Keep in mind that even though Breer had that little nugget that it was an "unknown" substance you can be sure that there is a lot more information available from the test than that. It could very well be a masking agent which is most probably why Edelman got suspended even though the substance can't be 100% identified yet. Or, of course, as @Palm Beach Pats Fan eloquently explained it could be a designer drug Edelman took.
Actually they are fairly common and in most instances confidentiality/NDA's are there to protect information, process and or proprietary information. For instance many chemical processes and formulas are not patented because of the information that has to be given away to secure a patent. I don't know what industry you work in but your concept of how and why things are done by 'poor vulnerable corporations' is laughable. Of course given the NFL's track record it is reasonable to make the supposition things are leaked on purpose but that doesn't change the fact they have a contract with the union that is supposed to ensure confidentiality of the information and yet it is routinely violated without consequence.
From what I’ve read, if it positive for a PED and a masking agent, suspension would have been for 6 games not 4. Just a masking agent, no PED? 2 games.
I work in software, so I don't know if that might make my perspective different.
Well duhhhhhhhhhhh..... now tell us something we don't already know.This is a bit odd.
They are undoubtedly using LC-MS (high performance liquid chromatography paired with mass spectroscopy)
I don't think article 46 applies to the PED policy. Those are covered under separate, clearly defined rules.unfortunately for jules. article 46 means goodell can suspend him for anything, including them finding an unknown substance in his blood.
They could have found nothing and suspended him because of his haircut.

It is possible that he will be exonerated. Don't hold your breath, but it is a possibility.
No, that's not true.Article 46 covers anything the commissioner decides is bad for the league, aka anything he chooses.
For instance If you get a new cell phone, and cant show roger your old cell phone, you can lose 4 games.
Article 46 doesn't cover/override things that have been explicitly written into the CBA. Like PED and substance abuse discipline.

Equipment violations were explicitly written in the CBA
