What drugs are banned in football? What is NFL’s drug policy?
Las Vegas Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo has been hit with a two- Game suspension after violating the NFL ’s Performance Enhancing Substances Policy. What substance did Garoppolo take? According to sources close to ESPN Senior Writer Adam Schefter, the two-time Super Bowl winner was found to have used a prescribed medication without having a valid Therapeutic Use Exemption . As a result, Garoppolo will miss the first two games of the 2024 NFL season, which begins on 5 September, although he will be able to take part in offseason activities and training camps during the summer. The 32 year old, however, is unlikely to be a Raiders player by that point, with the Las Vegas franchise expected to release him, depriving him of an $11.25 million roster bonus.
