See-Saw Continues: Judge Blocks Suspension for Vikes' Tackles -- NFL FanHouse

One thing I can't help but shake in this situation is that the players still tested positive for a banned substance. A positive test is a positive test. It's not like they are being kicked out of football for life. It's a four-game suspension. Among people who discuss things like this with NFL players, it's pretty common knowledge that herds of players don't take anything like StarCaps, for fear they'll end up in the exact situation of the Vikings' two tackles.

Plus, when something is known as a steroids-masking agent, you'd think players nowadays would be paranoid to get caught with it -- for fear people would stigmatize them as a steroids-abuser (oh wait, that's only baseball players who have to worry about the stigma).

I completely disagree with the Authors sentiments here.

1. The reason that the supplement is considered banned is because it contained "bumetanide" otherwise it would be ok.

2. If the banned substance "bumetanide" is not on the label then how in the world are you supposed to know that it is in the supplement? You cannot assume that the players knew if it is not on the label.

3. If the NFL knew why didn't they notify the Teams and Players? You cannot punish people for doing wrong if they had no way of knowing that they were doing wrong.
