The PED argument was the only substantive justification for the length of the suspension or the idea that a player can be arbitrarily suspended further for a contrived "lack of cooperation."
He did not and Don Yee saying things does not make them true.
The "justification" for length is only necessary because Doty is a NFLPA fanboy and flew in the face of established deference to arbitration decisions. Now that getting the band back together in Minnesota isn't happening, the discretion of the commissioner will be much more likely to carry the weight the CBA gives it.
