Lane Johnson Loses 10-Game Suspension Appeal

Lane Johnson, an offensive lineman for the Philadelphia Eagles, has been denied his appeal of a 10-game sentence for his second offense of using performance-enhancing substances.

According to ESPN.com’s Phil Sheridan, Johnson accused the NFL Players Association in August of not being clear about which supplements are permitted.

The Aegis Shield app, provided to us by the NFLPA, has authorized every drug I’ve taken. The NFLPA only allows us to test our goods with that.

The players don’t seem to have any rights. Since the supplement business is unregulated, you have no idea what’s in it. Coming from a repeat offender, it may be difficult to accept, but I want to be clear that the NFLPA does not defend players.

There is no supplement quality control. They provide us with an app. It makes no difference therefore whether you phone and ask if you test positive for something they approve of.

2014 saw Johnson’s first infraction of the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy, earning him a four-game suspension.

Throughout his four-year NFL career, Johnson has started every game but for his four-game suspension.

The 2013 first-round selection will probably be replaced by Allen Barbre if the ban is upheld. As a result, Isaac Seumalo, a rookie selected in the third round, might take over as the starting left guard.
