The NFL and the NFLPA are close to a deal rewriting their drug policy which will, in part, increase the amount of weed in the body to be considered a failed test. In part of the negotiations, players presently suspended could have their sentences lifted or even thrown out all together based on the new rules.
One thing that continues to bother us is that the threshold for marijuana will increase from 0.15 mg per something to 0.35 mg per something which would have meant that Josh Gordon would NOT have failed the latest drug test since he pissed a 0.17 mg per something. But in this negotiation he won't get his suspension thrown out, just decreased from the mandatory one year suspension for a fourth offense to only 10 games for a fourth time offender. The issue is that using the new guidelines he would not have been guilty, so I don't quite understand why he would have to serve anything. Wes Welker is going to get off because they will requalify the drug he took to something that is recreational. He was guilty under the old rules by under the new rules he is not.
Then again it would involve Roger Goodell actually doing something right which we know is impossible.

Wes Welker is white. Josh Gordon is black. Hence, the disparity in the application of retroactive rules.
