Garoppolo suspended 2 games for PEDs.

With all the people contracting RSV and pneumonia around the country right now, it could even be steroids. I'm hearing about this a lot from family and friends.

The common explanation in situations like this is Adderall. It’s considered a PED (during the season) in the absence of a prescription and therapeutic use exemption, but it can also be used as a party drug.

One of the replies jogged my memory , I guess there is potential for taking some kind of prescribed medicine that has some kind of banned substance in it. I think there are lots of instances of this happening in multiple sports not just NFL.......I remembered that an answer was the athlete is responsible and should know what he is consuming ?

The policy is strict liability so... yep on both.

Wasn't he hurt? Sounds like he was on the Jules/Rodney plan for quick healing.

All those escorts in Vegas I bet he was taking something to fight off whatever he got.

As someone who is on Tes (prescribed) I would be shocked that a z pack would be enough to put him over the Tes limits unless he or anyone in that situation was already naturally at or near peak levels. And at his age that is near certainty not the case.

In the NFL PED policy a 2 game suspension falls under the category of a positive test for a diuretic/masking agent.

If that's what he tested positive for it's hard to see how that was accidental. My first thought was HGH but that's 4 games...

He was only on the injury report for two games, one with a concussion and one with the back injury.

Adderall is a stimulant under the policy... that's a 4 gamer.

Freaking Peyton's wife giving her HGH to everyone around the league. Lol

It’s in the two game category with diuretics and masking agents, as of 2022.

Adderall was listed as a stimulant here but yeah maybe it changed since then.

Do not understand the ban in the off season. If it was HGH then let it go. Maybe mix in some calcium for his bones. Maybe he could get the wolverine treatment.

Jimmy should have done an oil change.

If you watched BMS you know what I'm talking about.

Sources: Raiders' Jimmy Garoppolo gets 2-game ban for violation

Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is being suspended two games for violating the NFL's performance enhancing substances policy, league sources told ESPN.

Curious timing. Lets the Raiders void his 11.25M fully guaranteed roster bonus for 2024.... I blame Belichick for the Raiders paying him to spiking his drink with something.

Was gonna say the same thing... Strangely very convenient for the Raiders...

 

[Jim Beankie]

Didn't he go on a date with some professional minimalist actress? Maybe he wanted to Extenze some offerings to others? Oh dhea what a tragedy.

 

[PatsFan2]

Great because I want nothing to do with that porn junkie. I feel sorry for the Team that takes that Four game chance no thanks.

Sign Jimmy, 2 year deal, .50 cents on the dollar. Trade Mac. Draft one of the QBs at 3. Zappe stays at short money as 3rd QB. QB room all fixed.

I dunno... the whole point of getting veteran AND drafting a QB at 3 is that the vet can man the ship until the rookie is ready (so you don't force the kid to start week 1 if he needs more seasoning). It seems counterintuitive to sign a guy who can't play week 1.
