NFL Drug Policy Changes
-
Whether JG's gets rescinded depends upon whether the two parties (NFL & NFLPA) agree to that as a part of changing the standards to a higher threshold. Better hope they convince the NFL the higher threshold should be retroactive for players currently suspended for low levels. Of course then there is the pending DUI hearing for JG in Nov. But that's another story and likely to be just as big an issue for him as his current problem.

I think something that should be included is the discrepancies between A and B samples. Though to be honest they should just adopt the WADA rules.
-
Yes,I highly doubt the NFL will reneg on punishments doled out. The Ray Rice situation was (not) a drug offense. GODdell has washed his hands of things once again. So Ray Rice has no bearing on this,whatsoever.
This is just more of the NFL trying to look like it's doing something.. This commissioner (Goodell) has and is making the entire league a farce.. Pete Rozelle must be laughing in his grave at this asshole.. Now there was a real commissioner!
-
No one who has already been suspended will be reversed, plain and simple. If they did that they would open the door to dozens and dozens of people wanting compensation/reversed decisions, etc. It sucks but at least moving forward it will hopefully be better.

Possibly, but if the level was to be revised, then any players suspended for a test result less than the new level might choose to seek relief anyway. Especially those whose suspensions are on-going...

Here is a policy change. Stop suspending players for smoking weed!

Correct. There were plenty of believable reports coming out from behind the scenes why the ruling on the Gordon suspension took so long. NFLPA wanted the weed thresholds raised- at least to military levels, and the NFL said no dice unless we get HGH testing implemented. Well, surprise, surprise, look what just came out.
And I totally agree- get a DUI- it's at least a 2 game suspension (maybe 4) for the first offense. The players have zero excuses for drunk driving with the NFL's 800# 24\7 limo service.

For those of you that are saying reversing of recent suspensions won't happen...
I'm hearing that it is a very real possibility, and the main reason why Gordon hasn't filed a lawsuit yet.

I can see it now.....JG's ruling gets reversed week 10......yay!, he plays til november.....then week 12 he gets 4 games for Dui.........
-
No he still has a chance and after watching tonights pregame it wasYeah, that's basically what I thought, not much chance of JG getting to play.
announced that if the deal between the nfl and the players union get done before Sunday he may even be able to play as early as Sunday or have his sentenced reduced dramatically. So it's not done yet.
-
THAT would be special. And he is close by .........these huge contract issues usually dont get done overnight, what with all the lawyers and crap, so is it possible that they were working on this and the NFL dragged their feet on the JG ruling thinking this might get done before the season started?...

mfer's are just going to get our hopes up then crush us.

I think that's exactly what happened. May have been for theatrical purposes but it sounded like they were close.THAT would be special.

There be developments, folks. The rumbles of behind the scenes negotiations were dead on.
