NR toughens drug policy
NEW YORK (AP) - The NFL has
toughened up its drug policy, adding
amphetamines to the list of banned per
formance-enhancers starting in 2007.
Amphetamines were previously listed
as a "substance-abuse drug," but are
now in the same category as steroids
and other enhancers that carry much
stronger penalties. Next year will serve
as a transition year, where a first positive
test would bring a warning and put a
player into the drug program.
But in 2007, a first positive test will
result in a four-game suspension, the
same penalty now levied for positive
steroids tests.
