The "Illegal substance" policy is very different from the "performance-enhancing drugs" policy.

One might argue that Cocaine IS a performance-enhancing drug!

[size=12pt]Itâ€™s a good thing that his cocaine was not laced with a diureticâ€¦.because then the NFL would have to get serious and dole out a 4 game suspension!
What a joke.[/size]

One of, if not the best, posts ever.

[size=12pt]Obviously Jones checked the ingredients listed on the baggie and/or called the NFL hotline to make sure that his "$hit" was pure!

Or perhaps the NFL faxed all the teams a couple years ago when they learned that some bad Coke might be on the streets!

Regardless of who it is these policies really need to be re-assessed.
So a guy that breaks the law and has possession of cocaine only gets suspended for 3 games when people that take a pill not knowingly banned from the NFL to help them lose water weight gets automatic 4 game suspension.

This falls under the same category as Allen using a ball as a prop getting fined 10K and Ogunleye blind-siding a defensless QB 5 seconds after he throws the ball doesn't get a penalty, a fine or nothing.
Goodell is doing a great job at being consistent.

Wait I have another one. Wade Wilson (QB Coach for Dallas last year) was suspended 5 games for taking medication to help his diabetes.
I would like to see how HGH helps enhance his QB coaching skills.
Yet, Bellyfat blatenly breaks the rules that the Commissioner warned the coaches about one week prior and only gets fined.

+1

These idiots (NFL front office) need their heads examined.

Oh the cocaine is illegal in court of law, not just on the football field.

Only if it is PURE cocaine.

I can see it now....the next player busted for possession of StarCaps would be smarter to say they are "Ecstacy" tablets!
