Okay, so Rogers has been suspended for four games for using a banned substance. The only problem is, no one is saying what that banned substance was.

According to the Associated Press < Lions say drug policy that led to Rogers' suspension is confusing - NFL - Yahoo! Sports >, "Several Lions players said the two-time Pro Bowler fell afoul of a confusing policy that leaves them not knowing which supplements are OK and which are banned. Unlike the league's policy on street drugs, a first offense related to performance-enhancing substances brings a suspension... The NFL's announcement didn't say what Rogers took, but an official within the league told The Associated Press on Tuesday night that it was an over-the-counter substance. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the NFL had not yet announced the suspension."

Also in the AP article Lions player representative Dominic Raiola is quoted as saying, "You have to be careful, because you can flunk for NyQuil... Before I take anything, I go right to the trainers and ask them about it. If there's any question at all, I don't take it."

So what are your thoughts on the Rogers suspension and the NFL drug policy?
