Earlier today news broke that Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller is facing a four-game suspension for violating NFL policy. Now we’re hearing that it was for marijuana and molly use. SMH. Broncos’ fans must be pissed! He is appealing the suspension. More details after the jump…
Via PFT:
Adam Schefter of ESPN has reported that Miller is facing a four-game suspension for violating a league policy. Schefter has yet to report whether Miller violated the substance-abuse policy or the PED policy.
Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports that Miller has violated both policies. Per Klis, Miller tested positive for amphetamines and marijuana in 2011. The former, which is the active ingredient in Adderall and other related substances, would trigger an automatic four-game suspension under the PED policy. The latter would require at least three violations before a suspension arises.
It appears, then, that the suspension comes from the positive test for amphetamine. But it’s still unclear why it has taken so long to get the appeal resolved.
