Report: Neal to Be Suspended for 4 Games

[pbmax]

Is it the Drug and Alcohol Policy that provides for two positives before first suspension or is it the PED program as well?

Taking steroids to try and hasten injury healing?

The NFL has released a statement confirming the suspension. Here it is:

Mike Neal of the Green Bay Packers has been suspended without pay for the team’s first four games of the 2012 regular season for violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances.

Neal will be eligible to return to the Packers’ active roster on the day after the team’s fourth regular-season game of the 2012 season.

Neal is eligible to participate in all offseason and preseason practices and games.

Maybe, but at a glance he looks like a weight room fanatic. Even without an injury, I would not have been surprised by this. I know looks can be deceiving and have no proof, but he looks like a cartoon in his upper body.

Again, I ask, how does this stuff happen? Don't they have a list. Don't trainers have a list of what players can and can't take. Millions of dollars on the line and these simpletons mess it up.

Time for the Packers to take a real hands-on stance on Neal's training. He hasn't been involved in their off-season training program yet, with the lockout last year. They need to stress they're paying him to be a football player, not a weight lifter.

Well - we've certainly have had better days haven't we?

I think the players know exactly what they are doing, and what will happen if they get caught. They do it intentionally, hoping to not get caught. I hope they are doing it behind the trainers backs, but one never knows for sure.

By using PED's, he's showing more motivation than Justin Harrell did.

This. I suspect his injury problems also stem from his weight room fanaticism.

Dumb ass!

Start? He's going into his 3rd year - approaching middle of an average career awful quickly.

How does this happen someone else asked? Guys trying to get an edge, same as it's always been.
