New York Giant S WILL HILL has been suspended for four games
in violation of the NFL's Substance Abuse Policy. Their nemesis ADDERALL is at blame once again, the third time someone from the team has been caught using
it. Ironically, S TYLER SASH has been activated to the active roster
while being suspended for using the same medication.
RB ANDRE BROWN was also suspended for Adderral in the
offseason but won his appeal. Both Sash and Hill had
doctor's prescriptions for the medicine, yet both lost their appeal to the
league. Here's a statement from Hill:
“I received a doctor’s prescription for
Adderall prior to signing with the Giants. Shortly after signing with the team,
I was in a meeting with (director of player development) Charles Way, who
reviewed the list of the league’s banned substances. I knew at that point that
this may be an issue. I was tested and the results came back that Adderall was
in my system. I appealed but lost the appeal. I accept full responsibility for
this situation, and it won’t happen again. The Giants have given me a great
opportunity when nobody else would, and I don’t take that for granted. I feel
badly this has happened. I will work hard and stay in great shape these next
four weeks so I can come back and contribute to this team after my suspension.”
Hill will be allowed to rejoin the team on
Monday, November 5th after their game the previous day against the Pittsburgh
Steelers.
