NFL has loosened up its stance on PEDs should boxing do the same?

[George Orwell]

the nature of certain positions in football really encourage PED use. at the end of the day it is an extremely violent sport and pinching a few guys for cheating isnt going to make it safer.

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

Damn you too hectari..

Eric Herman and Stedmon Bailey were both suspended 4 games for PED use.

After the new policy was passed they both were ruled eligible immediately.

Yes HGH testing is now part of the new drug policy but what it appears they've done is reduce the penalties for such offenses.

Lolll they're testing for HGH... if that happens in boxing Wladimir and Joshua will look like Richard Abril within the next year! And that goes for any other ridiculously muscled heavyweight

[Slick Veteran]

Bob Arum will love for this to happen as well as Freddie Roach.. that means Manny will be back.

Herman, Bailey, Welker and Scandrick were all suspended for PED use. That was the problem with the policy. The nfl is now more lenient on players who take recreational drugs like marijuana and amphetamines if they test positive during the offseason. That's why all of those players were reinstated. There were many other players suspended that were not reinstated.

Before marijuana was considered a ped and resulted in an automatic four game ban. Now it is handled differently. The players are enrolled into a substance abuse program if they test positive.

It's very important to understand if a player gets popped for amphetamines during the season, he will get a four game ban just like in the past.
