Wouldn't be fair otherwise. All us internet nerds also being physical freaks? Nobody else would ever get any. Gotta love the NFL Friday bad-news dump.

Broncofan Posted June 15, 2018 Share Posted June 15, 2018 Given you need 4 strikes for weed to get to this stage (unless it’s a legal conviction), as dumb as the policy itself is I have zero sympathy for a player who can’t avoid 4 positive or missed tests. He was literally 1 season away from a huge payday. Stay clean and make the test appointments = 8 figure deal next year. Do this = one strike away from career-threatening suspensions (once you get to a 10-game risk teams start shying away). And likely no long term deals until he’s clean for 2-3 years. SMH.

Irving has never been busted for substance abuse. His suspension last year was for PEDs (the typical "banned supplement" excuse..). As for "strikes" for substance abuse, IIRC, it goes: 4 games, 10 games, 1 year, indefinite. SMH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMH You don't get suspended until your 4th "strike" - a positive test, or a missed test. At 1st positive/missed test, you get entered in program. At 2nd, you get a 2-game salary fine, at 3rd you get a 4-game fine. But still no suspension. It's only until you get the 4th strike that you get 4 games (unlike PED's, which is 4 games on the first positive test). Given the above, I have zero sympathy for a player who can't avoid 4 weed-related strikes. There's zero excuse. I think the policy is silly, but the weed policy is set up to give players 3 strikes before this stage. There's simply no valid excuse. The only time a player gets a weed-related suspension before 4 strikes is if they incur a legal conviction - that's grounds to suspend a player even before the 4th strike. In Irving's case, we know that's not the case, so that means he whiffed 4x (positive test, or missed tests - which is even worse IMO - just show up, dude).
