    Of course, but it's still a step the NFL went a long time avoiding. So they definitely didn't loosen their stance on PEDs, they actually tightened it.

    I mean, we all know NFL players are jacked on all kinds of stuff and won't get busted unless they go incredibly extreme. But some testing is better than none.

      Live across the street from house a football player rents during season and the neighborhood kids look up to him so no, no sport should loosen up on PED usage.

            las vegas boxing commission has been lax on implementing strict rules against ped use since the start. fraud jr has been caught not only once but 3X and the commission did nothing about it.

            i'm for stricter rules against ped use in all sports.

                Eric Herman lineman for the Giants was suspended 4 games for PED use. After the new policy was passed he was ruled eligible immediately.

                Stedman Bailey reciever for the Rams, suspended 4 games for PED use. After the new policy was passed he was ruled eligible immediately.

                Do I need to continue?

                  This.

                  The loosened stance on recreational drugs like weed. But upped their ped policy to be stricter. Op needs to read the whole article not just the headline

                      I don't know either guy or the circumstances behind their suspensions being lifted. I guess whatever they tested for fell under the 2 game suspension for masking agents.

                      The new drug policy was created for leniency on recreational drugs. It also instituted harsher testing on PEDs that didn't exist before. That's not loosening its stance on PEDs. That's strengthening it.
