Do we know for sure it was pot, and not steroids or HGH or meth or hard drugs?

Either way does anyone know the current suspension laws or code that the NFL is following?

I thought at one point,
[list]
  • first strike was a warning,
  • second strike is 4 game suspension and
  • third strike is year suspension, or something like that.[/list]
  • Or maybe that was on certain illegal item or something? ... I'm just trying to figure out where does 1 game suspension fit into all of this... is this his first time getting caught and they're being harder on players now? Or is this his second time and they're being nice? And if it's the first time can be maybe appeal and say other first timers only got a warning etc.
    Or is there no code now and the NFL is kind of being random with the punishments now? ...

    He's an idiot.

    I've always believed that weed should be legal. For NFL players, weed would be a better alternative than painkillers.

    Can't even pass a drug test he knew was coming....

    in other news, look at antonio gates response to his suspension:

    “In my 12 years in the NFL, I have taken tremendous pride in upholding the integrity of the NFL shield and all that it entails,” Gates said in a statement. “I have taken extreme care of my body with a holistic approach and I have never knowingly ingested a substance that was banned by the NFL. In an effort to recover from this past season, I used supplements and holistic medicines, and unfortunately, I have now learned that those substances always present a risk because they may contain banned substances even if the ingredient list doesn’t reflect them. As an NFL veteran and team leader, I should have done my due diligence to ensure that what I was taking for recovery was within the NFL guidelines. I understand that I am responsible for what is in my body and I have always believed that ignorance is no excuse when it comes to these issues. I take full responsibility for my actions. I’d like to express my sincere apologies to the Chargers, my teammates, coaches, fans and the league who have always supported me and expected and gotten nothing but the highest level of integrity from me.”

    I have literally never seen an nfl player take responsibility like this. Props, antonio.

I know they've recently eased up a bit on punishments for failed tests for marijuana so due to just the 1 game suspension I think it's pretty likely that's what it was.
