Quote:That in itself is not a crime, especially coming form someone with a questionable account of the day the supposed events took place. Now if the NFL just happened to do a "random" drug test today and it came up positive that would be a different story.

 

I'm not saying it's a crime.  Never even suggested it.

 

But it might be enough for the team and/or NFL to put the players in the program if they want to.

<p style="margin-left:40px;"> 

<p style="margin-left:40px;">A failed test or a "behavior" issue such as a drug-related arrest will put a player into Stage One of the league's intervention program. There is no discipline such as a suspension in Stage One; a player is instead subject to additional testing and a treatment program at the discretion of the league's medical director.

The rules are vague enough that the owner or league could put possibly them in the program.  I don't believe it even requires an arrest (the quote gave merely one example that was, which isn't all encompassing.)

 

Again, not a good situation to put themselves in.
