Steadman Bailey Suspended For Violating Substance Abuse Policy

[VegasRam]

Do we actually know it's weed? If it is, just ain't a big deal with me. And please don't start with the "it's the rule" reply - I'm aware of that. Doesn't make it right.

If it's PEDs, pretty easy to sit here and call him a dumbass - you're not the 175 pounder playing special teams.

Josh Gordon wanna be without the talent. Is it a year next time? Can't count on him so maybe some waiver wire time will get his head out of his a$$.

As far as I'm privately concerned, drugs have destroyed families, companies, teams, churches, etc., and yes, countless personal lives. Including most "recreational" drugs. Let's not go there either.

Then dont say that. Because that is the most ridiculous thing i have ever heard. Its legal in my state, and people treat it like wine. Nobody is having their lives ruined because of it.... because they dont go to prison over a habit, or have their house seized, their dog shot, etc.

Peoples lives get ruined because of the enforcement of drug laws, not because of the plant itself.

How to pass a random: Drink fluids for the hour before your test, if you have a chance to pee without being seen, go. Then claim shy bladder at time of test, and take the extra hour to drink more fluid. Next, give mid-stream. Not beginning, not end. Just mid.
It is nobodies freaking business if you smoked pot on your freaking time off the clock.

Thats what Von Miller did. But they called it a diluted sample and suspended him for 6 games.

Not gonna jump to conclusions bc I don't know what he got caught with, It could be a number of things. If it's rec drugs than he needs to quit that sh!t. If it's PEDS, he needs to get his money back.

WHAT THE PROBLEM MAN?




bailey will have plenty of time now to enjoy his favourite pastime.

.

Once you're caught the first time, don't they test you more often?

Cut him. He is a good special teams player, but damn.

Cut him. He is a good special teams player, but damn.

Why? Its not like they have to pay him while he is suspended.

If we are going to deal with this type of ignorance, we might as well replace him with Josh Gordon or Justin Blackmon because at least they have proven they can make plays consistently.

 

[ramsince62]

Wtf????

Well i'm sure we'll miss his suprior catch rate.

Is it really going to make that much difference with this O?

 

[ramsince62]

I think its PED/steroid related.

Not by the description "substance abuse", usually they use the term PED when it applies.

Come on guys... cut him? He's been solid for us when we have passed to him.

Assuming this is for weed this brings me back to the strange hypocrisy of the NFL and sports leagues in general.
The league will suspend a guy for testing positive for something that will have no effect on his on field performance. Something that does not enhance performance and he would not be under the influence of while playing. At the same time the NFL has no issue with having teams hand out highly addictive and dangerous pain pills like they are tic-tacs. The delusion that one is a medicine (good) and one is a drug (bad) is just silly and thoughtless.
But, it is on Bailey for not being a pro and getting caught.
