The NFL said that Green had not violated the league's steroid policy, which carries a six-game suspension for first-time offenders. That means that the offense involved other drugs. Although the NFL would not confirm it, this is apparently the second time Green has violated the drug policy. A player receives treatment and counseling for a first offense, and no announcement is made. The penalty for a second violation is a six-game suspension.
