Do we know that the suspension is definitely for marijuana addiction ??


Just wondering if anyone can list other offences which carry a four game suspension and fit the limited public statements so far ?


My view is that the team can survive the loss of sanders for four games, but that he has really let himself and the fans down.


Hope he can bounce back and that this will be the end of his problems, because while he is a useful player he is far from indispensable.

I sure hope so. We do know its a substance abuse suspension not a PED suspension so that means either weed, crack/cocaine, meth, heroin, pills or god knows what else these kids are doing these days.


If I had to choose the substance I would hope he was using (none would be the preferred choice) it would be marijuana without question.


To answer the second part of your question its a 4 game suspension because he was already in stage 1 of the drug program due to a previous violation unbeknownst to us fans. The team did a excellent job keeping that under wraps.
