He’ll appeal and get it reduced , unless RG rears his head yet again.

Unfortunate bump, but yes it's true!

What a disaster. Our interior D-Line is going to be awful.

A six game suspension means he tested positive for a banned substance and tried to mask or dilute it.

Now I really wish we'd drafted Barmore instead of Payton Turner.

That was my thought. Almost as if the league suspends them for a certain number of games knowing they are going to lower it on appeal. Could be 3 or 4 when done.

A six game suspension means he tested positive for a banned substance and tried to mask or dilute it.

According to the official policy document a six game suspension is not related to any masking or dilution. It is the result of a "Positive Test Result for Anabolic Agent".

Players who violate the Policy will be subject to discipline by the Commissioner as outlined below.

Step One: The first time a Player violates this Policy by testing positive for a Prohibited Substance; attempting to substitute, dilute or adulterate a specimen; or manipulating a test result, he will be suspended without pay pursuant to the following schedule:

Positive Test Result for Stimulant, Diuretic or Masking Agent -- two regular and/or postseason games.

Positive Test Result for Anabolic Agent -- six regular and/or postseason games.

Positive Test Result for Prohibited Substance plus Diuretic or Masking Agent/Attempt to Substitute, Dilute or Adulterate Specimen/Attempt to Manipulate Test Result/Violation of Section 5 -- eight regular and/or postseason games

I like Tuttle but it ends there.

So is it even possible to get it reduced now ?

I wouldn't think so unless they can show it was a tainted product explicitly okayed by the league. Onyemata did say they were testing all of his supplements to try to identify the one that caused the positive test.
