Substance abuse suspensions since 2010:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ootball_League

'10 - 20
'11 - 21
'12 - 40
'13 - 37
'14 - 41
'15 - 54
'16 - 55
'17 - 37
'18 - 31
'19 - 5
'20 - 2

I wonder the reasons for the spike and subsequent decrease in suspensions.

Probably because the original list of banned substances back in 2008 was numbered at 108. As of February last year it had been increased to 272 banned substances. Most likely recently the products containing those substances have been identified to the players better.
