I don't know for sure. Just know that Santana is one guy I've heard rumors about for a long time from credible folk.

unless Santana has actually tested positive for something, can he suffer any sort of punishment from the league? Yeah, i know this doctor could claim that santana did, but thats just hearsay.

Well honestly I don't know much about this particular case at the moment.

Man maybe that is why we went and got so many receivers. Is it possible they knew this was coming. I would guess under the same policy they suspended Rothlisberger, thy could suspend the player that this controversy surrounds.

Just look at Big Ben, for your answer.

Fans, coaches, owners, and teammates expect you to play through injuries. The average career is only 2-3 years. If you miss any significant amount of time youre considered washed up. Contracts arnt guaranteed. There is always someone trying to take your job. A minor injury can completely kill your career.

If you are given the choice between using HGH to come back from injury (or containing a chronic injury) or working at UPS or a car dealership what would you do? I guess it’s a banned substance but maybe the rules should be modified so players can use hgh treatment for injuries.

Also my money is on Kelly. We should have kept Marko.....

If anyone needs HGH it's them. Look at their bodies after they've gotten out of the game, the guys need whatever they can get. If that involves rehabbing with HGH even during their playing years I'm for it. I don't know how they'll regulate it and I doubt that it will be allowed anytime soon but if they're serious about protecting their retired players they need to look at all angles.

Chances are, and the way the NFL works, even if it is Santana he might not get suspended until next season. To the best of my knowledge, the affidavit didn't specifically name anyone. But Jeremy Jarmon tweeted about another big name player could involved in this too.

Tom Brady

Ah..that is a bit of jaw dropper. So I'm just going to make a broad assumption not based on facts. Chances are the Commish is likely to be lenient on a guy like Brady, thus making it less likely that Tana would get a suspension too. Again, provided that the were both involved (I say involved, because no one has tested positive for anything) to the same extent.

#Redskins Phil Daniels :"There's no excuses. Every guy knows that you can't use that. HGH -- you know what that is."

#Redskins Phil Daniels: "I hope they just tear the papers up and let it go.Just go to him privately & do it that way. I don't want to know."

"I don't want to be that teammate & have to look at my partner & say 'Dawg, you've been doing that illegal, all this time?' @thatboyphil93

#Redskins Phil Daniels asked about 20 % / 10 guy per team average "It's probably more then that. Im pretty sure the temptation is there."

I'm betting hard on Moss. If i'm not mistaken he missed 2 games around Oct. 07 because of a knee injury and him coming out and saying his knee was bothering for a few years just confirmed it. Hopefully he won't get suspended this yr.

I think you have to look at how Goodell has handled other cases in the past to predict if 'Tana (if it is him) gets punished. Roethlisberger just got suspended 6 games even though no charges were filed. So I think it's safe to say if he gets implicated in this we can expect punishment on him in some way.
