Report: Neal to Be Suspended for 4 Games

Apparently GB needs to create a position on their DL staff for DARE officer.

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.

You are barking up the wrong tree. Many are taking things not even contemplated by the list or doing known agents in a manner that will avoid detection. It all depends on how well they know what they are doing, or, having someone to work with who knows it. That plus timing, or a little luck.

And if they spend real money, they can take things that won't show up on the tests. Barry Bonds and the Olympic folks were busted not by the standard PED screen, but by a new test developed after the fact after someone handed over a sample of the synthetic that Balco developed. The USADA then retested stored samples and got positives. It took years for that to happen.

But in Neal's case, we only know about one instance. So its very difficult to draw any definitive conclusions.

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.

I didn't men this instance in isolation, I meant combined with his first two nonexistent years in the league.

[Smidgeon]

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

Well, at least Harrell played for a full year... (or most of one; don't remember if he got injured at the end or beginning of his rookie year).

What a great start to free agency for the Packers! I hate this guy.

Ya, I know what you meant, I was just pointing out that he's not a spring chicken anymore - third year in the league, he should be hitting his stride, but we're hoping he warrants a roster spot.

I don't think Harrell had a motivation problem.

One instance or not, he failed the PED test, he's suspended...it should not have happened. That's my take.

[esoxx]

Bust

[woodbuck27]

His ass is grass.

[red]

so the dudes on performance enhancers and he still sucks?

thats just great

[RashanGary]

I'm perfectly OK with it. If it helps him get back strong, it's worth those first 4 games.

Any way you do it...that's the way I like it.

What was the name of that song and what group made it a hit?

[gbgary]

idiot!

[Packers4Glory]

so he'll miss the first 4 games, and then get hurt and miss the next 9. got it.
