    Lions' Rogers suspended four games

    Lions' Rogers gets league-issued 4-game suspension
    http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2630061
    Defensive tackle Shaun Rogers of the Detroit Lions has been suspended for a violation of the NFL's steroid policy, ESPN.com's Len Pasquarelli reports.

    The two-time Pro Bowl performer tested positive, sources said, for a product that Rogers used to help him control his weight. Those sources declined to specifically identify the substance, or to say when the positive test took place, but it is believed to have occurred either in the offseason or the preseason. The substance that precipitated the positive test is not considered an anabolic steroid. But the violation still falls under the purview of the NFL's steroid and related substances policy, and not the substance abuse policy. Under the latter, a player must test positive multiple times to mandate a suspension. A violation under the steroid and related substances policy earns a player an immediate four-game suspension, even for a first offense.

    He gets suspended for 'NFL's steroid and related substances policy' AFTER his team plays Buffalo for a violation which occurred during preseason. Jets, who play Lions next, get off easy!

      We should be given the win by default since their players cheat!

      j/k... I am sure every team, to include Buffalo has offenders. But remember, you don't go to jail for robbing a bank, you go to jail for getting caught, or if you are Barry Bonds' friend, for keeping your mouth shut.

        Have you really thought about the logic of your statement? On one hand you state the NFL should rule retroactively on game results based on substance abuse. Then you say everything is OK until you're caught.
        I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

        I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

          You must have missed the "j/k" part. Otherwise you might get it. (j/k means just kidding.)

            That's fine, but what we really need to find out is who put the lead in McGee's cleats?!!

                It took me a couple years to figure out "LOL." I can only absorb this computer lingo a little bit at a time.
