Von Miller was suspended last season for 6 weeks. Was it substance abuse? DUI?
It sure as **** wasn't because he "forgot" to pay all his traffic tickets |

NFL'S SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND PERFORMANCE-ENHANCING DRUGS POLICIES By Jeff Legwold The Denver Post POSTED: 07/23/2013 12:01:00 AM MDT UPDATED: 07/23/2013 12:28:51 AM MDT The NFL has separate policies covering substance abuse and performance-enhancing drugs. The two policies differ in enforcement. A look: In the PED policy, players are tested at the scouting combine before their rookie seasons. Once they are in the league, players can be tested in the offseason, during the season and in the postseason. A positive test results in an immediate four-game suspension. Players can appeal the suspension within five business days of receiving "notice of discipline" from NFL. The first positive test for a "substance of abuse" results in the player formally entering an enhanced testing/treatment program, where the player is tested more frequently. A second positive test results in the player entering the "stages of intervention" outlined in the policy. "Stage 1" is the first stage in the policy and includes the player being referred to a "Regional Team" for his treatment. In Stage 1, the player can be tested as many times as the league's "Medical Director" desires to "adequately evaluate the player." A positive test while in Stage 1 can result in a fine equal to three weeks of a player's pay and results in entrance to Stage 2. A player remains under Stage 1 guidelines for 90 days, but the league's Medical Director can extend that time up to six months. In Stage 2, players are subject to unannounced testing up to 10 times a month. A positive test while in Stage 2 or failure to comply with the treatment program results in a fine equal to four game checks and a four-game suspension. Six-game suspensions are also possible in Stage 2. Players can appeal the fine and suspension within five business days of receiving the "notice of discipline." Players remain in Stage 2 for two full seasons or 24 consecutive months, whichever is shorter. Players move to Stage 3 if they have two positive tests when in Stage 2 or one positive test to go with one instance when the player failed to comply with the program. Players who are placed into Stage 3 remain in Stage 3 for the remainder of their careers. The minimum suspension for a violation in Stage 3 is a calendar year. |
I should have split your post.
I agree with you. The illegal drug policy/program and the PED policy/program are separate (as is the Code of Conduct policy). My comment was about Bowe having any previous pot arrests. I don't believe he has. Just the PED thing. |
Tonight I'll put some cherry kush in the air to celebrate!! Rasta stylee!!

Dewey Bowe needs to wise the **** up and not put himself into this position again, oh yeah and catch a few more balls.

Bowe and dropped are like chocolate and peanut butter. They just go together nicely.
