Bro, these guys have a list of and know what's what. They have dietitians, trainers, and staff going over this shit. If you can commit an NFL playbook to memory, you damn sure can remember a "handful" of banned substances that shouldn't be ingested or going into your body.
I'm sure the NFL would not levy fines and suspensions unless this information was widely disseminated.
A handful is actually 5 pages

It was because of a pain medication. If you ever played football in college or above you may understand and give him the benefit of a break.

Yep, unprescribed pain medication. Per John Keim.

Ask Brett Favre.
Pain meds are like any other black market drug. Oxycontin, Percocets, and so on. People will take anything that makes them feel good. Brett Favre was hooked on pain killers for a while in his Green Bay days.
