Mr. WEO Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Have no fear Roger.... we know you will go off on your own to make assinine judge, jury and executioner decisions.... Drug and PED suspensions are pretty much on an agreed upon schedule, so not really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading that the current test in use had a very short window of catching anyone, if I understand correctly this one has a much bigger window and actually may lead to some suspensions if guys have continued to use.

May Day 10 Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 the league brings it on themselves with this one. Randomly test for Marijuana on game days and make sure guys aren't playing stoned. Other than that, out of sight, out of mind. Don't need the bad press, need players like Dareus, Bell, Gordon, etc playing more. The majority of Americans would applaud the move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It stays in your system for weeks even after you come down from the high. That said no player in his right mind plays high. You simply can't. MJ is for after the game when you need to wind down and reduce inflammation. Did this new agreement say anything about pot, like taking it off the test and suspension list?

Mr. WEO Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 @sn_nfl NFL's ban on synthetic marijuana 'quite pathetic,' if you ask Kyle Turley http://dlvr.it/MPwQRd “I don't know what prompted (Jones) to use that but I'm pretty sure nobody else does (in the NFL)," Turley said. "Furthermore, it's quite sad that the NFL has pushed players to say, 'You know what? I'll try this synthetic marijuana because I've got to get off this other marijuana because I don't want to test positive for that.' So.....Turley doesn't know why players would use it. In fact, he's sure no one is using it. But the NFL is "pushing" players to use it as an alternative to weed. CTE, man....it's real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should adopt IOC/WADA/USADA rules. So you can smoke all the pot you want. Hell, I know athletes who had USADA knock on their door days after smoking. You can test positive out of competition all you want. Take the test with a joint in your hand. No big deal. But you absolutely cannot test positive for weed in competition. So smoke all you want, but gotta test clean at the World Champs or Olympics. I also like the idea of mandatory testing if you win your event/championship, with random testing through the season. So you win the superbowl, great!!! Nobody leaves the facility without being tested on the roster. Positive test and you're disqualified. It is how most sports testing is done.

KollegeStudnet Posted October 7, 2016 Share Posted October 7, 2016 (edited) I have an ongoing bet that when 10 states legalize marijuana for recreational use and those 10 states have NFL teams, than the lift on marijuana will be deemed okay for players use 25 states have some laws on legalization in some form. 4 states are approved for recreational use. (and the District of Columbia) 1) Washington 2) Colorado 3) Oregon 4) Alaska Edited October 7, 2016 by KollegeStudnet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that it appears in a thread titled/about the the NFL and the NFLPA coming to an agreement about drug/PED testing makes its wrongness even more glaring. Keep pushing the agenda though. But I will remind you...there is football on today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 They could have fixed the GH testing years ago, but ignored it. The Olympics have been doing DNA, hair testing forever. You can't get around it, and if your using GH, you'll get caught. Just look at some of these guys. They aren't that size on hard work alone. I'm a skeptic as I was a national level power lifter for 14 years. I know what looks like clean and when to call BS. If really enforced and they nail everyone who's been taking GH in the off season, what happens in suspensions, and the size of some of these guys. Anyway, it's game day so Go Bills!!!!
