There was a memo distributed to all NFL clubs and players Monday from the league, making it clear that, in the wake of the recent “StarCaps” cases, the enforcement policies for the league’s drug-testing program have not changed. It’s worth noting that commissioner Roger Goodell asked DeMaurice Smith, the head of the NFLPA, to join him in issuing the memo, as a sign of support.

The suspensions that the football world waited for arrived Tuesday, when the league announced six players will be suspended four games for violating the NFL Policy on Anabolic Steroids and Related Substances.
