Said it before, but we've had more suspensions under Garrett than anyone since at least Campo, and maybe the 90s. And really I don't think it's even close.
Some writer out there should do a story on it, but that might make their precious COY look bad.

If its PED's, I don't really get mad about it. The league is clearly littered with guys who are abusing PED's. Many of those are OTC supplements any of us can buy legally.
The fact that they pick and choose who to punish for this shit is laughable IMO. There are CLEARLY guys on other rosters who have gotten away with steroid/PED abuse for years and have never been busted for it.
The guys that get busted for coke, pot or illicit drugs, those are the ones that are stupid and we should be PO'd at.

I think the Eagles Lane Johnson got suspended for something similar IIRC. Taking OTC supplements made by a company he had an endorsement deal with. His appeal was unsuccessful IIRC.

It sounds like it was cleared with him and the league, and he may have gotten a new supplement or something from that same company.
Whatever it is, seems like there is more to the story.
My personal opinion is if something is available OTC, it probably shouldn't banned.

check it out:
i also think in the secondary we had scandrick popping molly and his was 4 games.
another scrub jakar hamilton was also suspended 4 games in 2014.
joe randle was technically suspended 4 games after we released him. and his life as a grade-a psychopath has continued to blossom ever since.
what the fuck with this team's defense?

i worked at gnc in college and new supplement companies always seemed to come out of nowhere. as a supplement manufacturer, you want your customers to get the biggest gains, greatest intensity, fastest recovery, etc. the newest products always walked a fine line when it came to ban-able substances. after a couple months, the newest ingredient would make the banned substance list and they'd have to recall and re-formulate everything. lots of times there was no recall, and you could continue to buy banned supplements as long as they were available---we still sold them but we didn't get replenished.
i remember back in the day when they banned andro and ephedra and everyone wanted it after the ban.
there's no way to regulate supplements and the ban list is ever-changing. you'll always have a guy who fucks up because he took the wrong shit or even too much of the right shit. but still, as a pro-athlete, you have so many resources at your disposal that this should never happen.

why would you want a middling talent like Irving to endorse anything? this supplement company sounds like a convenient alibi he can use if he ever gets caught. "I wasn't cheating; I was innocently using a great product!"
i don't think there's fire to that smoke. lots of shitty athletes did very well marketing supplements. a strength gaining supplement with tom brady on the cover isn't going to sell shit. put a monster like irving on something and maybe you can move product.
as a workout warrior i didn't care as much how good you were at a sport, as much as what you look like.
there are some big name athletes out there that rep supplements tho.
