All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Bills' OT Seantrel Henderson's pending substance-abuse suspension is related to a treatment he received for his Crohn's disease.
If he needed medicine for his medical condition under a doctor's care then how is this a problem ? The guy is sick man and needed help, who stops someone from getting well and then going to work ??
I'm guessing, but am not sure, that in cases like this the athlete needs to submit his treatment to the league and get a waiver. If he didn't do that ahead of time, that could be the problem
And if it's not directly related to the Crohn's and he did not have a prescription that would be an issue too
Hard to think he doesnt have circumstances that should be considered.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
This will be a very interesting appeal decision. I am assuming he had doctors prescription as well as medical research showing that this is an approved treatment.
Could any player then claim to have Crohn's so they can smoke pot ??
If they want to get their intestines removed sure.

Technically that doesn't matter. The rules state that if a medical treatment involves a banned substance it has to be submitted and approved by the league for an exception.
I'm not sure he has much ground to stand on, unless it was submitted and we don't know that.
COMING SOON...

As soon as you file papers to get to smoke pot, you get a drug test slip.
