[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 672575"] That's a different issue than whether discipline should be limited to the PED policy, which it clearly is not. As for the justification in pursuing this issue, the league office becoming "aware of a possible violation" is the criteria, as I previously quoted. Initiating an investigation is a judgement call. If I claimed in a post that Matthews used Percocet or an anti-inflammatory, that's not to be taken seriously. If you view the Al Jazeerah documentary, you might understand why the NFL would take an interest: [MEDIA=youtube]wJRPxmTuxoI[/MEDIA] In particular, Packer involvement is covered in a couple of segments, one starting around the 24:30 mark and another around the 37:00 mark. Sly and Robertson both implicate Packer players. Sly retracted his comments only after he discovered he was taped clandestinely, and averred that, "The statements on any recordings or communications that Al Jazeera plans to air are absolutely false and incorrect," without having actually viewed the 20 hours of Sly tape Al Jazeera claims to have. It's worth noting that Neal is alleged to be the gateway player into the Packer locker room, with as many as 10 Packer players involved, which has not typically been mentioned in the various blog sources which touch on only the players mentioned by name. The fact that Neal has lawyered up and so far refused to be interviewed should be of some concern. After viewing this piece, if the NFL initiated no investigation, however cursory, it would appear to be a whitewash. And any investigation, however cursory, would involve at least an interview with the persons of interest. And we certainly don't know what that investigation turned up in the six months between the NFL stating they would in fact investigate and the reports that the players in question were called in for interviews. I see little reason to believe that the NFL is not completely within the bounds of "Personal Conduct Policy." Is there anything to these allegations? Who knows. The guys on tape may have been throwing names out to impress a potential client. However, using Mike Neal, a guy that nobody has ever heard of, seems a bit peculiar had it been a fabrication. Regardless, not following up with some kind of investigation would strike me as irresponsible after viewing this documentary. Of course, uncategorical denials may or may not be valid. There is no way for us to judge. [/QUOTE]
