boater Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 OK. So not suspending a player for ganja is now acceptable. Got it, I'm not crying in my milk. Unpopular opinion alert: the combine should test for stoners. If you're a club, knowing the recreational drug use of your prospects is legit concern. 3

The won't be suspended for positive tests, But they will be suspended for willful violations and non-compliance if they are in stage two of the league's substance abuse program.

Shocking Quote The Commissioner will review and may impose a fine, suspension, or other appropriate discipline if a Player is convicted of or admits to a violation of the law (including within the context of a diversionary program, deferred adjudication, disposition of supervision, or similar arrangement including but not limited to nolo contendere) relating to the use of alcohol.
