Johnny Nix Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Starting to get old at this point. Hopefully he can get it reduced with his appeal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Takes prescribed meds due to cheap shot taken at him against Steelers. Suspended four games to start the season. No wonder he plays so angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theJ Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 It will be interesting to see if he's vindicated at all with the appeal. I kind of doubt it. There's really no way to prove that a positive is due to any specific medication. It's all just correlation based on dates. And the NFL hasn't messed around in the past. You fail the test, you get suspended. No ifs ands or buts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Bristow Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 You're likely correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HangOnSloopy Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Of course this was inevitable. We made a trade, we signed Eifert, we signed a LB. Things were too cozy in Bengaldom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheVillain112 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Meh. Interested in hearing more about what actually happened: Did the team doctor prescribe it? Was the medication checked out by the league beforehand? Is this something he's taken before that he assumed was fine but was recently added to the banned list? Did the medication contain something unlisted that's on the banned list? That said, this team will be better once Burfict and Marvin Lewis are gone. Glad we got rid of Pacman, but I'm thinking he'll be back. We just need to move on from those guys culture/leadership wise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason_Bengal_Fl Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Do players have access to the banned substance list? If your doctor prescribes it either check with the league FIRST, or ask for something else. Is it really that hard???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky151 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 It can be hard if a player uses some supplement or other. They usually have a list of ingredients but those aren't always comprehensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Futbudds Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 If it turns out that they busted him for taking something prescribed for a concussion there better be a media firestorm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if he was already placed on IR. No playing benefit whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
