Onyemata suspended for banned substance (2 Viewers)

[Merl]

Jeez, one of the last issues the Saints needed...
Also his 2nd violation, no idea what that means with the CBA (and it's various amendments) but this could be as many as 8 games--though that is a worse case scenario...ugh

I don't recall a prior PED violation for Onyemata.

Well the defense might be cringeworthy for the first half of the season...

 

[WhoDatWayne66]

Wow! Hope it is not for too long!

Looks like Lorenzo Neal Jr. is a shoe in for this roster.

Like is said before, I wasn’t expecting much from this season. News like this only enhances my feelings

And yet despite this we’ll still end up winning 12-13 games again. Why am
I not worried?

I would enjoy what you are taking for the moment, as I believe the reality (when your drugs wear off) is, this team, this year, will end up 8-9 or worse. Hope the drugs last longer, but I doubt it.

Terrible for Saints. 0 breaks caught.

Now it feels like a Saints off-season.

Here we go....

How do these players keep taking substances that they "had no idea" were banned? Like, come on...

Is Shy Tuttle next man up?

His prior 1 game suspension was for a substance abuse violation. This one is for a PED violation. Those are under two different policies and one has no bearing on the other. A first violation under the the PED policy can be 2, 4, or 6 games based on what was found in his system.

From the policy on the NFLPA website https://nflpaweb.blob.core.windows....olicy on Performance-Enhancing Substances.pdf

Positive Test Result for Diuretic or Masking Agent -- two regular and/or postseason games. Positive Test Result for Stimulant5 or Anabolic Agent -- four regular and/or postseason games. Positive Test Result for a Prohibited Substance plus a Diuretic or Masking Agent/Attempt to Substitute, Dilute or Adulterate a Specimen/Attempt to Manipulate a Test Result/Violation of Section 5 -- six regular and/or postseason games.
