot of that has to do with thing like that being used as masking agents such as diuretics

players have to be really careful, would suck getting a failure for an over the counter product
