OT: Only happens to the real classy programs

[Irish Envy]

Detroit Lions receiver Charles Rogers has been notified that he is being suspended for four games because he is in violation of the NFL's substance abuse policy, sources have told ESPN's Chris Mortensen.

The suspension could be announced this week unless Rogers appeals, the sources said.

Under the policy, Rogers' suspension means he has had at least three positive tests of an illegal street drug. A fourth positive test will result in a minimum one-year suspension. Rogers was unavailable for comment, as was his agent.

Rogers was the Lions' first-round choice in 2003, the No. 2 overall player chosen in the NFL draft. That year, ESPN reported that Rogers was flagged by the NFL's medical advisor when he provided a diluted urine sample at the NFL Scouting Combine before the draft. The result placed Rogers in the substance abuse program, which made him subject to random testing.

You know he had to be smoking the green leaves.

Maybe Randy Moss hooked him up?

Can't these guys just give it up for the short time they are in the league? Then when they retire, they can smoke a dump truck full of week. Take bong tokes for breakfast and roll foot long joints all day but why would you jeopardize millions of dollars? This isn't casual so much as addiction.
