NFL May Begin Automatic Suspension For First DUI Offense 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sun May 25, 2014 11:40 pm

The NFL and NFLPA continue to work toward agreement to implement HGH testing and there could be a few additional changes in the new policy.

According to ProFootballTalk, a player "deemed legally responsible" for his first DUI offense would be hit with a one-game suspension and a fine of one game check.

For instance, if a player was arrested with illegal drugs, the NFLPA wants that player's case to go before an independent arbitrator. The NFL would want Roger Goodell to hear a case of that nature.
