I just saw in SI that Will Fuller (rated as their second best offensive player) and Bradley Robey (rated as their second best defensive player) have been suspended for six games.
1. Is this true?
2. Why were they suspended?
 
A lot of people on here wanted to trade for Fuller. Dodged a bullet there.
 
The NFL is comparatively soft on suspending athletes for PEDs. In baseball, Robinson Cano of the Mets was suspended for a full season. In hockey, Nate Schmidt was suspended for 20 games. In the NBA, Wilson Chandler of the Brooklyn Nets was suspended for 25 games. In Australia, a rugby league player, Bronson Xerri received a 4 year suspension. In swimming, Ryan Lochte received a 14 month suspension. In cycling, Lance Armstrong received a lifetime ban for PEDs.
Fuller and Robey are actually very lucky to just get 6 games suspensions. If the NFL was really serious about addressing the problem, they would suspend them for at least a year.

Gotta figure that Houston loses to Indy twice and the Titans once.

It's those other two games that worry me, but without these two, maybe Chicago can beat them.
 
To be fair, Xerri was straight up using anabolic steroids.

Lochte was using an IV, that is legitimately it. No banned substance, no steroids. Just using an IV and posting a pic of it to social media!

Lance was basically using other peoples blood like a vampire to succeed at life.

Fuller may have been taking Adderall for all we know. These things all feel like they fall into different realms.
 
PED use for Fuller.
He trusted a Dr and what he took was a banned substance.
Sorry I don't have a link, I heard the report on NFL N.

Lol, that's not really how blood doping works but I'm going to use this description anyway.
 
The NFL are comparatively lenient on PED and some recreational drug use compared to other US sport and certainly compared to sport globally.
WADA and USADA should be the governing body for drug rules rather than the NFL and NFLPA cobbling together some rules together.that suits them
Credit to these two that at least they admitted their sins.
Every athlete is responsible for what is in their bodies, in my fantasy world the best athlete wins not the best chemist.

I don't know about "admitted." Fuller just claimed ignorance.

Using your example, both the NBA and NHL suspensions are shorter than what is being given to Roby/Fuller (both approximately 1/4 of the season vs these guys getting suspended 3/8 of season).

and correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought Cano wasn’t his first suspension?

I’d say they are about equally as harsh if not more
