How do you know he didn't take Sudafed. Sudafed is harmless and it's also banned by the NFL. Don't jump to conclusions. We don't know what he took.

Products such as hair growth and fertility treatments are also banned but can be exempted. Given the fact that he just fathered his third child the first could be the culprit. He might have been trying to get rid of that balding spot.

He is absolutely suspended. For how long may still be a question. And what the cause of the failed test was is also relevant. As I mentioned before, using Rogaine to help grow back a bald spot isn't quite as severe as taking powerful horse steroids, yet both are banned substances. The first can be exempted, however. The second cannot.

I don't care if he took sudafed, cocain or steroids, it doesn't matter, he is suspended anyway. It is his job and personal responsibility to know what he puts in his body and if it is allowed or not.

I played 18 years and got tested 1-2 times every year (WADA rules), that made me have to be very aware of everything I ate. The only time that was even remotely an issue thou was regarding medicines or supplements. And if i could do it as an amateur I would expect him as a pro to be able to.

That highlighted sentence is right at the crux of the matter. It sounds like he may have used some medication that he was sure was permissible. As I surmised before, if his agent was supposed to send in the TUE form giving him permission and didn't it would explain why Ingram fired him shortly after the results were relayed back to Ingram.
