They signed Morris despite a 4-game suspension a few years ago for substance abuse.
And then there was Cloud's 4-game suspension in 2003...
Don't get me wrong - I don't want him kicked off the team. However, I can't try to justify his use because he was injured. He'll pay his penalty - as well he should - and hopefully be back after the fourth game. He made a dumb mistake. There's no getting around that. (assuming this is true).
I feel that we owe it to Rodney to hear his side of this story considering all that he's given us. However, this is bad and I'm not sure what he could say. I recall a WEEI interview in which Rodney said that he checks with the league office about every product that he takes into his body. Hard to believe that he's a cheater and a liar.
I always defend Rodney but I really can't this time. He cheated and comprimised the integrity of the game. He should feel humiliated and I don't think I will ever really think of him as the same guy again.

If he gets suspended for just having BOUGHT it, then that's BS. Its not illegal to procure HGH. However, if he knowingly TOOK IT, then the suspension is deserved.
Personally, the league is being foolish if it doesn't differentiate between the two.
