Players often are looking for a competitive edge, and there is no finite list of masking agents to stay ahead of enforcement...

Onyemata is going to have to make his case or he's going to have to change his ways as he has the means on his own now to do so...

Either way, after having one brush up with NFL enforcement, he should've been more guarded, alert to what he's ingesting...
The point is, JP, that no player can ever be fully aware of what he is ingesting. THAT is the ongoing problem. You can have a product tested multiple times and cleared by Aegis Shield and still get a tainted batch. Once again, that's what players have been complaining about for years.

Onyemata isn't doing anything that every other player is doing. He just happened to get the loaded chamber.

Assuming, of course, Onyemata didn't knowingly take a banned substance...

There will be a re-investigation, review of the facts of the case; Onyemata will no doubt be asked about this a number of times, and inconsistencies will reveal themselves...

There will be no re-investigation nor is there a need for one. The league is fully aware that players ingest PED's unknowingly. They also know it's not nefarious. But, it is the rules and they cannot make exceptions. The policy is zero tolerance as there is no other means at this time.
