Explain to me the NFL drug policy

[Brady-Carter]

If you're in stage 3 and get caught again you're banned a year.

 

[Brady-Carter]

I think they stay private until your 4th failure. Then suspensions start coming. This isnt a result of two failed tests

No matter what stage your in, the NFL cannot release what you where nailed for. When you hear a guy got suspended for Adderall it is coming from the agent. When it is substance abuse(Josh Gordan) It is coming from team sources.

I meant punishment from the results of the tests. You don't start getting punished until the 4th failure.

No you get punished on first offence. Usually 4 games for Peds, 2 for weed. Once your nailed the 4th time it is a automatic year suspension. Which the player can appeal..

EDIT: I am wrong on the suspension for drugs in stage 1.

Stage 1:

Discipline: If the Medical Director, after consultation with the Medical Advisor, determines in his discretion that a player in Stage One has failed to cooperate with the evaluation process or fails to comply with his Treatment Plan, both the NFL Management Council and the NFLPA shall be notified and the player will be subject to an immediate fine equal to three-seventeenths (3/17) of the amount in Paragraph 5 of the NFL Player Contract, and he will be placed in Stage Two upon notification by the Medical Director.

Stage 2.

(1) Discipline for First Failure to Comply in Stage Two: A player in Stage Two who fails to comply with his Treatment Plan or fails to cooperate with testing, treatment, evaluation or other requirements imposed on him by this Policy, both as determined by the Medical Director, or has a Positive Test will be subject to:

1. (a) A fine of four-seventeenths (4/17) of the amount in Paragraph 5 of the NFL Player Contract if the player has successfully completed Stage One; and
   
   
2. (b) A suspension for the period of time to cover four consecutive regular season and post-season (including Pro Bowl, if selected) games without pay if he did not successfully complete Stage O

Stage 3

(2) Banishment: A player banished from the NFL pursuant to subsection (1) above will be required to adhere to his Treatment Plan and the provisions of this Intervention Program during his banishment. During a player’s period of banishment, his contract with an NFL club shall be tolled.

So ya, if you get nailed a second time it is a suspension. If you get nailed a 3rd time you get a year..

You just a dumb nikka if you know they'll sit u down for a year if you piss dirty one more time and you still smoking. When I was on probation for 2 years I told my PO she could test me every day if she wanted to. I wasn't about to get locked back up for a fukkin blunt

At some point you have to grow the fukk up and stop doing stupid shyt that risks your livelihood.
