You are failing to grasp that it doesn't matter if it's "performance enhancing" - the NFL's policy, which you can freely look up online, tests for the following:
“NFL Drug Panel”:
Benzoylecognine (cocaine) ≥ 150 ng/mL
Delta 9-THC-carboxylic acid (marijuana) ≥ 35 ng/mL
Amphetamine and its analogues ≥ 300 ng/mL
Opiates (total morphine and codeine) ≥ 300 ng/mL
Opioids (e.g., hydrocodone, oxycodone) ≥ 300 ng/mL
Phencyclidine (PCP) ≥ 25 ng/mL
Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (“MDMA”) and its analogues ≥ 200 ng/mL
Alcohol ≥ .06 g/dl (%)
Any player testing positive for, or admitting use of those substances is subject to disciplinary action that's clearly spelled out in the policy document. You need to understand that the NFL is a multi-state, national organization, it does not modify it's player behavior policies on a state by state basis.
Do you understand the basic concept of a contract? Do you comprehend that the NFL could contractually ban players from doing any number of perfectly legal things as a condition of their VOLUNTARY employment? If the NFL players contract said "you will never, ever wear blue socks - or you will be fired from the league" then that is legally binding, regardless of the legality of wearing blue socks wherever the player happens to live.
Good lord you fucking people are dense. It's a policy denying basic medical care for people who need it, which is worth having a conversation about. I don't give a shit that this is the way it's been done, people are making an outcry to demand change to an existing archaic, stupid system.
It's kinda like this you dense retard, just cause Islam has said it's cool to rape a six year old for over a millennium doesn't mean we can't take issue with it now.
