I disagree wholeheartedly. Justin Blackmon signed an agreement under the drug program for the NFL and failed. This was his 3rd time doing so (that we know of). Your reference to physicians and healthcare providers is different, not one would still be employed unless they were in business for themselves after 3 failed drug screens. Yes, the state might not take action, but their employer will. Same here, Blackmon could play for a CFL or AFL team but he is banned from currently playing in the NFL. No different than the healthcare provider being banned by a certain hospital group (which happens all the time).
