NFL Get it together
Today the NFL threw down a four game suspension on Saints Defensive tackle Hollis Thomas for failing the drug policy. Which seems completely normal except for the fact that Hollis has an extreme case of asthma. The steroids he tested positive for were steroids in his inhaler. He needs to take this medicine to function in everyday life. This was not an instance of a player to better himself to et paid more, no this was an instance a player took steroids to survive in everyday activities. I completely agree that strict steroids policy is essential in sports today, but common sense is needed to understand that this situation is not cheating or breaking rules but instead a situation of an individual trying to breath. This is also not an individual making an excuse such as, "I never knowing took steroids." This is an individual back not only by friends and family, but also the New Orleans Saints organization and expert doctors of asthma. Get it right NFL punish those who cheat not those trying to breath!
