Texans Will Fuller suspended for 6 games (PED) (Edit: Roby too)

[sb1]

Would have been nice if this news broke before we played them.



“I didn’t know”...“Mistake”...lol. I think there should be a bingo card for PED cheaters excuses.

 

[farn]

Own up to it. I suspect there is not one player in the League not using something.

 

[sb1]

Also I guess by the new CBA it is indeed now a 6 game suspension for a first offense using steroids. Masking takes it to 8. Detection of a masking agent like diuretics is 2 games. Stimulants are also 2 games for a first offense.

Sucks for him but i wouldn’t mind him next season at the right price. He was on his way to a 1000 yard season.

 

[Kontradiction]

Yeah. My doctor prescribes me cocaine all the time, too.

These pukes are the same type of people that banned ephedrine, dmaa and every good workout supplement... These idiots want to ban workout supps but legalize pot and hang out needles to heroin addicts

I smell a one year deal at a reduced rate next year and I know just the guy to take advantage of his predicament.

 

[Betterthanmost]

I was surprised he was still playing hard middle of the season without his usual soft tissue injury. Maybe that is what he needed a little bit of boost.

He was having a heck of a year though. I think he’s one of those guys that can fit well in our system.

Josh Gordons Doctor lives in Houston?

No way!

Some form of regulation on supplements would be nice considering none of them are subject to FDA standards. That's probably responsible for a non negligible amount of positive tests in sports because there's very little legal obligation for the companies that make supplements to tell the truth about what's in them.

Harry will be great next year

How and by what means? Alchemy?

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Jules got popped for this.

Tell us how you feel about that.

Edelman in the end took responsibility and didn't say "it was a mistake" or anything like that, as far as I recall. Just funny to hear the same lines from guys outed as PED cheats.

But I feel the same about that as I did when Rodney Harrison got busted.

IIRC it is four games for the PED, another two for a masking agent on the first offense.

Second offense gets eight games, third offense is 16 games.

As of this year it's now 6 games. Masking + a positive takes it to 8.
