the nfl last year had a big drug problem, almost every night on sports center i would hear someone violating the substance abuse policy, or another person in some type of violation of the nfl, julius peppers got nabbed for using ephedra.... but it didn't list it on the back of the bottle where the ingredients were listed... do you think he should have gotten in trouble and also should the nfl take a closer look at what is being sold over the counter?

If you get ESPN the Mag you would understand Peppers story, as for other players they know what happens when you put that crap in your body. I think the NFL is doing a good job but they can always do better!! Lots of vets getting away with that stuff while rookies like Peppers get a bad rep for using it once or twice, just doesn't seem fair. JMO

Julius Peppers made a mistake, but I don't think he'll make it again. I'm looking for him to have a hell of a year this year.

i agree with u finebrian...hes learned... hes a very talented player it would be a shame if drugs took the best of him

Peppers will be great again this year "ephedra free"

the drug policy of NFL, NBA, MLB is a farce, implemented just to satisfy PR relations.

You see players saying that at least 60% of players in their sport use drugs

I don't think the NFL drug policy is a farce.

Does MLB even have one?

The NBA's is a joke.

With the NFL they test the players and if they find something they do take action against them.
