NFL SUSPENDS SIX PLAYERS
Posted by Michael David Smith on December 2, 2008, 5:06 p.m.

The NFL has suspended at least six players for using a supplement with a banned ingredient.

The players appealed the suspensions and said the league should have warned them that the banned substance, bumetanide, was in the over-the-counter supplement StarCaps. But those appeals were denied.

ESPN is reporting that the six players include Minnesota Vikings defensive tackles Kevin Williams and Pat Williams and three members of the New Orleans Saints.

According to ESPN, Falcons defensive tackle Grady Jackson avoided suspension.

Ouch. Sucks for the Vikings but for the Saints aswell.

So wil this be a real suspension, lke not coming back for this season, or just something to show that they don't tolerate substance abuse and the players will be on the field again in 2 weeks?

Can't find anything but it was pretty clear going in 4 games or nothing... but did the NFL cave in?

It hurts the product on the field in a playoff run...

'The six players are each suspended for the final four games of the regular-season. If the players team qualifies for the playoffs, he is eligible to return to the active roster on Monday, Dec. 29.'
