Thurman could face one-year suspension
The NFL Substance Abuse Policy is clear: If a player under a four-game suspension (Stage 2)is found to have violated his treatment program, he automatically advances to Stage 3. A third violation carries a minimum of a one-year banishment from the league.
Thurman, currently serving a four-game suspension for a second violation of the policy, was cited this morning for driving under the influence of alcohol. The contents of his treatment plan are not known.
The banishment would be for one calendar year.

Post a Comment*It would be helpful if you would characterize a typical treatment NFL "treatment program." Do they often have broad terms about what player may or may not do? I'm assuming alcohol is not on any NFL banned substances list, so does its use, or misuse in this case, necessarily violate anything?
